DEVICES AND METHODS OF URINALYSIS FOR REAL-TIME MONITORING OF ORGAN HEALTH
20230204571 · 2023-06-29 ·

A non-invasive system and method for disease detection and real-time monitoring of organ health wherein the changes in the electrical properties of urine samples are studied over time in the presence or absence of interacting chemicals for qualitative and quantitative estimation of urinary analytes. The system has two components—a test platform and a reader. The test platform is integrated with electrodes and chemicals, which interact with urine to detect the biomarker of the disease and quantify the analyte. The changes in the electrical properties serve as an electrical signature for a particular analyte. This electrical signal from the test platform is relayed to an electronic reader that receives, processes, and analyzes the data for single test detection or continuous monitoring. The reader stores the information that can then be coupled to a readout system or transmitted by wired or wireless mechanisms to any electronic platform in real-time.

Catheter tray, packaging system, instruction insert, and associated methods

A tray (100) for accommodating a coiled medical device, such as a catheter assembly (700), includes a first compartment (101), a second compartment (102), and a third compartment (103). The catheter assembly (700) and devices associated with a catheterization procedure, such as syringes (701,702) containing sterile water and lubricating jelly and a specimen container (703) can be disposed within the tray. Printed instructions (1001) can be included with the tray (100). One or more layers of wrap material (2200) can be folded about the tray (100) to enclose the tray (100) and other items, such as an additional layer of wrap material (2701), packaged liquid hand sanitizer (2401), and packaged gloves (2402). When a health care services provider (3101) unfolds the wrap material, the same can be used to create a sterile field beneath a patient (3201).

Device for collecting liquid and smart toilet comprising the same

The present invention provides a device for collecting liquid and a smart toilet comprising the same. The device comprises a fixing support, a swinging mechanism, a suction tube assembly and a pump body mechanism; the suction tube assembly (9) comprises a slide rail component and a retractable suction tube component disposed therein, one end of the slide rail component is connected to the swinging mechanism; the suction tube component comprises a suction tube internally provided with a cavity and an opening disposed above the cavity, and a first conduit disposed in the suction tube one end of the first conduit is inserted in the cavity, the other end of the first conduit is connected to the pump body mechanism. The fixing support is fixedly connected to the toilet body; the suction tube component swings towards the center of the toilet under the effect of the swinging mechanism, the suction tube component is used for receiving the urine. The device further comprises a liquid-level sensing mechanism for monitoring the amount of the urine in the cavity in real time and controlling the start and stop of the pump body mechanism according to the amount of the urine. The device takes the urine sucked in the air as a sample for health analysis, avoiding the problem of cross-contamination caused by sucking the urine from the inside surface of the toilet.
