MUMBAI, India, Oct. 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617024371 A) filed by Sirius Medical Systems B. V. on March 01, 2026, for Magnetic Field Probe For Determining A Disposition To An Implantable Marker Using Additional Detection Zones.
Inventors include Schermers, Bram; Van Leijsen, Adrianus Cornelis Petrus; and Dinkova, Vladislava Vladimirova.
The application for the patent was published on October 02, 2026, under issue no. 40/2026.
Abstract: During both invasive and non-invasive treatments and therapies, it is important that health professionals be able to accurately locate magnetic markers. A magnetic field probe (101, 102, 103, 104) is provided comprising a distal end (160), a first magnetic sensor (111), close to the distal end (160), and a second magnetic sensor (112) to determine magnetic field vectors of an implantable marker (200); arranged to define a distal marker detection zone (190), extending more distally away from the distal end and to define a flank marker detection zone (192, 194), extending more transversely and/or more radially away from the longitudinal axis or plane (151, 152, 153); arranged to determine if the angular disposition and/or distance coincides with the flank marker detection zone; and arranged to alter, attenuate and/or suppress processing of field vector determinations if a disposition (170) to the marker does not coincide with the flank marker detection zones. The more flank locations may be perceived being to a side and behind the distal end of the magnetic field probe, providing a more intuitive magnetic probe for finding implantable markers, particularly in situations where a magnetic probe reference has passed the implantable marker.
