OSTOMY OUTPUT DIVERSION DEVICE
An ostomy output diversion device is used to cover and seal closely around a patient's stoma, to divert stoma effluent output through the device, into a container or reservoir, temporarily eliminating the need of an adhesive-based ostomy pouching system. The ostomy output diversion device is placed over the person's stoma, with the base ring surrounding the peristomal skin, the adjustable inner tube is retracted until the base ring is centered over the stoma, the body support strap is then placed over the device to secure it to the patient's body, the inner tube is then extended over the stoma, the patient applies the desired pressure against the skin, then secures the inner tube in place with the pressure adjustment lock. The device may also include an ostomy pouch mounting ring for attachment to an ostomy pouch, and a disposable receptacle.
Data collection schemes for a medical appliance and related methods
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a monitor device for an ostomy system. The monitor device comprises: a processor; memory; and a first interface connected to the processor and the memory. The first interface comprises a plurality of terminals and a data collector. The plurality of terminals includes a first terminal that forms an electrical connection with a first electrode of an ostomy appliance of the ostomy system and a second terminal that forms an electrical connection with a second electrode of the ostomy appliance. The data collector is coupled to the first and second terminals and comprises a data collection configured to collect data from the plurality of terminals according to a primary data collection scheme and collect data from the plurality of terminals according to a secondary data collection scheme. The primary data collection scheme is different from the secondary data collection scheme.
MONITOR DEVICE OF A MEDICAL SYSTEM HAVING A CONNECTOR FOR COUPLING TO BOTH A BASE PLATE AND AN ACCESSORY DEVICE
A monitor device for an ostomy system is disclosed. The monitor device comprises a first interface comprising a primary terminal and a secondary terminal. The primary terminal is configured to form electrical connection with a primary electrode of the base plate when the monitor device is coupled to the base plate, and the primary terminal being configured to form electrical connection with a primary charge terminal of the accessory device when the monitor device is coupled to the accessory device. The secondary terminal is configured to form electrical connection with a secondary electrode of the base plate when the monitor device is coupled to the base plate, and the secondary terminal being configured to form electrical connection with a secondary charge terminal of the accessory device when the monitor device is coupled to the accessory device.
