An external end device has a casing (4), a fitting (15) housed in the casing (4) and having at least one distal part (16) which engages a catheter (3), and two proximal tracts (17, 17), in which a pair of curved pipes (18, 18) are inserted with a distal end (180) thereof. The curved pipes (18, 18) have a proximal end (181), in which a pair of nozzles (190, 190) are inserted. Inside each nozzle (190) there is a cap (20) suitable for hermetically sealing the nozzle (190). A piercing and connecting conduit (24) is adapted to reversibly pierce the cap (20) and to connect the pair of nozzles (190, 190) to the flow lines of the treatment equipment. Also disclosed is a method of connecting the external terminal device to flow lines of a machine.

A connector (140) is provided with a holding component (141), a support component (148), a terminal (144) electrically connected to a contact of a guide wire (130) held by the holding component (141), and a guide component (147) rotatable around an axial line (130A) of the guide wire (130) with respect to the support component (148). The holding component (141) is provided with a body (150) having an insertion hole (150a) for the guide wire (130) and a holding piece (151) extending along an axial line of the insertion hole (150a) from the body (150) and capable of being elastically deformed inward in a radial direction with respect to the axial line. The guide component (147) has a guide surface (165a) guiding the holding piece (151) inward in the radial direction. The holding component (141) is slid along the axis line of the insertion hole (150a) with respect to the guide component (147), whereby the holding piece abuts on the guide surface (165a) to be elastically deformed inward in the radial direction.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described herein for a communication bus that virtualizes physiological data. Sensors and/or physiological data acquisition devices have different physical connectors which provide physiological data from a patient to a shared interface such as a display or patient monitor. A transfer interface within a mount can receive and interpret data streams associated with one or more physiological data acquisition devices. The transfer interface can prioritize the various data streams associated with the one or more physiological data acquisition devices and generate a single, combined data stream based on the assigned prioritization. The transfer interface can provide the combined data stream for transmission to a patient monitor via an interchangeable transport medium. Another transfer interface can process and/or virtualize the data streams from the physiological data acquisition devices.

There is provided a patient's cranial position monitoring and controlling device for controlling a magnetic resonance (MR) guided radiation source module via an MR-guided radiation controlling device connected to the patient's cranial position monitoring and controlling device and an MR-guided radiation system including a patient's cranial position monitoring and controlling device, which allows for better MR-imaging while allowing patient position monitoring close to the patient.

Example headsets and electrodes are described herein. Example electrode units described herein include a housing having a cavity defined by an opening in a side of the housing and an electrode. In some such examples, the electrode includes a ring disposed in the opening and an arm, where the arm has a first portion extending outward from the opening away from the housing and a second portion extending from an end of the first portion toward the housing and into the cavity, and the first and second portions connect at a bend.

A biomedical electrode according to the present invention includes: a plate-shaped support portion; an elastic pillar portion that is provided on a first surface of the plate-shaped support portion; and a conductive resin layer that is formed to cover a distal end of the elastic pillar portion, in which when measured at 37° C. according to JIS K 6253 (1997), a type A durometer hardness of a surface of the elastic pillar portion is higher than 35 and 65 or lower.

A blood pressure monitor configured to removably mount to a cuff in a substantially symmetrical position with respect to a width of the cuff can include a housing defining an interior, a first port, and a second port. The first port can: secure to a first prong of the cuff when the cuff is mounted in a first orientation; receive and secure to a second prong of the cuff when the cuff is mounted in a second orientation; and enable fluid communication between the interior and at least one of a first fluid passage within the first prong and a second fluid passage within the second prong. The second port can: secure to the second prong of the cuff when the cuff is mounted in the first orientation; and receive and secure to the first prong of the cuff when the cuff is mounted in the second orientation.

Embodiments of the invention provide a hollow cable for conveying radiofrequency and/or microwave frequency energy to an electrosurgical instrument that can fit within, e.g. slide relative to, the hollow cable. The hollow cable provides a bipolar electrical connection to the electrosurgical instrument that is maintained when the electrosurgical instrument is rotated relative to the hollow cable. The cable may comprise a hollow coaxial transmission line having a rotatable component mounted at its distal end. The rotatable component comprises a longitudinal passageway continuous with the hollow coaxial transmission line. The rotatable component is rotatable relative to the transmission line and comprises a first and second conductive portions that are respectively electrically connected to first and second terminals on the coaxial transmission line and which are configured to maintain an electrical connection with their respective terminal when rotated relative to the coaxial transmission line.

Techniques are disclosed for adjusting a transmission frequency of a physiological monitoring unit, which includes a capture unit and a receiver unit. The capture unit and the receiver unit are wirelessly connected together and are configured to exchange data on the transmission frequency by means of a programming unit.

A brush electrode includes an electrode base that is connectable to an external device that is configured to generate an electrical signal or receive an electrical signal. A plurality of strand electrodes extend outward from the electrode base. A distal end of each strand electrode is configured to contact a skin surface. The strand electrodes are configured to hold an electrolyte to facilitate ionic conduction of the electrical signal to or from the skin surface.
