The present disclosure provides a coupling system for coupling a medical accessory to an accessory support is provided. The present disclosure also provides a system for powering a medical accessory with an accessory support.

Examples of a module for housing unrelated electronic and electromechanical equipment for use during surgery. The module can include a lower section and a tower-like upper section. The lower section can house unrelated electronic and electromechanical equipment. The tower-like upper section can be located on top of the lower section. A water-resistant cowling can enclose at least a portion of the lower section and the tower-like upper section. A cartridge containing one or more ultraviolet-C producing lights can be protectively housed within the tower-like upper section. The cartridge containing one or more ultraviolet-C producing lights can be configured to emerge upward from a top of the tower-like upper section to substantially seat itself on the top of the tower-like upper section when activated allowing the ultraviolet-C light to disinfect the patient and staff-contacting upper surfaces of the equipment in the operating room.

A ventilator (100), includes a basic unit (1) with a cover plate (10). Patient ports (4) are arranged at the basic unit (1) and a user interface (2) is arranged at the cover plate (10). The cover plate (10) can be arranged at the basic unit (1) at different angles in relation to a vertical axis

Disclosed herein is an equipment caddy for demountable engagement with a rolling stand. The caddy comprises a hub defining an opening for receiving a vertically oriented pole of the stand and a housing defining a compartment that is distal to the hub and configured to demountably engage with a piece of equipment. One embodiment relates to a medical equipment caddy for demountable engagement with a rolling IV stand wherein the housing is configured to demountably engage with a piece of medical equipment. The caddy of the present disclosure is durable, easy to clean and disinfect, and inexpensive to produce. The caddy of the present disclosure provides means for transporting additional medical equipment upon a conventional IV stand in a simple and organized manner.

A medical workstation mounting apparatus comprises an elongate body with front and rear faces and configured for attachment to a shelf of a medical workstation. The apparatus has a length, a depth, and a thickness which is the distance between the front and rear faces. A plurality of accessory receivers extend from the body. Each receiver comprises a pair of arms with a channel between them configured to receive a hook of an accessory. The maximum thickness of the apparatus is less than its maximum depth to ensure a slim profile and compact shape.

A medical platform is disclosed that can fulfill numerous functional and practical needs of patients and caregivers in a single, simple assembly. The medical platform disclosed herein can replace many of the different medical apparatuses used in a healthcare facility. The combination of features as disclosed herein can permit the medical platform to facilitate patient mobility by combining multiple commonly-used and/or required apparatuses into a single, mobile platform.

An overhead arm assembly for a patient support apparatus includes a user interface device. The user interface device has a support structure for supporting a personal digital assistant and a charging port for personal digital assistant.

A method using a specially configured computer display support structure reduces occurrences of medical errors by facilitating real-time, synchronous review of medical data by rounding professionals during patient rounds. The support structure includes an upright column assembly that has a column assembly base and six sides. Mounting brackets fixed to non-contiguous sides of the column assembly receive back plates of a system device mounting assembly, each of which includes a pivot arm that receives a system device arm. The system device arm is pivotable at opposing ends and terminates in a coupling member at its distal end. The coupling member is connected to a video display that has an angularly positionable display screen. In some embodiments, a keyboard tray, on which a keyboard and computer mouse rest, is connected to the coupling member.
