Abstract:
Systems and methods for a telescoping suction gripper assembly are provided. In one embodiment, a robotic system comprises: a robot comprising a robotic actuator and at least one robotic arm mechanically coupled to the robotic actuator; a telescoping suction gripper assembly comprising a telescoping member and a suction gripper mechanism, wherein a first end of the telescoping member is coupled to a vacuum supply conduit via a first flexible conduit member and a second end of the telescoping member is coupled to the suction gripper mechanism by a second flexible conduit member, and wherein the suction gripper mechanism is pivotally coupled to the at least one robotic; wherein the telescoping member is configured to adjust in length in response to the at least one robotic arm relocating the suction gripper mechanism from a first position to a second position.
Blood And Marrow Draw Processing Devices And Methods
Apparatus, systems and methods for processing a blood sample. One embodiment includes an isolation container having at least one sidewall defining an interior volume. The interior volume includes a medial reservoir in fluid communication with proximal and distal reservoirs. The diameter of the medial reservoir is less than the diameter of the proximal and distal reservoirs. Therefore, the isolation container has an interior volume which is roughly hour-glass shaped with the medial reservoir being a substantially narrowed portion or channel between two wider portions. The isolation container is configured such that the buffy coat layer of fractionated blood will be located within, or may be manipulated to be with the medial reservoir.

Device, system and method embodiments are disclosed herein which provide for the production of a modified autologous platelet solution at the patient bedside for contemporaneous reinjection to the patient. In certain embodiments all of the steps including, but not limited to blood draw, platelet lysis, solution preparation and reinjection to a patient may be accomplished in a single office or clinic visit without relocating the patient. Accordingly, the apparatus, devices and systems disclosed herein generally include a substantially stand-alone machine, device or system which is configured to accept a platelet containing solution, induce lysis of one or more platelet bodies within the platelet containing solution and provide the resulting modified platelet solution in a manner suitable for injection into the patient.

Abstract:
Embodiments include particle delivery devices and systems and methods of delivering particles to a site. The device and system embodiments include a suspension reservoir which might be a syringe for temporarily storing and delivering a particle suspension. The particle delivery device also includes a mechanical linkage or other structure which allows the suspension reservoir to rotate or otherwise be moved with respect to, or about, a reservoir axis. Rotation or other movement of the suspension reservoir provides a means for maintaining the particles in suspension during particle storage, loading and delivery processes.
