UROMEMS Patent US12605240B2 - Implantable Sensor Protection System
Summary
The USPTO granted U.S. Patent 12605240B2 to UROMEMS for a system protecting a force measurement sensor in an implantable occlusion device. The patent covers an elastic element arranged to bias the force sensor in a direction opposite to exerted forces, deformable to protect the sensor from compressive or tractive forces exceeding a threshold. The patent contains 20 claims.
What changed
The USPTO issued U.S. Patent 12605240B2 to UROMEMS covering a protective system for implantable force measurement sensors. The invention comprises a force measurement sensor designed to measure tractive or compressive forces along a longitudinal axis, combined with a pre-strained elastic element that biases the sensor opposite to exerted forces and deforms to protect the sensor when force thresholds are exceeded.
Medical device manufacturers developing implantable occlusion or reservoir devices with force measurement capabilities should review this patent when designing similar systems to assess potential freedom-to-operate implications. The 20-claim scope suggests broad protection over the elastic biasing mechanism for sensor overload prevention in fluid reservoir applications.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system for protecting a sensor for a force measurement comprising:
a force measurement sensor (1), designed to measure at least one tractive force or one compressive force exerted along a longitudinal axis (X) of the sensor, said sensor being designed to be made integral with a moveable part of a fluid reservoir, anda pre-strained elastic element (2) arranged to bias the force sensor (1) in a direction opposite to said exerted force, said elastic element being deformable in the direction of the exerted force so as to protect the sensor from at least one compressive or tractive force greater than a threshold.
