A medical electrical equipment power tap has multiple sockets and a power cord with a maximum current rating. The power tap includes a display to indicate information related to an instantaneous current draw of the power tap. The power tap also includes an electrical circuit which determines whether the instantaneous current draw exceeds a predetermined maximum allowed current which is less than the maximum current rating. The display provides a visual indication when the power tap's current draw exceeds the maximum allowed value, signifying that at least one item of medical electrical equipment should be unplugged from the power tap. The electrical circuit includes a current loop which passes through a structural portion of the power tap's housing for independently gauging the instantaneous current draw using a clamp probe.

A portable retracting device for medical tubing management includes a housing. The housing includes a retractable cord disposed within the housing, wherein the retractable cord is configured to extend from a side of the housing. The device includes a first spring clamp configured to attach to clothing of an individual, a second spring clamp configured to clamp to the medical tube having a first diameter at a first location of the first medical tube, and a third spring clamp coupled to an end of the retractable cord configured to clamp the medical tube at a second location of the first medical tube to form a first loop in the first medical tube from the first location of the first medical tube to the second location of the first medical tube.

Respiratory diseases affect a large part of world population, especially in developing world. In this invention, we present a breathing support system to provide life-saving support to such patients. The system automates and regulates the use of a bag valve mask (commonly known as an ambu bag). The system uses mechanical actuators, sensors and a smart feedback control mechanism to automate and regulate the operation of the ambu bag to implement core functions of mechanical ventilation for life-saving applications. The system can also be used to provide better breathing support to newborns (e.g. to prevent hypoxia). The system can be used to save hundreds of thousands of lives in the developing world, in emergencies and during transportation globally.

A mechanical compressor system is provided for actuating a bag of a bag valve mask. Rotatable track supports are shaped so as to define respective non-circular closed-loop tracks. Each of one or more mechanical compressors includes two pins that protrude from two sides of the mechanical compressor and engage one of the closed-loop tracks. The mechanical compressors are slidingly coupled to one or more vertical sliders configured to limit the movement of the mechanical compressors to a vertical translational pattern. A bag-coupler is configured to couple the bag to the mechanical compressor system in contact with the mechanical compressors. A motor or a manual crank is arranged to rotate the rotatable track supports, such that the pins move along the closed-loop tracks, causing vertical motion of the mechanical compressors along the one or more vertical sliders, which controls a volume of the bag. Other embodiments are also described.
