Systems And Methods For Estimating A Blood Component Within A Canister

Systems and methods for estimating a blood volume within a canister. The system may include means for detecting a fluid level of the fluid, such as a float sensor mechanism disposed within the canister. An imaging device captures an image of the fluid within the canister. A processor determines an estimated concentration of a blood component in the fluid based on the image. The processor determines a canister volume of the fluid based on the detected fluid level, and estimates the blood volume within the canister based on the estimated concentration of the blood component and the determined canister volume. The processor may trigger the imaging device to capture the image based on a change in the canister volume. An insert may be arranged within the canister and positioned adjacent to and offset from a transparent region of the canister.

METHODS OF LOCAL IRRIGATION FOR TREATING FUNGAL INFECTIONS

Described herein are method and kits for locally treating or preventing fungal infection in a patient in need thereof. The method may include locally administering to a human patient a plurality of doses of at least one antifungal agent in solution by irrigating the at least one antifungal agent at a wound, wherein the administration provides the patient continuous localized antifungal therapy for at least a 24-hour period, at least 48-hour period, at least a 72-hour period, or at least a 96-hour period.

IV flow management systems and methods

An intravenous delivery system may operate by gravity feed, and may have a liquid source containing a liquid, a drip unit that receives the liquid from the liquid source, and tubing that receives the liquid from the drip unit for delivery to a patient. A flow rate sensor may be used to measure a flow rate of liquid through the intravenous delivery system, and may generate a flow rate signal indicative of the flow rate. A controller may receive the signal, and may compare the flow rate with a desired flow rate. If the flow rate is more or less than the desired flow rate, the controller may transmit a control signal to a flow rate regulator. The flow rate regulator may receive the control signal and, in response, modify the flow rate to bring the flow rate closer to the desired flow rate.

IRRIGATION SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE

A treatment delivery system includes a fluid delivery system connected to a first fluid reservoir and a second fluid reservoir. The system directs a first fluid from the first fluid reservoir to a treatment site and directs a second fluid from the second fluid reservoir to the treatment site and a control unit to control the fluid delivery system according to a treatment process comprising a flow of the first fluid and the second fluid, the treatment process including multiple phases. A first phase includes a controlled delivery of the first fluid from the first fluid reservoir to the treatment site. A second phase of the plurality of phases includes a controlled delivery of the second fluid from the second fluid reservoir to the treatment site, the control unit automatically activating a transition from at least the first phase to the second phase. Related devices, systems, kits, and methods are provided.

RELOCATION MODULE AND METHODS FOR SURGICAL EQUIPMENT

Module for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a portable digital camera and processing circuitry with machine vision and machine learning software for automatically documenting healthcare events and healthcare equipment operations in the electronic health record.

Real time detection and monitoring of fluid volume and flow rate

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.
