The invention relates to a fluid pump or rotary cutter having at least one first element (9, 10) which can be brought from a transport state into an operating state by changing at least one mechanical property. Such a pump can, for example, be a blood pump for the medical, microinvasive area. The object of achieving a transition between the transport state and the operating state which is as comfortable as possible and in so doing leaving a freedom in the design of the corresponding apparatus, in particular of a pump, which is as large as possible, is achieved using the means of the invention in that the first element at least partly comprises a material (24, 25, 26, 27) or can be filled with a material or material mixture which passes through a chemical reaction, in particular cross-linking, or a crystallization for transition into the operating state.

A wound therapy device and method includes a skin contacting element, a reactor, and a reactor housing element. The skin contacting element is configured for covering an associated tissue site, the reactor for creating a pressure condition at the associated tissue site upon actuation thereof, and the reactor housing element for accommodating the reactor. The skin contacting element has a skin contacting side and an interface side, which is opposite the skin contacting side. The reactor housing element has a lower affixing side and an upper side, which is opposite the lower affixing side.

A medical ventilator with a pneumonia and pneumonia bacterial disease analysis function by using gas recognition includes a sensor array, a sensor circuit, a stochastic neural network chip, a memory and a microcontroller. The sensor array detects a plurality of gases under test and generates a plurality of recognition signals corresponding to the gases under test. The sensor circuit reads and analyzes the recognition signals to generate a plurality of gas pattern signals corresponding to the gases under test. The stochastic neural network chip reduces a dimension of the gas pattern signals to generate an analysis result. The memory stores gas training data. The microcontroller receives the analysis result, and identifies types of the gases under test according to the analysis result.

A digital biomedical device includes a substrate forming a cavity, a seal formed around the cavity, a lid coupled to the substrate by the seal, a reactive metal structure comprising a plurality of metal layers, wherein the reactive metal structure is a component of at least one of the substrate and the lid, a metal trace configured to initiate a self-propagating reaction between the plurality of metal layers of the reactive metal structure and release contents of the cavity, and a power supply configured to apply an electric current to the metal trace

A compact single-nostril atomizer for the inhalation of active ingredients is presented. The atomizer has an elastic U-shaped housing, a first end of which can be introduced into the nostril and a second end of which is formed as a clamping element. In the first end of the housing a cavity for receiving a reservoir is disposed. A reservoir containing an active ingredient can be inserted into the cavity.

A method for extracorporeal treatment of a body fluid of a patient suffering from sepsis, in an extracorporeal flow line, comprising removing at least one harmful substance from the body fluid of the patient. In a first injection step, a first mixture containing functionalized magnetic particles bound to at least a first binding agent at least directed against a first type of target molecules contained in the body fluid is added to the extracorporeal flow line comprising a sample of the body fluid extracted from a patient and containing at least the first type of target molecules. The first mixture is injected in a therapeutically effective dose necessary to reduce a concentration of the target molecules of at least the first type in the body fluid sample of the patient, followed by a mixing step and a separation step for reduction of the target molecule concentration.
