A drainage tubing management device is provided. The drainage tubing management device generally comprises a body including a planar field, and having plural pairs of spaced-apart protrusions extending from said field, each pair of protrusions sized to accept flexible drainage tubing therebetween, wherein pairs of the protrusions are arranged in at least first and second rows such that drainage tubing may be retained with respect to said body along the first and second rows, at least one aperture in said body, and a securement mechanism comprising one or more of (a) a post having a longitudinal axis, said post being insertable through within said aperture and having a terminal flange occluding passage of said post through said aperture, said post being sufficiently rigid to support said body and (b) a flexible hanging strap insertable through said aperture and having a terminal flange occluding passage of said strap through said aperture.

An air delivery system for providing a supply of air from a source of air at positive pressure to an interfacing structure located at the entrance to the airways of a patient includes a manifold adapted to connect with the supply of positive air pressure and at least one tube connected to the manifold and adapted to deliver the supply of air to the interfacing structure. Each tube is structured to allow movement between an open phase in which the tube allows the passage of air and a collapsed phase in which the tube is collapsed. Each tube is structured such that weight of a typical patient's head against bedding apparel is sufficient to collapse the tube from the open phase to the collapsed phase.

A device can be used for delivering a dose of a vaccine, medicine, medication, drug, or prescription. For example, this document describes a wearable vaccination device that plays an audible sound or musical tune for distracting or entertaining the patient while an intradermal vaccine is delivered via the patient's skin. The control portion of the wearable vaccination device includes a processing unit, a rhythm producer that produces audible sounds to distract or entertain the patient, and an injection module that provides an intradermal injection using one or more microneedles.

A system for applying a lavage fluid to a surface, the system having a body configured to house a lavage fluid and at least two interchangeable application members configured to be in fluid communication with the body, wherein the at least two interchangeable application members includes a first application member and a second application member, the first application member being configured to dispense the lavage fluid with a first fluid flow force and/or first fluid flow pattern, and the second application member being configured to dispense the lavage fluid with a second fluid flow force and/or second fluid flow pattern that is different from the first fluid flow force and/or fluid flow pattern, respectively.

A system for applying a lavage fluid to a surface, the system having a body configured to house a lavage fluid and an application member in fluid communication with the body, wherein the application member has at least one nozzle, wherein the system is configured to dispense the lavage fluid with a first fluid flow force and a first fluid flow pattern, and wherein the nozzle is configured to selectably dispense the lavage fluid with a second fluid flow force and/or a second fluid flow pattern, wherein the second fluid flow force that is different from the first fluid flow force and the second fluid flow pattern is different from the first fluid flow pattern.

The present invention relates to a heating device for one or more components of an extracorporeal circuit of a blood treatment device, in particular of a dialyzer, an adsorber or a filter, wherein the heating device has at least one reception region for the named component and at least one heating element for heating the component located in the receiver, wherein the heating device has a plurality of layers, with at least one layer being a flexible layer or elastically deformable layer.

The present invention teaches apparatuses, systems and methods for performing a variety of medical procedures, including those involving introducing one or more substances into a subject's body. In some embodiments, the invention teaches automatically performing guided injections into a tissue site (e.g. spinal cord) of a subject by using one or more electronically operated components including a cannula, a syringe pump, and a stereotactic device.

A method for discharging fluid from a syringe and for mitigating occlusion conditions includes actuating the plunger of a syringe into a barrel. The method monitors fluid pressure within the barrel of the syringe and determines that an occlusion exists when the fluid pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold. The method actuates the plunger out of the barrel by a predetermined amount in response to the detected occlusion and actuates the plunger of the syringe into the barrel until a measured fluid pressure within the barrel of the syringe exceeds another predetermined threshold.

A suspension device for a drainage container has, on a first side, a first fastening unit for mounting and fastening the drainage container on the suspension device. On a second side, a second fastening unit is present for mounting and fastening the suspension device on a rail. The first fastening unit is arranged in a first fastening part, and the second fastening unit is arranged in a second fastening part. The suspension device further comprises a weighing part with a weighing element, wherein the weighing part is connected or can be connected to the first fastening part and to the second fastening part so as to measure, with the weighing element, a relative displacement, such that a filling quantity of the aspirated body fluid in the drainage container can be determined.

A system for capture of dose delivery information is provided. The system includes a medication delivery device, a dose information capture device adapted to he attached to the medication delivery device, and a target element adapted to be attached to the medication delivery device. The target element comprises a magnet or ferrous element and the target element attaches to the medication delivery device on a dose delivery mechanism of the medication delivery device. The dose information capture device includes a magnetic position sensor adapted to detect a position of the target element. As an alternative to magnetic sensing, MEMS flow sensors, and the like may also be used. Exemplary systems preferably transmit dose information in real time to remote devices for further processing,
