Thrombectomy catheter deployment system
First Claim
1. A pump and catheter assembly for use with a drive unit comprising:
- a preconnected and consolidated pump and catheter assembly including;
a catheter, andan infusion pump in communication with the catheter, the infusion pump including a piston having a piston head, the piston head is configured for coupling with a pump connector of a drive unit, the drive unit configured to reciprocate the piston;
wherein the infusion pump and catheter are in communication prior to loading within the drive unit; and
wherein the consolidated pump and catheter assembly includes one or more digital instructions for the drive unit.

Abstract
A thrombectomy catheter deployment for operation of a thrombectomy catheter includes a stand alone drive unit and a disposable pump/catheter assembly which is manually placed into a carriage assembly in the drive unit. The pump/catheter assembly has a plurality of preconnected components including tubular structure and a thrombectomy catheter connected thereto and is transported into or out of the interior of the drive unit for automatic high pressure pump piston head engagement or disengagement with a reciprocating linear actuator and for automatic engagement of disengagement of an effluent waste tube with a roller pump. A barcode reader senses specific operational data pertaining to an individual pump and provides an interface for operation of the reciprocating linear actuator.
