Multifunction oxygen mask
A multifunction oxygen mask comprises a mask body and a gas delivery adapter. A nasal chamber is formed in the upper portion of the mask body. An access aperture is formed through and adjacent to a lower portion of the mask body. The access aperture permits access to the mouth of a patient. The gas delivery adapter includes a first end coupled to a gas delivery adapter aperture of the mask body. An oxygen supply port radially extends outward from the gas delivery adapter. The oxygen supply port includes an external inlet portion, an outlet portion positioned within the gas delivery adapter, and a diverter member adjacent to the outlet portion. The diverter member is configured to direct a flow towards the first end of the gas delivery adapter. A meter-dose inhaler port radially extends outward from the gas delivery adapter. The gas delivery adapter includes a nebulizer port.

A HAND-HELD, DIRECTIONAL, MULTI- FREQUENCY PROBE FOR SPINAL NEEDLE PLACEMENT
A predictive needle insertion device including a needle having a proximal needle end and a distal needle end is disclosed. A probe is movably coupled to the needle such that the probe is capable of extending beyond the distal needle end. An actuator is operable to actuate the probe to apply a mechanical force to a tissue composition. A force sensor and position sensor are configured to determine a resistive force of the tissue composition and an insertion distance of the probe, respectively. A processor is communicatively coupled to the force sensor and the position sensor, and is configured to receive sensor data indicative of a mechanical response to the mechanical force and the insertion distance of the probe, and to implement a predictive model that, based on the sensor data, predicts a forward distance to a remote position of a remote tissue portion of the tissue composition.
Ultrasound assisted catheter placement system
A deep vein intravenous introducer has a wheel located toward the front end of the device that can be rotated by the index finger of the user. After placement of the needle in the lumen of the vessel, the user rotates the wheel, which advances the wire guide through the center of the needle and into the patient. Once the guide wire is advanced into the vessel lumen the catheter can be advanced over the guide wire with a hub or finger tab on the catheter close to the index finger. The operation can be performed by one hand without moving the hand from its initial position. The user can then simultaneously use the other hand to operate an ultrasound detection device during insertion without the assistance of another person.
Personal Air Management Methods and Systems for Reducing or Blocking Exposure to Airborne Pathogens
The present specification, in some embodiments, describes a personal wear device that direct the flow of air away from a person's face, reducing or blocking the flow of infectious pathogens towards a patient's naso-oral area thus reducing the risk of inhalation of infectious or noxious pathogens. In another embodiment, the present specification describes a personal air management mask system for use by a patient for reducing or preventing exposure to and inhalation of infected aerosol during a medical procedure.
