St. Jude Medical: ST Monitoring
… is the leading cause of death in the western world. Time is critical when treating patients with myocardial infarction. The major problem is that many patients who are symptomatic wait too long before seeking medical attention, and some patients have no symptoms at all. In order to …

St. Jude Medical: Enhanced MICS (eMICS)
Heart disease is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world. The survival chances for patients with ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia reduces significantly as time passes without treatment and even after getting timely treatment recurring episode are common. These patients can …

Universal Engineering Programmer – An In-House Development Tool for Developing and Testing Implantable Medical Devices in St. Jude Medical
<p>During development and testing of the functionality of the pacemaker and defibrillator device, engineers in the St. Jude Medical Cardiac Rhythm Management Division use an in-house development tool called Universal Engineering Programmer (UEP) to ensure the device functions as expected, before it …

Hemodynamic Flow Characterization of St. Jude Medical Bileaflet Mechanical and Bioprosthetic Heart Valve Prostheses in a Left Ventricular Model via Digital Particle Image Velocimetry
… will greatly depend on the flow character downstream the mitral valve thus a better understanding of the flow character is essential. Most in vitro studies of the flow downstream of a MHV have been conducted with the valve in the aortic position. Researchers reported detailed measurements most …

Physics-Based Li-Svo Cathode Model
<p>A cathode half cell physics-based model for a St. Jude Medical fabricated silver vanadium oxide (SVO) cathode coin cell battery was constructed. The model is based on a single particle Fick's second law approach with the open-circuit potential modeled with a Redlich-Kister equation. By assuming …

Hall Effect Modeling in FEM Simulators and Comparison to Experimental Results in Silicon and Printed Sensors
… developed using secondary data in order to understand their behavior under strong magnetic fields. Given a device geometry and charge carrier density and mobility, the models accurately calculated sensor resistance, Hall voltage under a normally-incident constant magnetic field, and expected …

Improvement of Statistical Process Control at St. Jude Medical's Cardiac Manufacturing Facility
<p>Sig sigma is a methodology where companies strive to reproduce results ending up having a 99.9996% chance their product will be void of defects. In order for companies to reach six sigma, statistical process control (SPC) needs to be introduced. SPC has many different tools associated with it, …

ST Monitoring on the Programmer for Implantable Cardioverter Devices
Cardiovascular disease is one of the most prevalent causes of death which has a high mortality rate. If identified early and treated appropriately, the mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease can be hugely reduced. For several decades, 12-Lead ECG has been the standard technique used to …

A Comparative In Vitro Study of the Flow Characteristics Distal to Mechanical and Natural Mitral Valves
… (MHV) flows are characterized by high shear stress, regions of recirculation, and high levels of turbulent fluctuations. It is well known that these flow conditions are hostile to blood constituents, which could lead to thromboembolism. In the ongoing effort to reduce long-term complications …
