A medication delivery system including a holding chamber having an input and an output end, a backpiece coupled to the input end of the holding chamber and having an electrical circuit and an opening. An MDI includes an insert portion moveable between an engaged position wherein the insert portion is received in the opening and a disengaged position wherein the insert portion is removed from the opening, and at least one contact that completes the electrical circuit when the insert portion is in the engaged position.

A wound therapy system includes a negative pressure circuit configured to apply negative pressure to a wound, a pump fluidly coupled to the negative pressure circuit and operable to control the negative pressure within the negative pressure circuit, a pressure sensor configured to measure the negative pressure within the negative pressure circuit or at the wound and a controller communicably coupled to the pump and the pressure sensor. The controller is configured to execute a pressure testing procedure including applying a pressure stimulus to the negative pressure circuit, observe a dynamic pressure response of the negative pressure circuit to the pressure stimulus using pressure measurements recorded by the pressure sensor, and estimate a wound volume of the wound based on the dynamic pressure response.

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for gas delivery for personal medical consumption having safety features. A hydrogen or oxygen gas delivery system herein can include electrolytic cores performing electrolysis-based reactions, and obtain free hydrogen (H2) gas for collection and delivery to a user. In aspects, the electrolytic core(s) can be scaled to produce a sufficient amount of hydrogen (H2) or oxygen (O2) gas so that the user can ingest that gas directly, without a need for storage. The system can be portable, and configured with a delivery tube for transmitting hydrogen or oxygen gas to a user. While safety risks are generally minimal, the system can be configured with sensors to detect fault conditions or hazards such as combustion or overpressure, which can only be caused by deliberate user action to expose gaseous products to flame or spark, and even then would not be likely to trigger violent combustion.

Methods, device, and systems for preparing peritoneal dialysis fluid and/or administering a peritoneal dialysis treatment are disclosed. In embodiments, peritoneal dialysis fluid is prepared at a point of use automatically using a daily sterile disposable fluid circuit and one or more long-term concentrate containers that are changed only after multiple days (e.g. weekly). The daily disposable may have concentrate containers that are initially empty and are filled from the long-term concentrate containers once per day at the beginning of a treatment.

A renal failure therapy system having an electrically floating fluid pathway is disclosed. The example system includes a dialyzer, a blood circuit in fluid communication with the dialyzer, and a dialysis fluid circuit in fluid communication with the dialyzer. The system also includes an electrically floating fluid pathway comprising at least a portion of the blood circuit and at least a portion of the dialysis fluid circuit. The only electrical path to ground is via used dialysis fluid traveling through the renal failure therapy system to earth ground. The disclosed system enables at least one electrical component in the at least a portion of the dialysis fluid circuit of the electrically floating fluid pathway to be electrically bypassed.

An infusion pump system is disclosed. The infusion pump system includes an infusion pump and a controller device in wireless communication with the infusion pump, wherein the controller including instructions for controlling the infusion pump, wherein the instructions may be synchronized with a secure web portal.

Various embodiments are directed to a method for operating a blower so as to generate an at least substantially consistent output flowrate comprising programmatically determining an optimized motor speed based at least in part on blower motor data and a blower characterization curve, wherein the blower characterization curve defines a correlation between motor speed and motor voltage of a blower motor configured to generate a desired respirator output flowrate; and programmatically adjusting a motor voltage based at least in part on a comparison of measured motor speed data to the optimized motor speed, wherein the blower characterization curve is defined by one or more blower characterization equations derived based at least in part on a plurality of motor output calibration points. Various embodiments are directed to a respirator apparatus configured to generate an at least substantially consistent respirator output airflow.

A method of predicting an adverse event in a patient having an implantable blood pump including correlating a pulsatility value to a flow trough value associated with the blood pump to determine a flow peak value; dividing the determined flow peak value by a pump current to determine a pulsatility peak value; tracking a first moving average of the pulsatility peak value, the first moving average defining a threshold range; tracking a second moving average of the pulsatility peak value, the second moving average being faster than the first moving average; and generating an alert when the second moving average deviates from the threshold range.

A system, device, and autologous method for treating blood. Blood is extracted from a patient. The blood is tested to determine one or more pathogens and conditions of the blood. One or more catalysts are automatically added into the blood of the patient. The one or more catalysts are activated utilizing the one or more emitters configured to interact with the one or more catalysts in the blood create treated blood. One or more additives are added into the threated blood. The treated blood is reinjected into the patient.
