Other embodiments are disclosed.

An apparatus for treating a urinary retention of a patient by discharging urine from a mammal urinary bladder through a mammal urethra. The apparatus comprises an expandable member adapted to be implanted inside the urinary bladder of the patient, a control device adapted to control the volume of the expandable member for emptying the mammal urinary bladder, and an implantable restriction devices adapted to close each ureter of a patient when discharging urine from the urinary bladder.

A motion pillow according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a body, a motion system, a connector, and a valve. The body includes a plurality of airbags provided therein. The motion system includes a pump allowing air to enter and exit the airbags, a sensor measuring air pressures of the airbags, a sound receiver receiving sound from around the body, and a controller controlling operating mode in accordance with measurements of the sensor. The connector connects the airbags and the motion system. The valve opens and closes the connector. When at least one airbag among the plurality of airbags is pressed and air is introduced to the sensor through the connector, the controller is configured to switch the operating mode from standby mode to active mode. Significantly improved convenience and satisfaction of sleep are provided to users.

A fill adapter system for an infusion pump assembly. The system includes a reusable fill adapter base, the base including a volume control mechanism to adjust an available fill volume of a reservoir of the infusion pump assembly and a pump mechanism configured to pump air into a fluid vial. The system also includes a vial adapter assembly including a first needle configured to penetrate a septum of the fluid vial for fluidly coupling the pump mechanism to the fluid vial and a second needle having a first end configured to penetrate the septum of the fluid vial and a second end configured to penetrate a septum of the reservoir of the infusion pump assembly to allow transfer of fluid from the fluid vial to the reservoir of the infusion pump assembly in response to air being pumped into the fluid vial and a needle carriage adapted to carry the first needle and the second needle, wherein the needle carriage slidably attached to the interior of the vial adapter assembly, wherein the needle carriage adapted to slide from a vial end of the vial adapter to a receptacle end of the vial adapter.

An aspiration and irrigation ultraportable device is disclosed. The device is configured to aspirate and irrigate alone or sequentially. The device comprises a digitally adjustable dry/wet vacuum and a spray/irrigator assembly that is powered by rechargeable batteries. The device has at least one easily disposable and cleanable aspirant/irrigant reservoir. The present invention relates to the field of medicine specially related to outpatient and in-home settings of aspiration and irrigation of nose, ear, open wounds, and other body fluids.

A drug delivery device for administering a drug is presented having a body, at least one electrical unit and a port for electrically contacting the electrical unit, an adapter for attaching an injection needle to the drug delivery device, a safety mechanism arranged to prevent contacting the electrical unit whilst an injection needle is in fluid communication with the drug delivery device and arranged to prevent establishing a fluid communication whilst the electrical unit is contactable.

A wearable infusion pump assembly includes a reusable housing assembly, and a disposable housing assembly including a reservoir for receiving an infusible fluid. The wearable infusion pump assembly also includes a releasable engagement assembly configured to allow the reusable housing assembly to releasably engage the disposable housing assembly. A switch assembly of the wearable infusion pump assembly is configured to effectuate a functionality of the infusion pump assembly.

A check valve can include a pressure actuator or an electromagnetic actuator. The check valve includes a valve inlet, a valve outlet, and flap disposed between the valve inlet and the valve outlet. The pressure actuator in fluid communication with the valve inlet. The check valve has an open state and a closed state. The check valve is configured to allow an input gas to flow from the valve inlet to the valve outlet when the check valve is in the open state. The check valve is configured to preclude the input gas from flowing from the valve inlet to the valve outlet when the check valve is in the closed state. Upon actuation of the pressure actuator or the electromagnetic actuator, the flap moves away from the valve inlet to allow the inlet gas to move from the valve inlet to the valve outlet.

A dynamic output power management unit for a heating circuit of an electronic smoking device includes a heating element connected to a power source via a first switching element. The unit has at least one voltage detection device to detect voltage values at various points of the heating circuit. A controller is configured to derive a resistance of the heating element, and estimate a discharge time or a power consumption value of the power source such that an energy converted in a period of time is substantially identical to a predetermined energy conversion value for a same period of time.
