Operating room lighting system
A flexible operating room lighting system may be coupled to a wall, ceiling, or fixture of a facility. The lighting system can modularly accommodate multiple illumination arms and incorporate one or more microphone thereon, permitting the vocal control using a processor for hands free operations. The lighting system may include a speaker and a camera to facilitate two-way communications with a user to facilitate demonstrations for individuals undergoing tutelage in the particular facility's profession. The lighting system may employ a stand with wheels to facilitate modularity. Further, a cover with a transparent front end may be provided to be slipped over the lighting system and securing through a cover fastener. By providing each illumination arm with a jack, the illumination arm may be modularly assigned, replaced, sanitized. Thus, the present invention provides reliable sanitary measures while further facilitating a flexible operable device through the illumination arms.
APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR DETERMINE BIOMETRIC DATA OF A USER AND AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an apparatus to determine biometric data of a user including: a processing circuit configured to: generate a control signal relating to a control value for controlling a wavelength of emitted light of a light source; receive biometric input data based on reflected light from the skin of the user caused by the light of the wavelength emitted by the light source; and determine biometric data of the user based on the biometric input data; and an output interface configured to provide the biometric data of the user.
MULTI-DEGREES-OF-FREEDOM HAND CONTROLLER
Disclosed is a controller including a first control member, a second control member that extends from a portion of the first control member, and a controller processor that is operable to produce a rotational movement output signal in response to movement of the first control member, and a translational movement output signal in response to movement of the second control member relative to the first control member. The rotational movement output signal may be any of a pitch movement output signal, a yaw movement output signal, and a roll movement output signal, and the translational movement output signal may be any of an x-axis movement output signal, a y-axis movement output signal, and a z-axis movement output signal. In exemplary embodiments, the first control member may be gripped and moved using a single hand, and the second control member may be moved using one or more digits of the single hand, thus permitting highly intuitive, single-handed control of multiple degrees of freedom, to and including, all six degrees of rotational and translational freedom without any inadvertent cross-coupling inputs.
INDICATOR AND ANALYTICS FOR SENSOR INSERTION IN A CONTINUOUS ANALYTE MONITORING SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS
The present embodiments provide systems and methods for, among others, tracking sensor insertion locations in a continuous analyte monitoring system. Data gathered from sensor sessions can be used in different ways, such as providing a user with a suggested rotation of insertion locations, correlating data from a given sensor session with sensor accuracy and/or sensor session length, and providing a user with a suggested next insertion location based upon past sensor accuracy and/or sensor session length at that location.
TIME AND LOCATION-BASED LINKING OF CAPTURED MEDICAL INFORMATION WITH MEDICAL RECORDS
Systems, methods, and computer readable media related to aggregating and associated captured medical data are disclosed. They involve receiving an ID of a piece of equipment in a medical facility, location information for the equipment, and medical information captured by the equipment; and ascertaining a time of information capture by the equipment. They further involve performing a lookup in a data record to determine an identity of a particular patient assigned to a location associated with the location information and performing a lookup in a data structure to identify a medical record of the particular patient. They further involve establishing an association between the medical information captured by the equipment and the medical record to thereby enable access to the medical information through access to the medical record of the particular patient.
Methods and systems for controlling energy delivery in medical devices
Systems for controlling ablation procedures that include a user interface. The user interface can include a display; and a memory with a computer executable method stored thereon, the computer executable method adapted to cause to be displayed on the display a plurality of interactive elements for controlling one or more aspects of the ablation.
Electrical components for physiological monitoring device
The present disclosure relates to a device configured to be adhered to the surface of a mammal for recording physiological signals. The device may include a housing enclosing a circuit board and a flexible wing extending from the housing. The device may include an electrode coupled to the flexible wing and an electrical trace for transmitting an electrical signal between the electrode and the circuit board. The electrical trace may have an insulator with a conductive material and resistors printed on the surface of the insulator. The trace layer may include conductive vias for transmitting the signal from a bottom of the trace layer to a top of the trace layer. The housing may include a battery having a battery terminal connector configured to provide electrical access to both terminals on a single side of the battery. The housing may include a floating trigger button.
A SMART, PERSONAL AND PORTABLE MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE
A portable medical diagnostic device (100) to collect and analyze one or more biological specimen of a user is provided. The device (100) includes a housing having an interactive display (102) and a keypad (104). The keypad (104) comprises a plurality of selectable keys (106-1 or 106-2). The device (100) includes one or more biological specimen collection modules (108) operatively connected to the housing to receive at least one biological specimen of the user. One or more biological specimen collection modules (108) are communicably coupled with at least one selectable key of the selectable keys (106-1 or 106-2). The device (100) includes one or more sensors (110) provided in each of biological specimen collection module (108), configured to analyze at least one biological specimen received in the associated biological specimen collection module to determine one or more parameters of the biological specimen to be displayed on the interactive display (102).
DIRECT-VISION ABORTION UTERINE CURETTAGE DEVICE AND SYSTEM
A direct-vision abortion uterine curettage device and a direct-vision abortion uterine curettage system are provided. The direct-vision abortion uterine curettage device includes a uterine curettage mechanism, an observation mechanism, a circuit, a negative pressure suction mechanism and an operating rod. A diagnostic curette of the uterine curettage mechanism is arranged at front ends of the operating rod and a camera and is in a visual field of the camera. The camera being mounted at the rear may guarantee that the diagnostic curette is completely within a range of the visual field of the camera, so that an operation procedure may be fully visible without any observation blind areas. Meanwhile, there will be no operation blind spots due to the diagnostic curette being blocked by a height of a lens module itself The direct-vision abortion uterine curettage system can perform surgical operations under real-time display of a display system.
Articles, kits and methods adapted for facilitating adjustability of operative apparatuses
Embodiments of the disclosures made herein are directed to facilitating adjustability of operative apparatuses. More specifically, embodiments of the disclosures made herein are directed to mitigating adverse implications of having to adjust a control portion of an operative apparatus to a user-defined setting that is not otherwise a predefined setting position of the control portion. Such adverse implications may arise, for example, due to the time required for performing such adjustment with a required degree of precision. Thereby, such embodiments serve to mitigate, if not eliminate, that manner in which adjusting the control portion of the operative apparatus to the user-defined setting during a procedure can undesirably and/or unacceptably limit efficiency and/or effectiveness of the procedure.
