The invention discloses a decontamination device for decontaminating inhaled and/or exhaled gases in a ventilator. The decontamination device comprises a gas inlet and outlet for inspiratory and expiratory gas flow, and a chamber for gas flow. The chamber is configured to connect the gas inlet and outlet. The chamber comprises at least one ultraviolet (UV) light source integrate inside the chamber that preferably emits in the UVC range, wherein the UV light source is preferably a UVC light-emitting diode. The UV light source is configured to produce UV light to decontaminate contaminants in the inhaled and/or exhaled gases by minimizing the distance between the contaminants in the gas flow and the light source, maintaining the gas flow in a gas flow path long enough to deactivate the contaminants, increasing the intensity of the light source to optimize decontamination, and increasing turbulence to redirect the gas flow and prevent boundary layers and shadowing.

A chamber for placement over a patient while allowing medical personnel to perform various medical procedures releasing virus, bacteria, or other contaminants, such as tracheal intubation, on the patient, including a frame forming and supporting two sidewalls and a curved center portion extending between the sidewalls of a transparent body, wherein the body includes at least one access hole, and wherein the chamber surrounds the patient's head and one of the sidewalls deforms around the patient's body in order to capture and exhaust any of the virus, bacteria, or other contaminants released by the patient during the medical procedure. A method of using the chamber of to perform a medical procedure on a patient releasing virus, bacteria, or other contaminants.

A neck strap, a crown strap assembly and a headgear for a breathing mask. The neck strap for a headgear includes a one-piece main body adapted to engage a patient's neck, first and second lower connection portions adapted to connect to first and second lower mask connection straps, and first and second upper connection portions adapted to connect to respective first and second lateral crown straps.

A patient airway dome including an adjustable frame having a hinge such that the hinge allows the frame to adjust between an erected position to create an airway dome and a collapsed position that allows the frame to lay flat, a dome covering located over the retractable frame, a suction port which is connected to a conventional device in order to provide negative pressure to patient airway dome, and an arm access assembly operatively connected to the dome covering, wherein the arm access assembly includes an opening in the dome covering and a closure assembly located adjacent to the opening.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for reducing transmission of aerosol droplets in a medical or dental procedure are described. One protective shield system includes a base plate, a shield having at least one transparent section, and a pipe or conduit comprising a plurality of holes thereon. The shield is configured to be removably attached to the base plate to allow attachment of the shield to the base plate prior to the medical or dental procedure and removal of the shield from the base plate after the medical or dental procedure. The pipe or conduit is positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the shield and on at least part of a perimeter of the shield. The pipe includes an end that is configured to connect to a suction system to enable removal of the aerosolized particles from below the shield during the medical or dental procedure.

Systems, devices, and methods for isolating and protecting patients during medical imaging procedures. The devices generally related to disposable personal protective equipment (PPE) that may be used to isolate patients and prevent cross-contamination of infectious diseases during medical imaging.

An apparatus used to disinfect viruses/bacteria contaminated exhaust air from devices, such as ventilators, CPAP, APAP, VPAP auto, BiPAO, ECMO, and also devices for air filtration used in cars, buildings, ships, planes, etc. is disclosed in this document. A heat source is used to burn the contaminated air at elevated temperatures, such as 100° C., 500° C., 1,000° C., and/or even more, in a confined environment to inactivate/destroy viruses/bacteria carried in the air. The heat sources can be, but not limited to, electrical, gases, infrared, microwave, and Ultraviolet (UV). After disinfection, the exhaust air from the apparatus is then released to the ambient environment, or to the next chamber for further treatment.

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.

A protective helmet, such as an antivirus helmet with a viewing window completely encloses the user's head. The entire helmet is airtight except for an air inlet and air outlet on its side wall. In order to prevent the viewing window from fogging by the user's exhaled gas, the window is made of sandwich glass with central heater wire to warm the glass. The air needed for the user to breathe is supplied by an external high pressure air reservoir. The air undergoes a pressure reduction and cooling process. Such an antivirus helmet provides safe and comfortable air for medical staff to breathe during their work in an infectious disease ward.

A vacuum shield for use on an oxygen therapy mask comprising a semi-rigid shield having outer wall regions for covering the oxygen therapy mask and exhaust ports of the oxygen therapy mask allowing to be positioned on an oxygen therapy mask allowing to capture fluid present between the vacuum shield and the therapy oxygen mask.
