The present subject matter relates to devices, systems and methods for the construction of pressure chambers. Such pressure chamber devices, systems, and methods can include a plurality of substantially rigid panels arranged around a space, each of the substantially rigid panels comprising a metal frame formed from a plurality of metal frame elements. One or more connecting plate can be coupled to adjacent pairs of the plurality of substantially rigid panels. In this way, the one or more connecting plate is configured to provide a pressure-tight seal between a respective adjacent pair of the plurality of substantially rigid panels.

The invention relates to an artificial womb system for supporting newborns, in particular extremely premature infants between the 21/0 and 28/0 week of pregnancy, comprising the following: a chamber (1) of the artificial womb, said chamber being formed by an at least partially ultrasound-permeable wall (2) and comprising a lumen (14) for maintaining a physiologically intraamnial pressure and for receiving the artificial amniotic fluid (15) and a newborn or a premature infant, at least one access for supplying the premature infant in the artificial womb with nutrients, a dialysis device (9), and an oxygenator (8) and/or a gassing device for supplying oxygen to the newborn or premature infant, wherein means are provided in order to maintain an intraamnial pressure of >0 mBar in the chamber (1) of the artificial womb, said pressure acting on the newborn, in addition to the atmospheric pressure.

Systems, methods and components thereof for preventing ambient spread of aerosol during a cosmetic, medical or dental procedure are disclosed. The systems and methods utilize a containment unit that includes a rigid or semi-rigid transparent shield and a transparent or translucent flexible bib extending from an outer periphery of the shield. The containment unit covers a portion of a patient while still allowing a professional to view and perform a procedure on that portion of the patient. The systems and methods further utilize an inlet that is usable to facilitate evacuation of air from a confined space created by the containment unit.

A hydrogen-containing gas supply system includes one or more hydrogen-containing gas suppliers, one or more acquirers, and a controller. The one or more hydrogen-containing gas suppliers supply a hydrogen-containing gas to one or more areas in a building. The one or more acquirers acquire information indicating that a person is present in the one or more areas. When it is determined that a person is present in a certain area of the one or more areas in accordance with the information acquired by the acquirers, the controller causes at least one of the one or more hydrogen-containing gas suppliers to supply the hydrogen-containing gas to the certain area.

Proposed is a diagnostic apparatus including: an anteroom having a first door; a specimen obtainment room having a second door to be closed while the first door is opened after a person designated to be diagnosed enters the anteroom, and a specimen obtainment space where a specimen is obtained from the person; a diagnosis room being kept secluded from an atmosphere of each of the anteroom and the specimen obtainment room; and a negative pressure generator providing a negative pressure in such a manner that pressure in the anteroom is formed above pressure in the specimen obtainment room, wherein a specimen obtainment means for obtaining the specimen from the person in the specimen obtainment room is installed in a direction from the diagnosis room toward the specimen obtainment room, and the specimen obtainment means is sealed from the atmosphere of the specimen obtainment room.

The current invention provides an enclosure that can be placed over a patient in order to contain bodily fluids. The device includes a clear plastic sheet that fits snugly over a frame. The sides of the device contain access ports for physicians or their instruments to enter the patient’s area. These ports may be holes or hanging strips of sheet that overlap so that they form a sufficient seal while also allowing easy access to the patient when pushed aside. The bottoms of the sheet may contain weights to hold the sheet down. There is the possibility of including filters or positive/negative air flow ports. The entire device may be disposable. The frame may be solid, or the frame may pop open like an enclosure or umbrella. The device may also have straps that can be tightened underneath the bed or stretcher to secure the entire device in place.

Constructive layout in a container, to provide clean areas for medical and hospital care, such as fractionation of solid and liquid oral drugs (ISO8) and handling of sterile drugs (ISO7), as well as the configuration of the containers for the infusion, diagnosis, surgery, ICU and hemodialysis areas.
