INFLATABLE DEVICE WITH ERROR-PREVENTION ASPECTS
An inflatable device for patient positioning is provided. The inflatable device may include a first inflation chamber subsystem, a second inflation chamber subsystem, a third inflation chamber subsystem. At least a portion of the first inflation chamber subsystem may be conspicuously marked with a first color. At least a portion of the second inflation chamber subsystem may be conspicuously marked with a second color. At least a portion of the third inflation chamber subsystem may conspicuously marked with a third color. The first, second, and third colors may be visually distinct.
SEMI-AUTOMATED PATENT POSITIONING UTILIZING PATIENT BODY METRICS
A method of positioning a patient utilizing an inflatable device is provided. In one example, plurality of patient metrics may be received. A first chamber pressure target value, a second chamber pressure target value, and a third chamber pressure target value may be determined based on the plurality of patient metrics. The device may be inflated. The step of inflating the device may include inflating a first, second, and third chambers of the at least three independently inflatable chambers to the first, second, and third chamber pressure target values, respectively. A controller configured to execute the method may also be provided.
DYNAMIC FOAM MATTRESS ADAPTED FOR USE WITH A VARIABLE LENGTH HOSPITAL BED
A non-powered mattress including a cover enclosing a frame structure and a bladder assembly, the cover adapted to engage an articulated frame to control movement of portions of the foam frame and the bladder assembly in response to movement of the articulated frame.
Assembly, Configured to Detect a Body on a Support
The present invention relates to an assembly, configured to detect a body on a support, comprising:—the support having a body receiving surface configured to receive the body;—an array of sensors that is arranged at a distance relative to the body receiving surface of the support and comprising:—a plurality of presence detectors;—at least one liveliness detector; and—a controller configured to detect the presence of a living person based on measurement signals of both the presence detectors and the at least one liveliness detector.
System Comprising a Time Indicator
The present invention relates to a time indicator to repeatedly monitor lapsed time after a preceding event or remaining time up to a subsequent event relative to a maximum period between the preceding event and the subsequent event, comprising:—a display configured to output an indication of lapsed or remaining time of the maximum period;—a controller connected to the display and configured: to monitor time; to accept an indication of an occurrence of the subsequent event; to reset the lapsed or remaining time relative to the maximum period upon occurrence of the subsequent event; and to drive the display to output the reset lapsed or remaining time relative to the maximum period.
Dynamic foam mattress adapted for use with a variable length hospital bed
A non-powered mattress including a cover enclosing a frame structure and a bladder assembly, the cover adapted to engage an articulated frame to control movement of portions of the foam frame and the bladder assembly in response to movement of the articulated frame.
Support apparatuses comprising cooling elements
A support apparatus configured to support a person is provided. The support apparatus includes a top surface including one or more predetermined areas, one or more conduits located inside the support apparatus which are located proximate to the one or more predetermined areas, and an air supply configured to provide air to the one or more conduits for delivering to the one or more predetermined areas. The air supply includes a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the air provided by the air supply, a cooling element, and a controller communicatively coupled to the temperature sensor and the cooling element. The controller determines whether the measured temperature of the air is higher than a predetermined temperature, and controls the cooling element to cool the air to the predetermined temperature if it is determined that the temperature of the air is higher than the predetermined temperature.
ELECTRIC MOBILITY VEHICLE
An electric mobility vehicle including a mobility body, wheels provided at both sides in a vehicle width direction of the mobility body, and a sensor attached to the mobility body. An area which is located outside the wheel in the vehicle width direction, and at least one of a part of the wheel, and a part of the fender of the wheel are positioned within a detection area of the sensor.
Molded plastic film article, manufacturing method, and blister
A plastic foil molded part for a blister, in particular a tablet blister, comprises a transparent carrier substrate having a semitransparent function layer. The semitransparent function layer is constituted such that the plastic foil molded part has a first, visually recognizable color upon viewing in incident light and has a second, visually recognizable color upon viewing in transmitted light.
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TREATMENT USING A UNIVERSAL CAGE APPARATUS
A system and a method of treatment using a universal cage creating a coordinate method of exercise. Physical therapy or fitness exercises are provided to a patient through a system of cords, blocks and belts disposed on a plurality of grid panels through a plurality of mounting devices. Placement of the mounting devices on the grid panel is determined by which muscle groups are receiving therapy and the type of movement required. Once the placement for each movement is determined, the coordinates of the mounting device are captured so that the mounting devices can be preset consistently for each therapy session.
