This disclosure relates to systems, media, and methods for providing near-instantaneous feedback from real-time motion sensor data. In an embodiment, the system may perform operations including loading at least one target motion trigger. Disclosed embodiments may receive real-time sensor data from the first motion sensor detachably fixed to a user. Additionally, disclosed embodiments may include calculating a motion profile based on the real-time sensor data, the motion profile describing a multi-dimensional representation of acceleration of a motion performed by the user. Disclosed embodiments may also include comparing the at least one target motion trigger to the calculated motion profile to determine if the motion performed by the user corresponds to the target motion. Further, disclose embodiments may include transmitting, based on the comparison, an instruction to provide an alert to a user.

Embodiments disclosed herein are generally directed to blood flash detection systems and methods thereof. Embodiments include an indicator device including a needle and needle hub, defining a lumen and in fluid communication with a medical line. The needle hub includes a marker, such as an RFID tag, with electrodes extending to the lumen. When a fluid flow, for example blood, enters the lumen, an electrical connection between the electrodes is bridged, completing the circuit and activating the marker. The marker can then be responsive to an interrogation signal, and can provide a response signal. The response signal can be detected and interpreted by a detection device that indicates to a user that the vasculature has been accessed without the user directly observing the insertion site or the device.

A method and system for actively monitoring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) strain experienced at the knee joint during athletic activity or dynamic movement. Sensors are used in proximity of the knee joint to actively record parameters such as flexion angle and ground impact force at the knee joint. Sensor measurements are then inputted into a processing unit that will quantify a tibial shear force (TSF) value based on the sensor outputs and dynamically generate user feedback and/or warning signals when unsafe levels of TSF conducive to ACL injury are detected.

Systems and methods to assist a practitioner to confirm location of a distal tip of a needle within a patient include confirming tactile feedback from a needle insertion to a point of loss of resistance of fluid flow and by viewing a display showing color of a tissue plane at the distal tip of the needle at the point of loss of resistance.

A lancing device having a housing with a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis. The lancing device also has a lancet carrier translationally supported with respect to the housing. The lancet carrier has a proximal end and a distal end. The lancing device additionally has a charging mechanism and/or an ejection mechanism adapted to pivot into the lancing device for engaging portions of the lancet carrier to perform the same.

This invention relates to a liquid sample collection apparatus comprising, a port for receiving a liquid sample, a collector for storing said liquid sample, at least one conduit connecting said port to said collector, and a sample detection apparatus comprising a sensor for detecting said liquid in said collector and generating an output depending on the quantity of said liquid detected in said collector, and a controller responsive to said sensor output and configured to determine that said sample has been collected when said sensor output indicates that a quantity of said liquid above a threshold amount is detected in said collector.

A blood collection assembly includes a hub with a distal end, a proximal end, a hub outer surface and an internal opening extending therethrough. The assembly also includes a holder housing defining a receiving chamber and having a rearward end adapted to receive a sample collection tube within the chamber and a forward end including a receiving port extending into the chamber, where the receiving port receives a portion of the proximal end of the hub therein. An internal opening of the hub accommodates a puncturing element at the proximal end thereof for providing passage of a fluid therethrough, and the puncturing element contacts the sample collection tube. The hub and the holder housing include an interengaging structure extending substantially perimetrically therearound for axially locking the hub with the holder housing.

An apparatus includes a catheter, an introducer, and an actuator. A distal end portion of the introducer is configured to be coupled to a peripheral intravenous line. The introducer defines an inner volume having a first portion that defines an axis parallel to and offset from an axis defined by a second portion. A first portion of the actuator is movably disposed in the first portion of the inner volume. A second portion of the actuator is movably disposed in the second portion of the inner volume and coupled to the catheter movably disposed in the second portion of the inner volume. The actuator moves the catheter between a first position, in which the catheter is disposed within the introducer, and a second position, in which at least a portion of the catheter is disposed within the peripheral intravenous line.
