A security tag can prohibit unauthorized usage of a device or product. The device may include an electronic nicotine delivery systems (“ENDS”) device, which may include aerosol delivery devices such as smoking articles that produce aerosol. The security tag can prevent usage until authorized. Attempts at usage without authorization can result in the device being unusable. The authorization may include identity confirmation or age verification.

A transport and delivery system which may be used for injectable materials such as radioactive injectables. The system includes a base configured to hold a material transport device containing the injectable material, and a cover including a material delivery system and a material access device. The cover is configured to be mated over the base to result in alignment of the material access device with the material transport device to allow the material delivery system to deliver the injectable materials from within the material transport device to a patient. A priming cap may be provided to facilitate priming of the material delivery system and material access device to be substantially airless.

An endotracheal safety device comprising an endotracheal tube having a proximal end and a distal end, the endotracheal tube defining a lumen between the proximal end and the distal end, an endotracheal sleeve assembly having a proximal end and a distal end, the endotracheal sleeve assembly defining a lumen between the proximal end and the distal end, the endotracheal sleeve assembly configured to be movable over the endotracheal tube, and an adapter having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end of the adapter configured to be received by the proximal end of the endotracheal sleeve assembly.

A wound dressing is selectively configurable for use in a pressure gradient wound therapy system and for use without a pressure gradient wound therapy system. The wound dressing can include a covering layer, an aperture and a base plate. the base plate can be configured to sealingly receive a connector part.

Systems, products, compounds and methods can be applied and/or used by a person to facilitate and promote the production of nitric oxide to be used by a person for health benefits. The systems, products, and devices include a nitric oxide nasal delivery system. The system can comprise one or more containers for compounds that when mixed are adapted to produce nitric oxide gas, at least one container with a nitrite compound and at least one container with an acid compound. Containers can be ruptured so that the compounds may be mixed and produce nitric oxide gas. The nitric oxide gas may then be delivered to a user via one or more of the nasal cavities and/or mouth.

One aspect of the invention relates to an intubation aid (10). The intubation aid (10) comprises an elongated main part (12), and the intubation aid (10) is provided with an operating device (26). The main part (12) is designed to be curved in a first region (18) of the main part (12), and the main part (12) is additionally designed to be curved in a second region (20) of the main part (12), said second region being separated from the first region (18) and being arranged adjacently to the free end (16) of the main part (12). The main part (12) additionally comprises a positioning device (24) which is designed to limit a translational displacement of a tube (46) placed on the intubation aid (10) in at least one direction. A second aspect of the invention relates to an intubation aid which can be placed on an endoscope.

The present disclosure provides an aerosol delivery device and a cartridge for an aerosol delivery device. The cartridge can comprise a body defining a reservoir and defining an aerosol pathway in fluid communication with an aerosol outlet. The cartridge can further include one or more of an air entry, a splitter configured to split air entering the air entry into a plurality of air passages, an atomizer, and an aerosol forming chamber where air from the plurality of air passages is configured to mix with vapor formed by the heater to form an aerosol. Preferably, the aerosol forming chamber can be in fluid connection with the aerosol pathway. The present disclosure further can include a control device configured to receive, power, and control aerosol formation by the cartridge.
