NASAL CANNULA AND SECUREMENT SYSTEM
A patient interface assembly has a patient interface and a securement system for the patient interface and/or patient interface tubing. The patient interface has a body and at least one nasal prong extending from the body. The at least one nasal prong has a gas inlet for fluid communication with a supply of breathable gas, and a gas outlet configured to direct a flow of gas towards a nare of the user's nose. The at least one nasal prong further includes an exterior surface, at least a portion of the exterior surface is a sealing surface configured to seal the nare of the user's nose. The securement system has a two-part releasable attachment or connection arrangement, the arrangement comprising a first patch and a second patch.
Baby Monitor System Sound and Light Delivery Based on Vitals
A baby monitor system comprises: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: obtain a sleep schedule of a baby; obtain vitals of the baby, wherein the vitals are based on pulse oximetry, Doppler monitoring, or temperature sensing; and cause a first sound or a first light to emit in response to the sleep schedule and the vitals. A method comprises: obtaining a sleep schedule of a baby; obtaining vitals of the baby, wherein the vitals are based on pulse oximetry; and causing a first sound or a first light to emit in response to the sleep schedule and the vitals.
PERITONEAL DIALYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD HAVING INTRAPERITONEAL PRESSURE SENSING
A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system includes a housing; a dialysis fluid pump housed by the housing; a dual lumen patient line extending from the housing; a filter set including a final stage filter located along a first line, and which includes a second line in parallel with the first line, the first line in fluid communication with a first lumen of the dual lumen patient line, and the second line in fluid communication with a second lumen of the dual lumen patient line; a pressure sensor located within the housing and positioned so as to sense a static or substantially static PD fluid pressure in the second lumen while fresh PD fluid is pumped through the first lumen and the final stage filter; and a control unit configured to use the sensed static or substantially static pressure in a pressure control routine for the dialysis fluid pump.
Wall-Mounted Back Care Apparatus
A wall-mounted back care apparatus for handsfree washing, lotion application, and scratching includes a pair of mounting brackets. Each mounting bracket has a mounting plate and a receiver coupled to the mounting plate. The mounting plate is mounted to a wall of a shower or a bathroom. A mounting rod is coupled to the pair of mounting brackets and is selectively engageable within the receiver of each mounting bracket. A backboard is coupled to the mounting rod. The backboard has a concave front face and a convex rear face. A cover is coupled to the backboard. The cover is selectively engageable with the backboard to be continuously disposed over the front face of the backboard. The cover exfoliates skin, applies soap or lotion, or scratches an itch.
Line Holder
A line mount includes a treatment machine having a housing and one or more magnets or ferromagnetic elements mounted thereon, a line holder having at least one complementary one of magnets and ferromagnetic elements such as to cause the line holder to be attachable magnetically to the housing. The one or more magnets or ferromagnetic elements being numbered and arranged to permit the line holder to be supported thereby in multiple positions and orientations relative to the housing.
Systems and Methods for Generating Nitric Oxide
Systems and methods for generating nitric oxide are disclosed. A nitic oxide (NO) generation system includes at least one pair of electrodes configured to generate a product gas containing NO from a flow of a reactant gas; and a controller configured to regulate the amount of nitric oxide in the product gas produced by the at least one pair of electrodes by utilizing duty cycle values of plasma pulses selected from a plurality of discrete duty cycles to produce a target rate of NO production based on an average of discrete production rates associated with each of the plurality of discrete duty cycles.
Blood treatment systems and related components and methods
This disclosure relates to a blood treatment system including a blood treatment machine, a dialyzer configured to be coupled to the blood treatment machine, a blood line having a first end configured to be connected to the dialyzer and a second end configured to be connected to a needle for insertion into a patient, and one or more sensors operable to transmit, to the blood treatment machine, data related to tension along the blood line. The blood treatment machine is configured to take action in response to the data received from the one or more sensors.
Sleep Tracking Method and Device
Systems and techniques for enhanced sleep tracking, monitoring, and conditioning are discussed herein. A device may be couplable to, or integrally formed with, a piece of furniture (a “nearable”) receives sensor data from one or more sensors accessible to the device and, based on a determined stage of sleep, may actuate one or more devices for conditioning sleep. In some examples, the nearable may be configured to receive a smartphone such that one or more processors and sensors of the smartphone may be used to perform at least some of the processes. When configured to receive a smartphone, the nearable's cavity may retain the smartphone via a spring mechanism to create an additional button for user interaction, as well as be shaped to minimize an amount of electromagnetic radiation (including light emitted from a screen) of the smartphone, while optimizing sounds output from the smartphone.
Systems and Methods for Ambulatory Generation of Nitric Oxide
Systems and methods are provided for portable and compact nitric oxide (NO) generation that can be embedded into other therapeutic devices or used alone. In some embodiments, an ambulatory NO generation system can be comprised of a controller and disposable cartridge. The cartridge can contain filters and scavengers for preparing the gas used for NO generation and for scrubbing output gases prior to patient inhalation. The system can utilize an oxygen concentrator to increase nitric oxide production and compliment oxygen generator activity as an independent device. The system can also include a high voltage electrode assembly that is easily assembled and installed. Various nitric oxide delivery methods are provided, including the use of a nasal cannula.
Medicament container holder for a medicament delivery device and method of assembling a medicament delivery device
A medicament container holder for a medicament delivery device is presented having a C-shaped tubular body having a longitudinal gap extending along the entire axial extension of the C-shaped tubular body, which C-shaped tubular body is configured to be placed around a medicament container, wherein the C-shaped tubular body has a first axial end provided with an end flange extending radially inwards and configured to bear against a neck of a medicament container, and wherein the first axial end is provided with a lip extending proximally from the end flange.
