A obstetric hemorrhage cart having a chassis riding on wheels, drawers supported by the chassis, a cooling apparatus such as a refrigerator in the chassis, a locking bar pivotally attached to the chassis, a scale drawer, a scale mounted in the scale drawer, and a positionable task light attached to the chassis. Each of the drawers may include a drawer lock shiftable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking bar may be lockable in a blocking orientation and shiftable to a non-blocking orientation when unlocked, thus serving as a secondary safety lock preventing the drawers and a cooling apparatus door from inadvertently opening during travel. The scale may have a weight surface and a scale display, and the scale drawer may have a window for viewing the scale display from a front of the chassis when the scale drawer is open.

A system is disclosed for monitoring and controlling a refrigerated medical storage unit. The system may include a control station. The control station may receive temperature information from the refrigerated medical storage unit and may cause at least a portion of the temperature information to be stored. The control station may determine whether the temperature is outside a predefined range and may causes an alarm to be generated when the temperature is outside the predefined range. The control station may receive user authentication information from a user, and upon verification of the user authentication information, send unlock instructions to the refrigerated medical storage unit.

This document provides devices and methods for the monitoring and maintenance of the temperature and the security of many medical reservoirs in a secure fashion that enables for safe storage and transport of medical reservoirs that can allow for easy documentation of a chain of custody and temperature history profile. For example, this document provides devices and methods for monitoring the temperature of blood in phlebotomy tubes. In some embodiments of the devices and methods, the temperature of the contents of the medical reservoirs are regulated, modulated, and/or maintained by the devices provided herein.

Embodiments of the invention provide medication dispensing carts and methods. The medication dispensing carts may include a base having wheels that allow the carts to be transported within a facility, a computing device configured to receive input from a user, a display device communicatively coupled with the computing device for displaying information to the user, a post that couples the display device with the base, and a plurality of cassettes that have one or more bins within which medical supplies are stored. The plurality of cassettes may be coupled with the post and the post may include a plurality of communication ports that communicatively couple one or more of the cassettes with the computing device to perform or provide various functions.

The present invention relates to a robot arm for use in surgery, microsurgery or super-microsurgery, said robot arm comprising: a first, proximal arm element having a first arm length, the proximal arm element being connected to a first, proximal joint having a first roll and a first pitch, and a second, intermediate joint having a second roll and a second pitch; a second, intermediate arm element having a second arm length, the intermediate arm element being connected to the intermediate joint and a third, distal joint having a third roll and a third pitch, and a third, distal arm element having a third arm length, the third arm element being connected to the distal joint, wherein the ratios between the first to second to third arm element lengths are: (1.00+10%):{(1.00 to 1.05)+10%}:(0.60+10%).

A surgical system drape incudes: a sheath having an interior cavity sized to cover a portion of a surgical system manipulator; an adaptor coupled to the sheath and including a manipulator interface and an instrument interface, the manipulator interface configured to couple with a drive interface of the manipulator, the instrument interface being configured to couple with a drive interface of a surgical instrument mounted to the manipulator; and a fluid conduit coupled to the sheath and extending within the interior cavity of the sheath, the fluid conduit configured to receive a flow of cooling fluid at a fluid port and convey the fluid along the interior cavity of the sheath to cool a component of a portion of the manipulator.
