Systems and methods for providing data continuity for a mobile medical cart are provided. A battery board comprising a voltage detection circuit (“VCD”), a microcontroller, and a switching device electrically interposed between an alternative power source, a removable battery, and system boards for controlling cart functions. The microcontroller commands the switching device to: begin sourcing power solely from the alternative power source upon detection of a voltage decrease, begin sourcing power solely from the removable battery upon detection of a voltage increase where a valid charge state exists, and continue sourcing power solely from the alternative power source upon detection of the voltage increase where no valid charge state exists.

Described herein are systems and methods related to image management. A system may include an instrument that includes an elongate body and an imaging device. The elongate body can be configured to be inserted into a luminal network. The imaging device may be positioned at a distal tip of the elongate body. The system may receive from the imaging device one or more images captured when the elongate body is within the luminal network. For each of the images, the system may determine one or more metrics that are indicative of a reliability of an image for localization of the distal tip of the elongate body within the luminal network. The system may determine a reliability threshold value for each of the one or more metrics. The system can utilize the one or more images based on whether the one or more metrics meet corresponding reliability threshold values.

The invention relates to devices for preparing (10) and distributing (40) medicines to a plurality of patients (32), said devices respectively comprising at least one preparation holder (16), one distribution holder (43) and receptacles (15) in which pillboxes (12) are inserted. The preparation and distribution holders are adapted to receive identical receptacles and the computing means of each distribution device access a database shared with the computing means of a preparation device. The invention relates to an assembly comprising at least one preparation device and at least one distribution device, as well as to a method for preparing and distributing medicines which is implemented using these devices.

Disclosed herein are mobile battery powered medical carts, methods of operating these carts to increase efficiency of health-care operations, and methods of accurately calculating remaining battery runtime for these carts. A mobile battery powered medical cart may comprise a wheeled base portion having a sliding battery power bay, an upper workstation area having a monitor, a computer, and a printer, and at least one adjustable height column coupling the wheeled base portion to the upper workstation area. The carts may include a glass overlay display positioned on a top surface of the upper workstation area and having anti-bacterial and chemical resistant properties. The glass overlay display may be configured to provide medical employees with haptic feedback on remaining battery runtime, calculated via a custom algorithm for increased accuracy.

A system and method is described for printing a label with an RFID tag. The system includes an RFID reader that queries a first RFID tag coupled to a first medicinal container that includes a medication. In response, the system receives a first unique identifier and uses the first unique identifier to determine a status of the medication, associate the first medicinal container with a medical provider and print a second label that includes a second RFID tag for a second medicinal container.

A multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier 10) for use in a sterile fluid delivery system. The carrier includes a rotary housing (12) adapted for connection to the sterile fluid delivery system. The rotary housing has one or more bores (30) configured to receive a solute cartridge. The rotary housing, when connected to the sterile fluid delivery system, is selectively rotatable to facilitate creation of a desired sterile solution when sterile water from the fluid delivery system is flowed through the solute cartridge.

Examples of a module for housing unrelated electronic and electromechanical equipment for use during surgery. The module can include a lower section and a tower-like upper section. The lower section can house unrelated electronic and electromechanical equipment. The tower-like upper section can be located on top of the lower section. A water-resistant cowling can enclose at least a portion of the lower section and the tower-like upper section. A cartridge containing one or more ultraviolet-C producing lights can be protectively housed within the tower-like upper section. The cartridge containing one or more ultraviolet-C producing lights can be configured to emerge upward from a top of the tower-like upper section to substantially seat itself on the top of the tower-like upper section when activated allowing the ultraviolet-C light to disinfect the patient and staff-contacting upper surfaces of the equipment in the operating room.

A medication dispensing cabinet includes one or more lockable compartments, each containing medication, and a biometric input device at least partially disposed within and recessed below a surface of a medication dispensing cabinet. A compartment containing the medication is unlocked when an authorized biometric input is received by the biometric input device. The medication dispensing cabinet may verify that the user attempting access to the medication is authorized to dispense the medication before unlocking the compartment.

A secure dispensing unit includes a housing comprising a first end and a second end and a number of storage assemblies. The number of storage assemblies are arranged in parallel with one another within the housing. Each storage assembly includes a number of compartments arranged linearly along an axis of the housing with each of the compartments being configured to store an item. A cover is coupled with the housing and extends between the first end and the second end such that the cover is positioned over the compartments. An actuator is coupled with the cover, the actuator being configured to retract the cover to draw a distal end of the cover from the first end toward the second end to expose a selected number of compartments.

Techniques for dosage delivery based on digital dosage of an aqueous ingestible solution are disclosed. Oral spray delivery of an ingestible substance is provided to an individual, where the ingestible substance is in an aqueous solution. The ingestible substance can be cannabidiol; or can be a pharmaceutical, antibiotic, vitamin, supplement, medicinal, extract, or legal psychoactive substance; a legal tetrahydrocannabinol; an essential oil; a mineral; melatonin; or caffeine. A spray plunger depression by the individual is detected to facilitate delivery of the ingestible substance. A digital signal is activated based on the detecting the spray plunger depression. The digital signal is transmitted to a device that tracks spray delivery of the ingestible substance to the individual. The device includes a software application that tracks the spray delivery of the ingestible substance. The software application provides a reminder to the individual for a next spray delivery.
