SYSTEM FOR MANAGING INHALANT AND BREATH ANALYSIS DEVICES
A computer-based system for receiving, analyzing, processing, managing and sending personal health information, and other information in conjunction with use of one or more personal nebulizer or vaporizing devices and personal breath analysis devices. System devices include a personal nebulizer or vaporizing unit with a mouthpiece, which may be detachable and replaceable. The mouthpiece includes an orifice through which vapor is emitted. The substance to be vaporized is contained in an ampoule inserted into the device, where the substance enters an atomization chamber where vaporization is achieved through piezoelectric transducers or atomizers providing sonic or ultrasonic vibration. The substance includes a variety of therapeutic, homeopathic, or naturopathic formulations, remedies, or serums.
ANTIMICROBIAL LIGHT-EMITTING OROPHARYNGEAL DEVICE FOR VENTILATOR-ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA
A method of reducing the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia by decontaminating the oropharynx using a safe, antimicrobial light-emitting device.
SELF-CLEANING ELECTRIC NASAL ASPIRATOR
Provided is a self-cleaning electric nasal aspirator. The self-cleaning electric nasal aspirator includes a suction assembly. The suction assembly includes a suction nozzle and a storage compartment. The suction nozzle is in communication with the storage compartment. The storage compartment is configured to temporarily store nasal mucus sucked out through the suction nozzle. The suction assembly further includes a suction compartment and a storage compartment cover. The storage compartment cover is disposed at an upper end of the storage compartment. A liquid storage space is formed by being enclosed by the storage compartment cover and the storage compartment. The suction compartment is sleeved outside the storage compartment and the storage compartment cover. The self-cleaning electric nasal aspirator can prevent nasal mucus from overflowing to the surface of the self-cleaning electric nasal aspirator and has a self-cleaning function.
FOLEY CATHETER AND CORRESPONDING TRAY PACKAGING SYSTEM
A medical procedure kit includes a first tray. A second tray situates atop the first tray. The second tray includes preformed compartments configured to receive and house a plurality of medical implements. A Foley catheter positioned within a Foley catheter compartment of the plurality of preformed compartments of the second tray. A drainage system stowed within an interior of the first tray. A third tray can be situated atop the second tray. The second tray can include a plurality of catheter retention devices. A planar substrate can be positioned beneath the first tray. A Foley catheter compartment can define a barrier wall extending across a majority of its length. A cutout in the second tray and another cutout in the first tray can be positioned at opposite ends of the kit. These features can be used alone or in combination, and many can even be applied to a single-layer tray.
Control method for treadmill
A treadmill may include two separate left and right belts rotating around two sets of rollers, four legs having an adjustable height via air suspension to customize an inclination of the treadmill, a thermoelectric assembly, a fragrance assembly having a rotating fragrance cartridge to emit various smells toward a user of the treadmill, a display on which exercise programs are played, and an attachment module having a dispensing tray on which treats are dispensed. A handle of the treadmill may have a sensor to sense a height and front-rear position, and a belt divider provided between the left and right belts may have position or proximity sensors to sense a left-right position. An inclination of the treadmill may be automatically adjusted according to positions detected by the sensors, and the fragrance assembly, attachment module, and inclination may be automatically operated in accordance with an exercise program played on the display.
Portable and storable treadmill having handle
A treadmill may include two separate left and right belts rotating around two sets of rollers, four legs having an adjustable height via air suspension to customize an inclination of the treadmill, a thermoelectric assembly, a fragrance assembly having a rotating fragrance cartridge to emit various smells toward a user of the treadmill, a display on which exercise programs are played, and an attachment module having a dispensing tray on which treats are dispensed. A handle of the treadmill may have a sensor to sense a height and front-rear position, and a belt divider provided between the left and right belts may have position or proximity sensors to sense a left-right position. An inclination of the treadmill may be automatically adjusted according to positions detected by the sensors, and the fragrance assembly, attachment module, and inclination may be automatically operated in accordance with an exercise program played on the display.
Treadmill having fragrance assembly
A treadmill may include two separate left and right belts rotating around two sets of rollers, four legs having an adjustable height via air suspension to customize an inclination of the treadmill, a thermoelectric assembly, a fragrance assembly having a rotating fragrance cartridge to emit various smells toward a user of the treadmill, a display on which exercise programs are played, and an attachment module having a dispensing tray on which treats are dispensed. A handle of the treadmill may have a sensor to sense a height and front-rear position, and a belt divider provided between the left and right belts may have position or proximity sensors to sense a left-right position. An inclination of the treadmill may be automatically adjusted according to positions detected by the sensors, and the fragrance assembly, attachment module, and inclination may be automatically operated in accordance with an exercise program played on the display.
LIQUID DRUG CARTRIDGES AND ASSOCIATED DISPENSER
Liquid drug cartridges and an associated inhaler are used to deliver one more separate doses of an aerosolized liquid drug. A cartridge includes a container for storing the liquid drug, an end cap having an ejection opening, a filter element, and a piston that is repositionable relative to the container to selectively eject a volume of liquid drug from the ejection opening. The filter element filters the liquid drug prior to ejection from the ejection opening. The liquid drug cartridge can be coupled with an inhaler that includes an aerosol generator. The aerosol generator includes a vibratable membrane onto which the liquid drug is ejected. The liquid drug is aerosolized by the vibration of the membrane for inhalation by a user.
Systems and methods for removal of blood and thrombotic material
A system for aspirating thrombus includes a catheter having a supply lumen having a distal end and an aspiration lumen configured to couple to a vacuum source and having an interior wall surface and an open distal end, an orifice at or near the distal end of the supply lumen, in fluid communication with the interior of the aspiration lumen, the orifice located proximally of the open distal end of the aspiration lumen, wherein the orifice is configured to create a spray pattern that impinges on the interior wall surface of the aspiration lumen when a distal end of the aspiration catheter is immersed within an aqueous environment, and a disposable tubing set having a first conduit configured to couple the supply lumen of the aspiration catheter to a fluid source, and a pump component associated with the first conduit and configured to detachably couple to a drive unit.
PERSONAL RESPIRATORY ISOLATION SYSTEM
A personal respiratory isolation system (PRIS) provides a personal, negative pressure environment for a patient or user that reduces contamination and spread of pathogens exhaled by the patient into the environment. The PRIS includes an enclosure to receive the patient's head (such as a hood and a drape) and a negative pressure source which draws ambient air into the interior of the enclosure and draws air within the enclosure's interior (including the exhalations of the patient, including any contaminants and/or pathogens) out of the enclosure via a fluid port into a container for biohazard processing or disposal. The PRIS may allow positive air pressure therapeutic treatments to be delivered to the patient within the negative pressure environment, and the PRIS may maintain a constant pressure within the interior of the enclosure. The PRIS may include a transparent, hinged face shield for ease of patient observation and/or access.
