An Internet-based disease monitoring system may include a miniaturized disease sensor device, which is coupled to a sensor, such as a spirometer, and a transmitter configured to transmit raw input signals from the sensor to a mobile device as cellular voice or text data for forwarding to a remote server. A remote server may be coupled to the network-based disease sensor device to provide analysis of raw input signals from the sensor. The remote server may be able to provide various services for grouping or handling functions relating to such input signals. A service may provide the ability to aggregate input signals from multiple sensors coupled to sensor devices and provide predictive modeling or statistical analysis, which may then be used to adjust future input signals. A service may also contain instructions how to handle billing based on usage of the network-based disease sensor device.

A clamping device of an external fixation system that has a jaw set with a passage at one end configured to hold an element from a first range of sizes and a second passage configured to hold an element from a different range of sizes. The jaw set includes a first jaw, a second jaw, and a slider interposed between the first and second jaws that moves to a first position when the first element is located in the first passage and to a second position when the second element is located in the second passage.

A modular patient monitor provides a multipurpose, scalable solution for various patient monitoring applications. In an embodiment, a modular patient monitor utilizes multiple wavelength optical sensor and/or acoustic sensor technologies to provide blood constituent monitoring and acoustic respiration monitoring (ARM) at its core, including pulse oximetry parameters and additional blood parameter measurements such as carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) and methemoglobin (HbMet). Expansion modules provide blood pressure BP, blood glucose, ECG, CO2, depth of sedation and cerebral oximetry to name a few. Aspects of the present disclosure also include a transport dock for providing enhanced portability and functionally to handheld monitors. In an embodiment, the transport dock provides one or more docking interfaces for placing monitoring components in communication with other monitoring components. In an embodiment, the transport dock attaches to the modular patient monitor.

A disposable patient interface includes a reusable sensor that removably mounts within a shoe of the disposable patient interface when at least one protrusion on opposite ends of the sensor removably lock with corresponding at least one aperture on opposite portions of the shoe. The patient interface includes a compliant structure which conforms to a patient's body upon placement thereon without causing wrinkles in the compliant structure so as to maximize adhesion of the compliant structure against skin on the patient's body when the compliant structure is conformed to muscle underlying skin on the patient's body.

A dental add-on for an electronic communication device having a screen and an imager, the add-on including: a body comprising: a distal portion sized and shaped to be at least partially inserted into a human mouth within, in one or more dimension, one or both dental arches; and an optical path extending from an optical element of the electronic communication device, through the body to the distal portion and configured to adapt a FOV of the optical element for dental imaging; a connector for connection of the dd-on body to the electronic communication device.

A pulse oximetry system for reducing the risk of electric shock to a medical patient can include physiological sensors, at least one of which has a light emitter that can impinge light on body tissue of a living patient and a detector responsive to the light after attenuation by the body tissue. The detector can generate a signal indicative of a physiological characteristic of the living patient. The pulse oximetry system may also include a splitter cable that can connect the physiological sensors to a physiological monitor. The splitter cable may have a plurality of cable sections each including one or more electrical conductors that can interface with one of the physiological sensors. One or more decoupling circuits may be disposed in the splitter cable, which can be in communication with selected ones of the electrical conductors. The one or more decoupling circuits can electrically decouple the physiological sensors.

An ear probe assembly comprising a housing structure and a first transducer and a second transducer arranged in said housing structure is disclosed. The ear probe assembly further comprising a channel structure comprising at least a first transducer entrance and a second transducer entrance configured to receive first and second sound ports of the transducers, where further a tip portion is configured to engage with the channel structure in a detachable manner.

An inserter for a medical device, where the inserter includes a housing having a first end with an opening therein, an actuator connected to a first gear, an actuator biasing element, a cam gear assembly including a cam member and a second gear, a cam bridge follower in contact with the cam member, and a first plunger assembly having a first plunger and a first biasing element.

Devices and methods for treatment of a patient's vasculature are described. Embodiments may include a permeable implant having a radially constrained state configured for delivery within a catheter lumen, an expanded state, and a plurality of elongate filaments that are woven together. The implant may include first and second permeable shells. The first permeable shell having a proximal end with a concave or recessed section and a second permeable shell having a convex section that mates with the concave or recessed section. The implant also includes a flexible, articulating joint between the first and second permeable shells.

Surgical devices and surgical systems are disclosed. The surgical device can comprise an actuator and a control circuit configured to adjust one or more functions of the surgical device based on a signal from a situationally-aware surgical hub. A surgical system can comprise a screen and a control circuit configured to communicate a priority level of a recommendation to the clinician on the display.
