A patient support apparatus comprises a support structure, an articulation system, and a headboard assembly. The support structure comprises a head end, a foot end, a base, and a patient support deck to support a patient between the head end and the foot end. The patient support deck comprises a first section and a second section capable of articulating relative to the first section. The articulation system articulates the second section relative to the first section. The headboard assembly is coupled to the second section to be arranged adjacent to a head of the patient lying on the patient support deck. At least a portion of the headboard assembly articulates with the second section when the second section articulates relative to the first section. The headboard assembly comprises one or more environment controls operable to alter an environment of the patient on the patient support deck.

A power transfer system comprises a patient support apparatus and a power transfer device. The power transfer system provides convenience and ease of connection between a power source and the patient support apparatus to provide power to one or more electrically powered devices on the patient support apparatus or to provide energy for an energy storage device on the patient support apparatus.

An equipment cart for medical equipment, such as medical disinfection equipment, includes a base with a support surface for securing the equipment and casters that allow the equipment cart to be moved. A mechanical locking mechanism for the equipment may be provided. The equipment cart has an upright support connected to the base, and a work surface supported by the upright support and spaced from the base. A power system, including an uninterruptible power supply, is provided onboard the equipment cart and supplies AC power to one or more electrical outlets on the equipment cart in the form of generally sinusoidal AC power.

In a portable terminal device, it is possible to display information of caller and the like when a call is received. Incoming call signal reception means (11) receives an incoming call signal including a caller number, caller information, and ring type information. Image generation means (12) generates, based on the incoming call signal, a caller information image including at least a portion of the caller information as character information. Telephone dictionary registering means (13) registers the caller number, caller text information, and the caller information image in a telephone dictionary (14). Incoming call screen display means (15) receives the caller number and acquires the registered caller text information and the caller information image corresponding to the received caller number from the telephone dictionary (14). Incoming call screen display means (15) displays an incoming call screen including the caller text information and the caller information image.

A cabinet for charting. The cabinet includes a charting station, a computer cabinet, and at least one supplemental cabinet. Medicine, PPE, medical equipment, etc. can be stored in the supplemental cabinet. The charting station allows a user to enter information about a patient. The charting station can include a monitor, keyboard, and/or a scanner. The charting station can be coupled to the base via an arm.

Disclosed is a portable rehabilitation apparatus and method for use of the apparatus by a user or patient. The apparatus is adapted for transitioning between a collapsed state to facilitate the mobility of the rehabilitation robot (e.g., using wheels) and an open state for operation of the rehabilitation robot by the user. The apparatus includes the rehabilitation robot that is contained within a compartment defined by a housing which is made up of moveable portions. The apparatus also includes a mast assembly adapted to form a gap between the moveable housing portions in order to provide the user with access to the rehabilitation robot. The mast assembly is further adapted to collapse, thereby eliminating the gap and closing off the compartment when the rehabilitation robot is not in use.

Systems and methods for providing data continuity for a mobile medical cart are provided. A battery board comprising a voltage detection circuit (“VCD”), a microcontroller, and a switching device electrically interposed between an alternative power source, a removable battery, and system boards for controlling cart functions. The microcontroller commands the switching device to: begin sourcing power solely from the alternative power source upon detection of a voltage decrease, begin sourcing power solely from the removable battery upon detection of a voltage increase where a valid charge state exists, and continue sourcing power solely from the alternative power source upon detection of the voltage increase where no valid charge state exists.

A mobile oxygen point of use apparatus includes a standalone and portable mounting panel having a first side and a second side and is configured to be portably relocated within a facility by at least one human operator. A first set of oxygen flow regulators are mounted on the first side of the mounting panel and have multiple first oxygen inputs and multiple first oxygen outputs. A second set of oxygen flow regulators are mounted on the second side of the mounting panel and have multiple second oxygen inputs and multiple second oxygen outputs. A low pressure oxygen input is mounted on the mounting panel and a single pipeline or hose is configured to be connected from the low pressure oxygen input to a source of oxygen. Distribution plumbing connects the low pressure oxygen input to the multiple first oxygen inputs and the multiple second oxygen inputs.

Various embodiments concern locking release mechanisms that allow an articulated support arm to be moved between various vertical orientations. A locking release mechanism may include a handle release mechanism positioned within the handle of the articulated support arm, and a gas spring release mechanism positioned within the body of the articulated support arm. The articulated support arm can include a gas spring that remains locked until the handle release mechanism is activated, e.g. by applying pressure to a grip actuator. Other embodiments concern cable management techniques for articulated support arms. Oftentimes, an articulated support arm will include cables routed through the arm that are configured to support an attachment. For example, the cable(s) may be adapted for audio signals, video signals, power, etc. The cable(s) can be readily cleaned and/or serviced when routed through an articulated support arm composed of one or more removable pieces.

An aerosolization mitigation device is provided. The aerosolization mitigation device can include a negative pressure aerosolization mitigation system. A transparent barrier can form a frame of the system, and a negative pressure can be generated in the internal volume. The device can isolate a patient to allow ambulatory, surgical, and routine care to proceed during periods of higher patient volume or viral transmission. The negative pressure environment mitigates viral transmission to protect healthcare providers and others in the vicinity of the patient from health risks during patient care.
