11439558 · 2022-09-13 · ·

Described herein are components, systems, and methods of use of an integrated sterilization system comprising a pass-through logistics cabinet, an ozone sterilization system, a floor sterilization robot, and systems for controlling such components. An integrated operating room sterilization system will allow mitigation or elimination of risks (e.g., infrastructural risks (e.g., OI risks), procedural risks (e.g., risk of infection and contamination) that are associated with a setting in a healthcare environment. The elimination of clutter, control of major components under a unified and intuitive user interface, and the logical elimination of potential accumulated risk events (e.g., OI risks) and procedural risks are deliberately addressed, in whole or in part, by the present disclosure. The present disclosure describes the following: a pass-through logistics cabinet, an ozone sterilization system, a floor sterilization robot, and systems for controlling such components.

Integrated operating room lighting and patient warming system—design and components
11389361 · 2022-07-19 ·

An integrated and modular air and lighting plenum that is the primary directional lighting mounting apparatus and laminar flow diffuser of an HVAC system in a healthcare setting. The plenum provides laminar air flow from the ceiling to the room in which it is located in accordance with HVAC requirements for healthcare environment settings, by using a plurality of cylindrical airflow outlets. The use of cylindrical airflow outlets promotes laminar airflow by reducing sharp boundaries that induce turbulence (e.g., the corners of rectangular or square outlets) and creates a highly sterile environment around the patient and staff in the operating room. The surgical lights used in the integrated air and lighting plenum allow the beam direction, spot size, focal point, brightness, and color temperature of the emitted light to be controlled.

Surgical draping system and method

A surgical drape includes a seal connectable with a selected surface of a body disposed with a surgical table. A draping is connected with the seal and a track of the surgical table. The draping is movable relative to the seal to define a sterile region about the body. Surgical instruments, systems and methods are disclosed.

Self-contained negative pressure environment device and system

A system configured to create a self-contained negative pressure environment (SCONE) to remove airborne particulates emitted from a patient. The system prevents exposure to pathogenic biological airborne particulates during triage, transportation, and treatment, including aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) and end of life care. This system is directed to a collapsible device having a flexible cover covering two support members, with openings in the flexible cover such that medical professionals can reach in and operate within. The present invention is further adaptable to patients and operating environments of various sizes.

RELOCATION MODULE AND METHODS FOR SURGICAL EQUIPMENT

An anesthetic equipment storage and waste air management module configured to housing electronic and electromechanical surgical equipment including a system to measure and record administration of one or more IV medications or fluids for IV administration. The module can include a housing having a lower section and a tower-like upper section, wherein the lower section is configured to house unrelated waste heat-producing electronic and electromechanical surgical equipment. The module can also include a cowling that substantially confines waste heat generated by the unrelated waste heat-producing electronic and electromechanical surgical equipment, and can include a system for measuring and recording the administration of the one or more IV medications and fluids.

Relocation module and methods for surgical equipment

Modules for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a system to measure and record administration of one or more IV medications or fluids for IV administration. A system and method for fusing independent measures of the physiological parameters, in some examples using a Kalman filter for each possible combination of sensor measurements.
