SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GAS TREATMENT
A system and process for the recovery of at least one anesthetic from a gas stream including at least two anesthetics. The recovery includes adsorption by exposing the gas stream to an adsorbent. The adsorbent is then regenerated by exposing the adsorbent to a purge gas under conditions which efficiently desorb the at least two anethetics from the adsorbent. The at least two anesthetics (and impurities or reaction products) are condensed from the purge gas and subjected to fractional distillation to provide a recovered anesthetic.
Reduced-pressure systems, methods, and devices for simultaneously treating a plurality of tissue sites
Systems and methods for treating a plurality of tissue sites include a multi-port therapy unit. The multi-port therapy unit includes a plurality of patient-side ports each fluidly coupled to a plurality of conduits and a fluid reservoir fluidly coupled to the plurality of ports. A plurality of pressure sensors are associated with the plurality of patient-side ports to determining a pressure associated with each conduit. A controller is operatively coupled to the plurality of pressure sensors to receive treatment pressure data, monitor pressure for each pressure sensor of the plurality of pressure sensors, and signal an alarm condition if the pressure is outside of a pre-selected range. The system includes a reduced-pressure source fluidly coupled to a dressing at each tissue site through the multi-port therapy unit.
Method and system for influencing emotional regulation through assessment, education, and music playlist applications
A method of music therapy informed processes provides an effective online process to help a user regulate their mood through appropriate music selection choices. The method offers mood and music assessments to evaluate the user's mood, music preferences, goals, and understanding of the correlation between various moods and music. A mood sequence formula (MSF) is subsequently created to generate stylized and personalized music medicine pill (MMP) playlists. With additional recommendations of music exercise routine/regimen (MER) to the user, the method delivers therapeutic MMP playlists of the music therapy informed process with personalized music to manage physiological and behavioral responses, emotional regulation, performance and emotional intelligence. Using daily tracking and specific measurement data of biometrical and physiological devices, the user can track the progress and thus enable the method to fine tune the MSF and MMP playlists for the best effectiveness of the music therapy informed method.
PORTABLE DEVICE WITH DISPOSABLE RESERVOIR FOR COLLECTION OF INTERNAL FLUID AFTER SURGERY FROM A PLURALITY OF SITES SIMULTANEOUSLY
A system, method, and apparatus for the collection of surgical/wound fluid from a subject patient with the capability of simultaneous fluid removal from a plurality of such wounds and/or wound through the utilization of a single pump device worn by such a patient. Such a system, method, and apparatus allow for such a single pump device to collect surgical/wound fluid within a single site collection component attached to or associated with such a single pump device. Multiple fluid transfer lines may be incorporated with the single pump device leading to such plurality of wounds and/or wound sites for greater versatility and comfort for the subject patient, as well as cleaner removal capabilities than in the standard apparatus systems and method currently undertaken within the industry.
HEALTH CHECKS FOR INFUSION PUMP COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
A distributed system can include a server outside of a clinical environment and a connectivity adapter and a plurality of infusion pumps within the clinical environment. The connectivity adapter can monitor microservices that measure the quality of connectivity adapter's performance. If the performance is below a threshold level, a message indicating poor performance can be sent to the server. The message can be sent when a prior message relating to poor performance has not already been sent within a predetermined time period.
GAS VALVE SYSTEM WITH MANIFOLD
A gas valve system adapted for controlling the flow of a gas for a user is disclosed. The gas valve system comprises a housing, at least one sensor, one or more electronic and/or mechanical components for controlling the gas flow, and a manifold comprising one or more channels for guiding the gas between an input and an output of the gas valve system and to which the at least one sensor and one or more electronic and/or mechanical components can be coupled.
Portable device with disposable reservoir for collection of internal fluid after surgery from a plurality of sites simultaneously
A system, method, and apparatus for the collection of surgical/wound fluid from a subject patient with the capability of simultaneous fluid removal from a plurality of such wounds and/or wound through the utilization of a single pump device worn by such a patient. Such a system, method, and apparatus allow for such a single pump device to collect surgical/wound fluid within a single site collection component attached to or associated with such a single pump device. Multiple fluid transfer lines may be incorporated with the single pump device leading to such plurality of wounds and/or wound sites for greater versatility and comfort for the subject patient, as well as cleaner removal capabilities than in the standard apparatus systems and method currently undertaken within the industry.
Ventilator Airflow Splitter
A ventilator airflow splitter is described herein that includes two to four connectors extending axially through two to four channels starting from a port insert of a single inlet connector and terminating at a port of each of the two to four connectors. The two to four connectors merge into the single inlet connector where the single inlet connector includes an internal cross-splitter individually dividing each of the two to four connectors internally, thereby separating the airflow between each of the two to four connectors such that the air is incapable of moving between connectors. The ventilator airflow splitter also includes gussets where each of the two to four connectors have a gusset individually attached and the gussets merge at the single inlet connector. Each of the two to four connectors are configured to be operatively connected to medical equipmentor a ventilator at the ports and the port insert of the single inlet connector.
MOTION SICKNESS REDUCTION DEVICE
A device for motion sickness reduction. The device operates by providing haptic feedback using transducers that convert electrical signals to a tactile sensation such as pressure, vibration, electrical stimulation, temperature, or airflow. The transducers are located at different locations on the body of a user, and actively change their operation to indicate a direction of motion or rotation to the user through haptic (tactile) feedback. This tactile feedback can be used to reduce motion sickness. In an embodiment, the feedback is improved by deducting motion associated with the user's visual frame of reference from motion associated with the user's vestibular frame of reference.
SUBSTANCE DELIVERY APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Substance supply apparatus, systems and methods are provided herein. In some aspects, a substance supply apparatus comprises a tank assembly coupled to a manifold. The tank assembly can comprise a cavity housing one or more electrical components, a set of heating elements electrically coupled to the electrical components, and wherein each heating element is configured to couple with a cartridge configured to house a substance to be heated. The manifold can comprise a plurality of delivery ports, wherein each delivery port is configured to couple with a cartridge that is also coupled to the heating element. In some aspects, a system comprises one or more supply apparatus, as well as one or more inhalation chambers, actuator devices, supply paths from the apparatus to an inlet port of the chambers, and one or more controllers.
