A support system is disclosed that includes a holding structure, a clamp assembly, and a device coupled to the frame of the clamp assembly. The holding structure includes a top portion, a base portion and an intermediate rod portion. The clamp assembly clamps to the intermediate rod portion of the holding structure. The clamp assembly includes a frame, a latch, one or more gear plates, one or more handles, and one or more bias members.

Systems and methods for determining the position of a fluid within a fluid source and infusion line coupled to an infusion flow control device are described herein. An exemplary system and method includes sampling fluid pressure upstream of an infusion pump, and calculating fluid pressure slope profiles. By sampling fluid pressure upstream of an infusion pump at discrete intervals and monitoring fluid pressure slope profiles, conditions of fluid flow, including unintentional fluid flow through an infusion line or a defective check valve in an infusion line, are detected, and fluid flow through an infusion pump is controlled.

A check valve includes a housing that includes an inlet port, an outlet port, and a valve chamber. The inlet port extends from a ceiling of the valve chamber to an outer surface of the housing. The outlet port extends from a floor of the valve chamber to the outer surface of the housing. The check valve further includes a valve member supported within the chamber. The valve includes a valve head. When an upstream pressure is applied to the valve, the valve head is configured to deflect away from the ceiling of the valve chamber and unseal the inlet port. When a downstream pressure is applied to the valve, the valve head is configured to deflect away from the floor of the valve chamber and seal the inlet port such that the valve head conforms to a shape of the ceiling of the valve chamber.

An automated dose-response record system including a module for housing waste-heat producing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including at least one physiologic monitor, and including a system to measure, temporally correlate and record dose and response events.

IV filters are described herein. An IV filter includes a filter housing, a filter media, a filter channel, a priming channel, and a disk valve. The filter housing defines an inlet and an outlet. The filter media is disposed within the filter housing. The filter channel is disposed within the filter housing. The filter channel is in fluid communication with the inlet and the filter media, and the filter media permits flow from the filter channel to the outlet and captures particulate from the flow. The priming channel is disposed within the filter housing. The priming channel is in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. The disk valve is coupled to the filter housing. The disk valve is moveable to direct flow from the inlet to the priming channel in a first position and to direct flow from the inlet to the filter channel in a second position.

A clamp apparatus is disclosed that includes a body, first and second actuators, first, second, third and fourth gear sets, first and second movable grippers, and at least one leaf spring. The first gear set is coupled to the first actuator and the second gear set is coupled to the second actuator. The first gear set engages the second gear set. The first and second movable grippers are each operatively coupled to the body. The third gear set is coupled to the first movable gripper and the fourth gear set is coupled to the second movable gripper. The third gear set operatively engages the fourth gear set. The leaf spring engages with the third gear set and the fourth gear set to urge the first movable gripper and the second movable gripper toward a clamped position.

Module for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a portable digital camera and processing circuitry with machine vision and machine learning software for automatically documenting healthcare events and healthcare equipment operations in the electronic health record.

A handle configured to be mounted on a pole (e.g., of an IV stand). The handle includes a handle grip having first and second ends with a central section therebetween. The central section is lower than the first and second ends. The handle grip is configured to be gripped by a user at a location between the central section and one of the first and second ends. The handle grip may include first and second sections that each extend upwardly from a central section. The first section is configured to be gripped at a natural grip angle by the user's a right hand and the second section is configured to be gripped at the natural grip angle by the user's a left hand. The handle may include a connector portion configured to be mounted to the pole and connected to the handle grip.

The stand is attached to a wheeled frame by a cylindrical post received in a frame receiver attached to the frame and a rectangular beam is received in a tapered slot in the receiver and extends horizontally from the cylindrical post. The beam terminates at the end opposite the frame receiver in a vertical post.

An automated dose-response record system including a module for housing waste-heat producing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including at least one physiologic monitor, and including a system to measure, temporally correlate and record dose and response events.
