A system for performing an endoscopic surgical procedure in a surgical cavity of a patient that includes a gas delivery device configured to deliver a flow of pressurized gas to a gas delivery lumen extending therefrom, a gaseous sealing module communicating with a distal end of the gas delivery lumen and configured to generate a gaseous seal within a gas sealed lumen extending therefrom, and an access port communicating with a distal end of the gas sealed lumen so as to provide sealed instrument access to the surgical cavity and maintain a stable pressure within the surgical cavity.

An implantable medical device (IMD) including a housing defining a propellant chamber, a drug reservoir located within the propellant chamber of the housing configured to receive a therapeutic fluid, a propellant gas within the propellant chamber; and a volume measurement system that includes a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the propellant gas within in the propellant chamber and a pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure of the propellant gas within the propellant chamber. The volume measurement system is configured to measure the pressure and the temperature of the propellant gas to provide current volume information of the therapeutic fluid in the drug reservoir.

A fluid delivery and airway management device including a tubular member dimensioned for introducing a fluid into a trachea of a mammal, the tubular member having a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a middle portion between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The tubular member is dimensioned for positioning of the proximal portion in an oral cavity of a mammal, the middle portion in an oropharynx of the mammal and the distal portion in an esophagus of the mammal. An inflatable oral cavity balloon is positioned at the proximal portion and dimensioned to occlude the oral cavity. An inflatable esophageal balloon is positioned at the distal portion and dimensioned to occlude the esophagus. Apertures may be formed within the middle portion such that a fluid introduced into the tubular member is output through the apertures to a trachea.

An apparatus and method for inactivating infectious organisms in human body are provided. The apparatus comprises a body having an elongated balloon shape with an open end; a disinfectant containing chlorine dioxide accepted in the body; and an activation module coupled to the body, the activation module includes a case having an opening capable of accommodating the body, an energy supply unit for supplying energy to the disinfectant to activate the chlorine dioxide and a controller for controlling the energy supply unit. The method comprises the steps of inserting the device into a vagina and controlling a degree of activation of the chlorine dioxide so as to inactive infectious organisms in the vagina by adjusting an intensity of the energy.

The present invention is generally related to a suction system for use during surgical procedures. The suction system for use during surgical procedures utilizes a suction device that is postionable so that the suction device can be located in its most efficient position in order to capture as much smoke and odors as possible that are being produced at a surgical site. Furthermore, the suction system is also capable of being quickly and easily removed from the patient's surgical field so that the suction system can be quickly and easily located at another location on the patient's surgical field, if needed. Finally, the suction system includes widened head areas that create a wide suction area in order to further assist in capturing as much smoke and odors as possible that are being produced at a surgical site.

Disclosed is a transfer device for use in reconstituting dry drugs and for diluting liquid drugs in drug containers. The transfer device includes a multi-port manifold and a connector suitable to be attached to a drug container, a first conduit to transfer a liquid entering an inlet port of the manifold through the connector and into the drug container, and a second conduit to transfer a gaseous fluid through the connector to an outlet port of the manifold. Also disclosed is a closed liquid transfer system which includes the transfer device, a tube connectable to the inlet port for transporting a liquid to the transfer device, a tube connectable to the outlet port for transporting the gaseous fluid away from the transfer device, and a gas collection container to collect the gaseous fluid in the gas transporting tube.

Devices, and methods for generating variable inhalable products (e.g., variable density, phase, and size products) are provided. Methods for treating or preventing a disorder in a subject using variable products generated by the devices are also provided herein. Additionally, inhalers and breathing systems comprising the devices are provided.

A breathing tube system includes a gas receiving tube, an output tube and a flame arrester. The gas receiving tube is configured to receive a breathing gas. The output tube is coupled to the gas receiving tube to form a supply pipeline. The output tube is configured for a user to wear and to output the breathing gas from the supply pipeline to the user. The flame arrester is configured in the supply pipeline. Accordingly, the safety of the breathing equipment could be improved.

A face mask system for detecting gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The face mask system includes a protective mask, at least one communication device, a gas detection device and an external sensor. The gas detection device includes a power supply unit, an inductive coil loop, an internal microcontroller, a wireless communication chip and an internal sensor. The internal sensor is configured to detect and measure a plurality of inside mask VOC readings. The external sensor is configured to detect and measure a plurality of outside mask VOC readings. The external sensor compares an average inside VOC value with an average outside VOC value to provide unique and accurate information of the environment inside the protective mask thereby protecting the user from hazardous situations.

A hydrogen supply apparatus includes: an air path having an inlet and an outlet; a fan that is disposed in the air path and produces a flow of air from the inlet to the outlet; a first pipe having an end that forms a first supply port through which to supply hydrogen gas to the air path; a flow control device that is attached to the first pipe and adjusts a flow rate of the hydrogen gas; and a hydrogen gas sensor, disposed downstream of the fan or the end in a direction of flow of the air that detects a concentration of the hydrogen gas in the air path, where the end is disposed between the fan and the outlet or between the fan and the inlet in the air path.
