A method of gastric tube placement verification comprising the steps of: Inserting a gastric tube within the patient; Providing a colorimetric based gastric tube placement verification system for a patient gastric tube including i) a housing configured to be coupled to the gastric tube whereby stomach content aspirate can flow through an internal passage of the housing; and ii) at least one colorimetric based sensor within the housing and configured to come into contact with the patient stomach content aspirate, the least one colorimetric based sensor configures to detect a first gastric acid; Coupling the housing of the colorimetric based gastric tube placement verification system to a proximal end of the gastric tube; Aspirating stomach content of the patient whereby stomach aspirate can flow through an internal passage of the housing; and Visually inspecting at least one colorimetric based sensor within the housing for verification of proper gastric tube placement.

A pill counting device includes a step feeder having moveable slats interleaved with fixed slats. The movable slats are vertically offset from one another and are configured to move vertically between top platforms of adjacent fixed slats to carry pills vertically up the step feeder. A top movable slat orients a subset of the plurality of pills into a row of pills to be fed into a count chamber. A camera configured to capture an image of a pill of the individual pills as it falls through the count chamber. The device further includes a control system configured to control movement of the movable slats and to control capturing of images by the camera. The control system is further configured to calculate a characteristic of the pill from the image, and to increment a pill counter in response to the characteristic of the pill meeting predefined criteria.

A locating system for finding a lost or misplaced baby bottle, sippy cup, or other children's drinkware. The locating system comprises a sleeve component configured to partially encapsulate the baby bottle or sippy cup. An alerting component is positional and securable within an external pouch in the sleeve component. The alerting component comprises a location indicator configured to emit a signal indicating a location of the baby bottle or sippy cup. The signal may be audible, visual, or vibratory. The alerting component is wirelessly activatable by a remote controller configured to select the desired signal and a volume of the signal.

Mechanisms for dispensing items such as medications and medical supplies. Different mechanisms may be tailored to dispensing different kinds of items, for example medications in single dose packages, vials, syringes, or other similarly-shaped items. The dispensers may be placed in a dispensing unit that includes a lockable restock drawer and a dispense drawer into which items are dispensed by the dispensing mechanisms. The various kinds of dispensing mechanisms may be installed in the restock drawer in any workable proportion and arrangement. The dispensing mechanisms include multiple sensing technologies for tracking and inventory of items and for accurate sensing of items as they are dispensed.

The present disclosure provides a medicine box, including a housing, a door, a first clamping member, and a second clamping member, a cavity is formed inside the housing, the housing has an opening on a top surface; an end of the door is rotatably connected with one side of the housing at the opening, an end of the first clamping member is connected with the other end of the door, and the other end of the first clamping member includes a first magnetic portion; an end of the second clamping member is connected with the other side of the housing at the opening, and the other end of the second clamping member includes a second magnetic portion; and a clamping area with a changeable size is formed between the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion.

A high flow therapy system for delivering heated and humidified respiratory gas to an airway of a patient includes a respiratory gas flow pathway for delivering the respiratory gas to the airway of the patient by way of a non-sealing respiratory interface; wherein flow rate of the respiratory gas is controlled by a microprocessor, a mixing area for mixing a first gas and a second gas in the respiratory gas flow pathway, a humidification area downstream of the mixing area and configured for humidifying respiratory gas in the respiratory gas flow pathway, and a heated delivery conduit for minimizing condensation of humidified respiratory gas.

An adaptive audio therapy system which detects and processes one or more individuals' conditions to provide adaptive, continuous audio therapy in real-time. The adaptive audio therapy system generally includes a detection device that is typically in physical contact with an individual, such as a pacifier or steering wheel. The detection device may include sensors to detect various conditions of the individual, such as heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, and the like. A computing device receives and processes the various conditions detected by the sensors. Based on the detected conditions, the computing device provides audio therapy which is adaptive to the condition of the patient and which is continuously adapted in real-time.

The automated modular pill dispensing device is for selectively dispensing pills of a pill regimen to a patient. The dispensing device includes a base unit having a pill dispensing chute leading to a pill receptacle area. A plurality of stackable pill trays each include a series of pill compartments. The plurality of stackable pill trays each include communication ports for communicatively interfacing with the pill tray communication interface of the base unit and adjacent stackable pill trays above and below. Each stackable pill tray includes an opening in the tray base, aligned with the pill dispensing chute of the base unit, and an actuator configured to selectively advance the series of pill compartments towards the pill hopper in response to the controller so that pills therein will be dispensed, in accordance with the pill regimen, through the pill hopper and via the pill dispensing chute to a pill receptacle positioned at the pill receptacle area.

A method for performing a medical procedure requiring effective, reliable and foolproof delivery of controlled amounts of a medical grade gas to a patient includes providing a compressed gas cylinder having a weight with medical grade gas sealed therein of at least twelve grams and not greater than fifty grams. The method also includes connecting the compressed gas cylinder to an integrated compressed gas unit including a regulator valve assembly positioned between an outlet port and an inlet port, wherein the regulator valve assembly includes a press button actuator and regulator adjustment dial. A flow control system is secured to the compressed gas unit and the medical grade gas is delivered in precisely controlled amounts by actuating the compressed gas unit and operating the flow control system to deliver the medical grade gas to vasculature of the patient.
