Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system, apparatus and method directed to a magnetizer comprising at least one magnet; and a housing, the housing comprising: a top face; a bottom face positioned on an opposite side of the housing from the top face; a plurality of faces adjoining the top face and the bottom face; an interior comprising an interior surface formed at least in part by the top face, the bottom face and the plurality of faces; wherein the top face includes a first opening configured to receive a medical device; and wherein the at least one magnet is positioned within the interior of the housing. A face of the plurality of faces may include a second opening to expose at least a portion of the interior surface through the second opening. The second opening may be larger than the first opening.

Abstract: Needle-guidance systems, components, and methods thereof are disclosed. A needle-guidance system can include a console, a needle magnetizer incorporated into the console, an RFID-tag reader incorporated into the console, and an ultrasound probe. The console can be configured to instantiate a needle-guidance process for guiding insertion of a magnetized needle into a blood vessel of a patient using a combination of ultrasound-imaging data, magnetic-field data, and RFID-tag information for the needle received by the console. The ultrasound probe can be configured to provide to the console electrical signals corresponding to both the ultrasound-imaging data and the magnetic-field data. The ultrasound probe can include an array of piezoelectric transducers and an array of magnetic sensors respectively configured to convert reflected ultrasound signals from the patient into an ultrasound-imaging portion of the electrical signals convert magnetic signals from the magnetized needle into a magnetic-field portion of the electrical signals.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a stabilization feature configured to be coupled to an ultrasound probe, or similar medical device and grasped by one or more fingers of a user. The user can then manipulate the stabilization feature and probe assembly without requiring any opposing pressure to be applied by the thumb. As such a user is free to use the thumb to operate controls disposed on the probe, or stabilize a skin surface, or the like. The stabilization feature can include a first portion configured to be grasped by one or more fingers, and a second portion configured to engage the probe. Further, the second portion can engage the probe through a sheath to maintain a sterile barrier therebetween. Alternatively, the first portion can be grasped by one or more fingers through a sheath to maintain a sterile barrier therebetween.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a vessel assessment system configured to image a target vessel and determine which vascular access device (VAD) to use to access the target vessel while remaining within one or more insertion parameters of percentage vessel occupancy, and dwell length given a predetermined range of insertion angles. The system can superimpose a target vessel sizing ring to measure a diameter or cross-sectional area, or to measure a depth of the target vessel. Further, the system can provide a list of VAD' s that can access the target vessel within one or more insertion parameters. The system can provide an icon representing the VAD superimposed over the target vessel to provide a visual representation of the vascular access device within the target vessel.
