A system for transporting persons with reduced mobility includes a chassis having two lateral cross members, a device for connecting to an IV pole including a rod and a wheeled support attached to an end of the rod, the connection device including an attachment support fixed to the chassis, a coupling element designed to be solidly fixed to the rod, a member for connecting the coupling element to the attachment support, a lateral stop attached to at least one of the cross members, the lateral stop being built and arranged to brace the wheeled support in relation to the chassis and to position the IV pole laterally in relation to the transportation system.

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.

The present disclosure provides a coupling system for coupling a medical accessory to an accessory support is provided. The present disclosure also provides a system for powering a medical accessory with an accessory support.

Disclosed are various embodiments for identification of medical fluid treatment to a medical patient. Systems and their operations are disclosed to identify a fluidic treatment protocol among a plurality of medical infusion lines. The system includes medical infusion pumps, illuminating medical infusion lines, and computing resources to initiate identification. Fluidic medical treatment is prone to error, cognitive load is elevated in healthcare operations, the various embodiments disclosed herein are systems and methods to decrease error and reduce cognitive load by identifying as a visual cue the medical fluid treatment protocol.

An improved intravenous pole having greater flexibility, stability, and mobility. The preferred embodiment is a treatment mobility apparatus. The device is an improved advancement in existing IV pole technology. Applicants' device has a unique upper base member that allows for greater mobility for both the patient and the pole itself. The upper base member has a support rod and divots to prevent the pole from tilting or falling, which increases the stability of the device. Further, at the top of the rod, there is an opening where multiple hook devices can be inserted and interchanged allowing for flexible use of the device.

IV stand assemblies are provided that include a base, a stand, a platform and a motorized pole assembly having a housing, a pole and a drive. The drive moves the pole to extend and retract the pole relative to the housing. A weight measurement assembly measures weight of a fluid within a fluid container hanging from the IV stand assembly. IV stand assemblies with a pulley/belt assembly and methods of operating IV assemblies are also provided.

A method and system to monitor and autonomously configure an intravascular assembly without medical staff involvement or presence. In this solution, a robotic device is associated with an intravascular assembly, which has tubing through which fluids are delivered intravenously. Monitoring of the tubing is initiated. In response to the monitoring, an errant flow through the tubing is detected; typically, the errant flow results from one of: a kink or twist in the tubing, an air bubble in the tubing, an occlusion or clot in the tubing, and pressure variations. In response to detecting the errant flow, and in advance of an audible alarm being generated in association with the intravascular assembly, a command is then issued to the associated robotic device. The command is configured to initiate, by the robotic device, physical engagement with and mechanical manipulation of the tubing, thereby remediating the errant flow automatically.

Stability devices of varied shape and configurations that serve the function of preventing the systems and equipment such as disinfection equipment or other types of structures and systems from tipping over due to lateral loading. These stability devices attach to the base of the disinfection device and sit slightly above floor level such that mobility of the device is unhindered when in motion but that keep the device from toppling past a certain maximum angle from the vertical when lateral loads are applied at the top of the disinfection device. The stability devices provide protection to the operators and to the equipment and thereby facilitate the function of such disinfection devices in hospitals and other facilities.

An intravenous pole accessory (30) includes a stuffed doll having a head portion (32) and a main portion (33) that covers a major portion of an intravenous pole (36) upon placement of the accessory on the intravenous pole. The accessory can include at least a first attachment member (31 or 31A) coupled to a portion (32) of the stuffed doll configured and arranged for retaining the stuffed doll in a vertical position when the first attachment member is attached to a top portion (36A) of the intravenous pole, and a hole (34) in the main portion of the stuffed doll configured to allow access to a medical device (37) attached to the intravenous pole when the at least first attachment member is attached to the top portion of the intravenous pole.

A telescopic IV and feeding bag pole is disclosed herein. The miniature telescopic IV or feeding bag support pole is configured for children. The support pole includes a telescopic central post with bag holding arms, and a wheeled base with a plurality of casters. The wheeled base includes an H-shaped base member having two parallel supports which are perpendicular mounted to a central support rod. Each of the two parallel supports include castor wheels to allow a child to easily transport the IV pole. The telescopic central post is then mounted onto the central support rod. Furthermore, the telescopic central post has an opening at a top end which receives the holding arms. The holding arm is telescopically adjusted from the telescopic central post to provide the optimal height for a user.
