Description
本発明の態様は、生物系における体腔、組織、および器官における圧をモニターおよび制御するための新しくかつ有用な装置、システム、および方法に関し、より詳しくは、眼内圧センサーおよび弁装置、それらを使用するシステムおよび方法に関する。本発明の態様は、インプラントまたはリモート貯蔵部への液アクセスを制御することにより、生物系または非生物系に薬物および/またはその他の薬剤を投与するために使用されてもよい。
広く知られた慢性疾患である原発性解放隅角緑内障(POAG)は、盲目の第三位の原因としてWorld Health Organizationによって分類されている。67百万人もの人が緑内障を患い、10%が結果として両目における視力を失うと考えられる。先進医療を有する先進国においてさえも、臨床的上昇眼内圧(IOP)に関連する緑内障を有する人の半分以上は、自らの容態に気付いてさえいない。
本発明は、自動的に圧を測定し、かつ弁およびセンサーを制御することによって、例えばIOPなどの身体部分の圧をモニターおよび制御するためのシステムおよび方法を提供する。本発明のシステムは、医師または患者によって調整可能なシステムの圧セットポイントを伴う、圧(例えば、IOP)の一定のモニタリングおよび制御を可能にする。弁およびセンサーからのデータは、臨床的に選択された圧が維持され、かつ弁が適切に機能していることを決定するために、記録され、かつ医師または患者に送信され得る。
[本発明101]
身体部分に配置される第一開口端を有しかつ第二開口端を有する、インプラント可能なチューブ;
チューブに連結され、かつ少なくとも一つの開状態および閉状態を有する、インプラント可能な弁;
身体部分内の少なくとも一つの圧の測定値を獲得するように構成される、第一のインプラント可能なセンサー;ならびに
弁およびセンサーに連結され、かつ少なくとも一つの測定値を受信し、その少なくとも一つの測定値に基づいて、弁の少なくとも一つの開状態と閉状態とを切り換えるように構成される、インプラント可能な制御デバイス
を含み、
弁が少なくとも一つの開状態にある場合に、チューブの第一開口端と第二開口端の圧の差によって、チューブが身体部分から液を排出させる、
身体部分における圧を制御するためのシステム。
[本発明102]
センサーが圧電抵抗変換器を含む、本発明101のシステム。
[本発明103]
センサーが光ファイバーセンサーを含む、本発明101のシステム。
[本発明104]
