A respiratory device provides respiratory support to a patient. The respiratory device includes an expandable bag and a rigid valve housing. The expandable bag has an air inlet valve as well as a first and second sides that are bounded, respectively, by first and second rigid side panels. Each of the first and second rigid side panels includes a biasing member projection. The rigid valve housing is in fluid communication with the expandable bag. The rigid valve housing includes an adjustable tidal volume control device that interfaces with the biasing member projection of each of the first and second rigid side panels to set one of a plurality of predetermined tidal volumes for the expandable bag in an uncompressed or compressed configuration. The rigid valve housing additionally includes a patient breathing interface connection member.

Systems and methods for pumping milk from a breast, wherein the milk is expressed from the breast under suction and milk is expulsed from the pumping mechanism to a collection container.

A dynamic balloon angioplasty system for applying a dynamic pressure to fracture hardened materials embedded within an elastic conduit. The system having a pressure source system outputting at least a first predetermined pressure from a pressure source outlet, and an angioplasty unit fluidly coupled to the pressure source outlet receiving at least the first predetermined pressure. The angioplasty unit having an angioplasty inflation device, an angioplasty balloon connector, and an oscillating mechanism selectively actuated to output a plurality of pressure pulses to the angioplasty balloon via a fluid communication path. A control system is configured to determine an optimal hydraulic pressure oscillation frequency and amplitude for a given procedure and output a control signal to the oscillating mechanism, and monitor a pressure signal to detect fracture of the hardened material within the elastic conduit or system failure or leakage.

Negative pressure wound therapy apparatuses and dressings, and systems and methods for operating such apparatuses for use with dressings are disclosed. In some embodiments, controlling the delivery of therapy can be based on monitoring and detecting various operating conditions. An apparatus can have a controller configured to monitor the duty cycle of a source of negative pressure and, based on the monitored duty cycle, determine whether a leak is present. The controller can be configured to provide an indication that a leak is present. For example, the controller can be configured to suspend and/or pause the delivery of therapy, and to restart the delivery of therapy due to a timeout, request from a user, etc. In addition, the controller can be configured to pause and/or restart the delivery of therapy upon a request from the user, such as in response to the user operating a switch.

Devices, systems and methods for controlling, regulating, altering, transforming or otherwise modulating the delivery of a substance to a delivery site. The devices, systems and methods optimize the delivery of the substance to an intended site, such as a vessel, vascular bed, organ and/or other corporeal structures, while reducing inadvertent introduction or reflux substance to other vessels, vascular beds, organs, and/or other structures, including systemic introduction.

A peristaltic pump includes a first motor shaft, a second motor shaft, a first pump head, a second pump head, and a motor. The first pump head is operably coupled to the first motor shaft such that the first pump head is rotated in response to rotation of the first motor shaft. The second pump head is operably coupled to the second motor shaft such that the second pump head is rotated in response to rotation of the second motor shaft. The motor is configured to rotate the first and second motor shafts. The pump head has a first mode in which the first pump head is rotated and the second pump head is idle and a second mode in which the first pump head is idle and the second pump head is rotated.

Syringe pump controllers which memorialize the process of hydrodynamic isotonic saline delivery (HIFD) to reverse acute kidney injury are disclosed. In some embodiments, the syringe pump controllers are constructed to control syringe pump(s) to deliver a defined volume of saline at a prescribed perfusion rate while monitoring renal vein pressures during the infusion. In some embodiments, the syringe pump controllers have safety features designed to shut off the infusion if the renal vein pressure goes above set safety limits.

An extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus comprises: a blood treatment device; an extracorporeal blood circuit comprising a blood withdrawal line and a blood return line coupled to the extracorporeal blood treatment device, wherein the blood return line presents a heating zone coupled or configured to be coupled to a blood warmer; a blood pump configured to be coupled to a pump section of the blood withdrawal line; at least a post-infusion line connected to the blood return line upstream of the heating zone; an air trapping device placed on the blood return line upstream of the heating zone.

In examples described herein, a system includes an elongate member configured to be introduced into vasculature of a patient. The elongate member includes a pressure sensor configured to generate a pressure signal indicative of pressure in the vasculature adjacent the needle. The system includes processing circuitry configured to receive the pressure signal from the pressure sensor, detect, based on the pressure signal, dislodgment of the elongate member from the vasculature, and generate an output in response to detecting the dislodgment of the elongate member from the vasculature.

An operating handle with feedback of guidewire/catheter advancement resistance for a vascular intervention robot includes a sliding guide rail, a fixing base plate, a connecting rod, an operation rod, a pressure sensing device, a rotary driving device, and a linear motor. The rotary driving device, the sliding guide rail, and a stator of the linear motor are arranged on the fixing base plate. The pressure sensing device and a rotor of the linear motor are connected with the sliding guide rail through a slider and are able to reciprocate along the sliding guide rail. The connecting rod has one end provided with the operation rod and the other end connected with the rotor of the linear motor through a strain gauge. The connecting rod passes through the pressure sensing device and the rotary driving device in sequence.
