A collision prevention system for a surgical suite includes a supply unit adjustable along a movement path from an initial position to a subsequent position within the surgical suite. A sensor is operably coupled to the supply unit. The sensor is configured to sense an object proximate to the supply unit. A controller is communicatively coupled with the sensor. The controller monitors the object sensed by the sensor. An alert device is communicatively coupled with the controller. The alert device provides a notification when the object is sensed within the movement path and provides a prevention indicator corresponding to an alternate path.

Various embodiments concern locking release mechanisms that allow an articulated support arm to be moved between various vertical orientations. A locking release mechanism may include a handle release mechanism positioned within the handle of the articulated support arm, and a gas spring release mechanism positioned within the body of the articulated support arm. The articulated support arm can include a gas spring that remains locked until the handle release mechanism is activated, e.g. by applying pressure to a grip actuator. Other embodiments concern cable management techniques for articulated support arms. Oftentimes, an articulated support arm will include cables routed through the arm that are configured to support an attachment. For example, the cable(s) may be adapted for audio signals, video signals, power, etc. The cable(s) can be readily cleaned and/or serviced when routed through an articulated support arm composed of one or more removable pieces.

A power transfer system comprises a patient support apparatus and a power transfer device. The power transfer system provides convenience and ease of connection between a power source and the patient support apparatus to provide power to one or more electrically powered devices on the patient support apparatus or to provide energy for an energy storage device on the patient support apparatus.

A supply system (1a) includes a basic body (2) and at least one supply port (3 through 8), which is flush-mounted in the basic body (2) and provides a supply medium. The basic body (2) extends along a longitudinal axis and includes a plurality of outer wall sections (9 through 12) and at least one connection section (13 through 16). The connection section or each connection section (13 through 16) mechanically connects to one another two outer wall sections (9 through 12), which are adjacent to one another. At least one connection section (13 through 16) has at least one undercut (17 through 24). The undercut or each undercut (17 through 24) has the form of a channel or flute or groove or sectional rail and extends along the longitudinal axis of the basic body (2).

A pre-fabricated universal operating room ceiling system including red iron steel support frames and a track assembly immediately above the ceiling in the interstitial space of the operating room for supporting medical equipment including medical gas lines and electrical and data cabling and heating, ventilation and cooling trunk lines and ducts for reducing interference with such systems when installing or moving operating room equipment.

A medical device support system including a shaft, an extension arm, and a free rotating ring. The shaft includes an elongated peripheral cavity that defines first and second contact faces at opposite peripheral ends. A hub of the extension arm is pivotably mounted for a range of at least 360 degrees rotation about a rotation axis of the shaft. The at least 360 degrees rotation range is based on a compound of a first rotation range and a second rotation range. The first rotation range is defined by a fixed stop of the hub configured to move between first and second contact faces of a radially outward protruding member of the free rotating ring. The second rotation range is defined by a radially inward protruding member of the free rotating ring configured to move between the first and second contact faces of the elongated peripheral cavity of the shaft.

A medical device support system including a shaft, an extension arm, and a hub mounted to the shaft for pivotable movement of the extension arm about a rotation axis of the shaft. The hub includes a cavity including first and second contact faces, and at least one floating stop movably disposed in the cavity. The hub is pivotably mounted for a range of at least 360-degrees rotation about the rotation axis. The at least 360-degrees rotation range is based on a compound of a first rotation range and a second rotation range. The first rotation range is defined by a first movable amount of the at least one floating stop between first and second stop surfaces fixed relative to the shaft. The second rotation range is defined by a second movable amount of the at least one floating stop between the first and second contact faces of the hub.

A medical device support system including a shaft, extension arm, and floating stop. A guide channel member is fixed to the shaft and includes an elongated cavity that defines first and second contact faces at its opposite ends. A hub of the extension arm is pivotably mounted for a range of at least 360 degrees rotation about a rotation axis of the shaft. The at least 360 degrees rotation range is based on a compound of a first rotation range and a second rotation range. The first rotation range is defined by a fixed stop of the hub configured to move between first and second contact faces of a radially outer portion of the floating stop. The second rotation range is defined by a radially inner portion of the floating stop configured to move between the first and second contact faces of the elongated cavity of the guide channel member.

A mounting system includes a frame that defines a truss structure and a plurality of mounting locations within the truss structure. The plurality of mounting locations are configured to interchangeably couple to one or more members, including one or more of an access panel, a light troffer or a boom mount.
