DEVICE FOR HEATING LIQUIDS THAT ARE TO BE DELIVERED TO THE HUMAN BODY
A device for heating liquids to be supplied to the human body includes an electric heating, a conduit for passing liquid there through, which conduit includes a conduit body on which the electric heating acts for supplying heat, and a heating which acts by electromagnet radiation on the liquid in order to heat it, characterized in that the heating is a microwave heating which includes a microwave generator and a housing which is shielded against microwaves and which includes a cavity in which the microwave generator generate a microwave field, and that a section of the conduit is disposed to extend in the cavity.
Infusion Pump Apparatus, Method and System
A system is disclosed. The system includes a fill adapter device including a heat exchanger which includes a heating element and a fluid pathway, the fluid pathway fluidly connected to a filling needle input, whereby fluid enters the heat exchanger through the filling needle input and flows through the fluid pathway and whereby the fluid is heated by the heating element. The system also includes a reservoir including a plunger and a plunger rod and a filling needle configured to be removably attached to the reservoir, wherein the fill adapter is configured to be attached to a vial of fluid and wherein fluid from the vial flows through the fluid pathway and is heated and loaded into the reservoir through the filling needle.
INFUSION PUMP APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM
An infusion pump system is disclosed. The infusion pump system includes an infusion pump and a controller device in wireless communication with the infusion pump, wherein the controller including instructions for controlling the infusion pump, wherein the instructions May be synchronized with a secure web portal.
Wound treatment apparatus and method
An apparatus and method for aspirating, irrigating and/or cleansing wounds is provided. The apparatus and method include one or more of the following: simultaneous aspiration and irrigation of the wound, supplying of thermal energy to fluid circulated through the wound; supplying physiologically active agents to the wound; a biodegradable scaffold in contact with the wound bed; and application of stress or flow stress to the wound bed.
Multi-functional peritoneal dialysis mobile cart
A mobile dialysis therapy cart includes a top shelf; a cycler compartment positioned below the top shelf, the cycler compartment sized and shaped to house an APD cycler; a fluid bag management compartment sized and shaped to house at least two fluid bags; a drain compartment positioned below the fluid bag management compartment; and a plurality of wheels. The cart may include a heating device associated with the fluid bag management compartment and/or a sanitizing light source for sanitizing a location of a disposable set associated with the fluid bags.
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL PERITONEAL DIALYSIS MOBILE CART
A mobile dialysis therapy cart includes a top shelf and a fluid bag management compartment located beneath the top shelf. The fluid bag management compartment includes at least one heating device for heating a fluid bag. The mobile dialysis therapy cart also includes at least one temperature sensor located to sense a temperature associated with dialysis fluid located within the fluid bag. The mobile dialysis therapy cart further includes a control unit communicatively coupled to the at least one heating device and the at least one temperature sensor. The control unit is programmed to use an output from the at least one temperature sensor to operate the at least one heating device to heat the dialysis fluid within the fluid bag to a desired temperature.
Device and method for nerve block by local cooling to room temperature
Provided herein are methods of nerve blockage, for example for treatment of obesity, heart failure, cardiovascular disease, muscle spasms, chronic pain, or urinary retention in a patient. The method comprises first heating a nerve above physiological temperature (e.g., 37 C. in a human), such as from 43 C. to 54 C. for a duration that leads to reversible nerve blockage as opposed to nerve damage. Second, reversible nerve blockage is produced by cooling the nerve below physiological temperature to a temperature in which reversible nerve blockage is achieved, for example from 15 C. to 30 C.
