The hanger can further include a hook configured to be coupled to a fluid collection bag of a fluid drainage system. The hanger can further include a console having one or more processors, non-transitory storage medium, an energy source and a one or more logic modules configured to determine a change in fluid volume of the collection bag over time and an off-axis loading of the fluid collecting bag relative to the transverse axis.

A coupling device comprising a base member connectable to a first item and a release member connectable to a second item, the base and release members being releasably connectable together. The base member has a front face including a pocket. The release member comprises a body which is configured to be received in the pocket in a coupled position. The pocket has an open access end through which the release member can be slidingly inserted and removed. The base member includes a stop member moveable, by an actuator, between a lock position in which the stop member interengages with the release member to prevent removal of the release member from the pocket of the base member, and a release position in which the release member can be separated from the base member. A securing apparatus for releasably securing a mobile equipment to a support surface, and including the coupling device.

A clamp includes a housing, a fixed gripper, a moveable gripper, a driven member, and an actuator. The housing includes first and second tracks. The fixed gripper is coupled to the housing. The driven member is configured to slide within the first and second tracks of the housing. The moveable gripper is operatively coupled to the driven member. The actuator is configured to move the driven member towards a first position to thereby move the moveable gripper towards the fixed gripper. The actuator is further configured to move the driven member towards a second position to thereby move the moveable gripper away from the fixed gripper.

An IV system can include a first flow regulator configured to restrict flow through a tube and a second flow regulator configured to restrict flow through the tube downstream of the first flow regulator. The first flow regulator can compress the tube a fixed amount to set an initial flow rate through the tube, while the second flow regulator includes a user-adjustable mechanical compression device that compresses the tube to a variable degree to fine-tune the flow rate through to a more precise flow rate that is lower than the initial flow rate. The flow regulators can utilize a purely mechanical means such that electricity is not required. Such systems can provide a simple, low-cost, and low-power way to provide precise flow control to patients, especially neonatal patient, in any environment. Systems can also include flow rate monitoring, alerting, and shutoff components.

An equipment adaptor assembly and equipment stand is disclosed which generally comprises an adaptor body having a width and a depth, a connector extending from the adaptor body and configured for securement to the equipment, a first brace extending from a first portion of the adaptor body for stabilizing the equipment relative to the adaptor when secured to the connector, and a second brace extending from a second portion of the adaptor body for stabilizing the equipment relative to the adaptor when secured to the connector. The adaptor may be configured to be interchangeably securable to a floor stand and a horizontal support structure while maintaining a level orientation of the equipment relative to horizontal when secured to the adaptor and without rearranging the adaptor.

A medical tube management system, kit, and method of use; including a fastener, a length of tubing, and a releasable spring to retain and release slack in the tubing when accidentally tugged. The fastener being universal and interchangeable, able to connect various springs. The spring is capable of reversibly restricting flow in the tubing when uncoupled from the fastener. The fastener is capable of notifying the patient, or care taker, when the system has been tugged into the uncoupled position.

A clamp device for mounting equipment to a support structure including a base and a slider. The base includes a first trough formed in the front side of the base and a second trough formed in the back side of the base and a first coupling element located on the first lateral side and a second coupling element located on the second lateral side of the base. Each of the first and second coupling elements extend from near the top end of the base towards the bottom end of the base at an angle relative to the first trough. The slider includes a channel on a back side of the slider and corresponding coupling elements within the channel configured to slidingly engage the first and second coupling elements upon association of the slider with the base.

A medical fluid bag rack for hanging bags containing medical fluid that includes at least one base section; at least two support arms which extend from the base section; and at least one bag rack arm. The at least one bag rack arm extends from the base section or from one of the support arms. Also disclosed are methods for manufacturing the fluid bag rack and devices.

A coupling device comprising a base member connectable to a first item and a release member connectable to a second item, the base and release members being releasably connectable together. The base member has a front face including a pocket. The release member comprises a body which is configured to be received in the pocket in a coupled position. The pocket has an open access end through which the release member can be slidingly inserted and removed. The base member includes a stop member moveable, by an actuator, between a lock position in which the stop member interengages with the release member to prevent removal of the release member from the pocket of the base member, and a release position in which the release member can be separated from the base member. A securing apparatus for releasably securing a mobile equipment to a support surface, and including the coupling device.

A method of detecting a fault condition in an infusion process, the method includes receiving a programmed flow rate pertaining to a fluid infusion provided by an infusion device; determining, a first weight of an infusion container associated with the fluid infusion provided by the infusion device at a first time; determining a second weight of the infusion container at a second time; determining based on the first weight and the second weight, a determined flow rate of the fluid infusion provided by the infusion device between the first time and the second time. The method includes determining a difference between the determined flow rate and the programmed flow rate. When a magnitude of the difference between the determined flow rate and the programmed flow rate satisfies a predetermined threshold, by the processor: causing an output of the infusion device or the weight sensor to indicate the fault condition.
