The transport device may deliver IV products of various configurations, including one in which the product comprises a flexible bag and a container housing for supporting and protecting the fluid bag.

Disclosed is a medical or organization cart with a cart body which is in particular essentially formed in the shape of a straight prism, and at least one corner post which may at least be indirectly fixed vertically to the cart body. At the corner post, at least one cross strap and/or one adapter, in particular made out of plastic, for attaching accessories at the medical or organization cart may be mounted. The adapter may be mounted both at the corner post and at the cross strap and/or the cross strap at the corner post, without using tools, in particular by clamping, and may be detached from the latter. The cross strap and/or the adapter may, when mounted at the corner post, be swiveled horizontally around the corner post.

A medical cart includes a controller, display unit and display application that enables a user to select controls to specify different functions to be executed by the controller and to specify different status data to be displayed. A system for providing remote services to the medical cart includes a database and a server, both of which are located remotely from the cart. The database includes a plurality of applications. The server includes a data collection unit to collect data associated with the medical carts, and an analysis unit to analyze the collected data to detect a condition associated with the cart. In response to the detected condition, the control unit executes one or more of the applications, determines parameters to be communicated to the cart, automatically downloads one or more applications to the cart, and/or activating a web page having information to a user displaying information about the cart.

A trolley for medical equipment includes a base mounted on a plurality of wheels. A brake device including at least one deformable brake pad is located beneath the trolley base. A release mechanism is provided to move the brake pad between a raised position in which it is spaced above a floor surface on which the trolley wheels rest, and a lowered position in which the brake pad is pressed against the floor surface under the weight of the brake device to a exert a braking force on the trolley.

A system and method for determining magnetization and force directions for a plurality of magnetic elements that makes up a magnetic assembly on a medical cart. The magnetic assembly may be configured to generate magnetic forces that create pushing and/or pulling force on a magnetic therapeutic agent at specific locations relative to a simulated patient on the medical cart.

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a dispenser configured for securely storing a plurality of items within a cart and providing access to a subset of the plurality of items to authorized users. According to various embodiments, the dispenser generally includes a housing defining an interior portion dimensioned to receive a storage cart having an array of receptacles each configured to hold one or more items, a laterally sliding access door configured to provide restricted access to the cart stored within the dispenser, and an item access mechanism configured to provide selective access to a subset of the plurality of items stored within the cart. The dispenser additionally comprises a cart guide mechanism and a cart locking mechanism configured to guide the cart into the housing and to secure the cart in an appropriate location within the housing for use with the item access mechanism.

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.

An athletic trainer cart is disclosed. The cart may include a frame, wheels connected to a bottom of the frame, padding connected to a top of the frame, and a drawer assembly. The padding may enable a top surface of the cart to be used as an examination table. The drawer assembly may selectively translate in and out of an interior volume of the frame. The drawer assembly may include a drawer and a drawer cover. The drawer cover may have a flat surface that may be used as a work surface when the drawer assembly is deployed and the drawer cover is in a closed position. A user may pivot the drawer cover with respect to the drawer to access one or more contents of the drawer.

The disclosure relates to a medical imaging supply transport cart having enhanced safety features and a process implementing the same. The medical imaging supply transport cart includes a support surface configured to support medical imaging supplies, the support surface further configured to support a support mechanism, and the support mechanism further configured to support the medical imaging supplies. The support mechanism further configured to rigidly hold the medical imaging supplies with a first holding mechanism, the medical imaging supplies configured to store at least one dose of a nuclear medicine, a plurality of wheels arranged below the support surface, at least one door configured to enclose the medical imaging supplies, and a handle configured to be grasped by a user to guide the medical imaging supply transport cart.
