A system for mass vaccination includes a plurality of portable electronic injectors, a mobile process manager and a database. Each portable electronic injector includes at least one needle to administer a measured amount of at least one vaccine to a body skin/tissue and an indicator system to provide an indication when either an injection error occurs or when a vaccination indication is required. The mobile process manager is in wireless communication with the plurality of injection devices and controls a mass vaccination. The process manager transmits task data to all injection devices in parallel via WI-FI, receives the vaccination indications from each injector in real time, also receives injection errors and vaccination process data, alerts a vaccination process overseer generally in real-time of the errors and transmits the injection data from each injector via cellular and/or internet transmission to the database.

Disclosed herein are devices (e.g., needles (e.g., hollow needles), hollow staples, articles, apparatuses, and systems), kits, and methods for treating skin and skin conditions, for example, by promoting skin tightening, such as by reducing skin laxity and reducing tissue area or volume.

A fluid delivery manifold system assembled and configured to allow delivery of a single dose of a therapeutic agent (e.g., vaccine, drug, medicament, etc.) from a Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) vial to a patient. The delivery assembly generally includes a modular manifold design consisting of separately constructed components cooperatively arranged and coupled to one another. The modular manifold construction allows for rapid manufacturing reconfigurations of one or more components with minimal costs to create new delivery manifold configurations that meet specific needs (i.e., different modes of delivery depending on agent to be delivered, such as subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, intravenous injection, spray, or droplet delivery).

A chemical-liquid injection head including a syringe holding unit which holds a syringe in which a piston member is slidably inserted into a cylinder member having a circular cylindrical shape, a piston driving mechanism having a ram member for moving the piston member of the syringe, and a first light emitting portion which emits light with a first color and illuminates the syringe and a second light emitting portion which emits light with a second color and illuminates the syringe. The first light emitting portion and the second light emitting portion, viewed in a posture at the time of use of the injection head, are provided at an upper side of the ram member.

A hand-held ultrasound system includes integrated electronics within an ergonomic housing. The electronics includes control circuitry, beamforming and circuitry transducer drive circuitry. The electronics communicate with a host computer using an industry standard high speed serial bus. The ultrasonic imaging system is operable on a standard, commercially available, user computing device without specific hardware modifications, and is adapted to interface with an external application without modification to the ultrasonic imaging system to allow a user to gather ultrasonic data on a standard user computing device such as a PC, and employ the data so gathered via an independent external application without requiring a custom system, expensive hardware modifications, or system rebuilds. An integrated interface program allows such ultrasonic data to be invoked by a variety of such external applications having access to the integrated interface program via a standard, predetermined platform such as visual basic or c++.

A system for carbon dioxide (CO2) removal from a circulatory system of a patient includes a medical device providing extracorporeal lung assist (ECLA) treatment to the patient through extracorporeal removal of CO2 from the patient's blood; at least one control unit controlling the operation of the medical device so as to control a degree of CO2 removal obtained by the ECLA treatment; and a bioelectric sensor detecting a bioelectric signal indicative of the patient's efforts to breathe. The at least one control unit is configured to control the operation of the medical device based on the detected bioelectric signal.

In some embodiments, disclosed herein are systems and methods of treating a patient that can include the steps of accessing the sphenopalatine fossa, and cannulating the inferior orbital fissure from the sphenopalatine fossa to access the retro-orbital space. The sphenopalatine fossa can be accessed via various routes, including percutaneously. Accessing the sphenopalatine fossa can include the step of inserting a needle-catheter system into the sphenopalatine fossa. Integrated needle-catheter systems as described herein can also be configured to access the trigeminal ganglion, epidural space, intrathecal space, and other desired anatomical locations.

Disclosed is a system for injecting a radioactive product to a patient, wherein the system includes: a first syringe containing the radioactive product, whose plunger cooperates with an injection mass, acting by gravity, associated with deactivatable holding element; a mobile stop arranged to constitute an end-of-travel stop for the retraction of the plunger, as a function of the volume of radioactive product to be injected to the patient; a second syringe containing a rinsing product, whose plunger cooperates with a rinsing mass, acting by gravity, associated with deactivatable holding element; a trigger control element for triggering the injection of the radioactive product to the patient; and a management element including a unit for displacing the mobile stop structure as a function of the prescribed activity to be injected to the patient, and a unit for controlling the deactivatable holding element of the masses.

A packaging device is configured to support medical containers, the packaging device including a first nest including a first set of supporting units configured to support a proximal end of a first plurality of medical containers and a second nest including a second set of supporting units configured to support a proximal end of a second plurality of medical containers. The first set of supporting units and the second set of supporting units being configured to maintainer the first plurality of medical containers and the second plurality of medical containers in an inverted position relative to each other. The first nest further comprises apertures configured to maintain a distal end of the second plurality of medical containers while the second nest comprises apertures configured to maintain a distal end of the first plurality of medical containers.
