Sleeves and cases for protecting medical devices against contamination, and methods for cleaning and disinfecting medical devices are provided. The various embodiments enable a single medical device to be used by more than one patient successively while reducing the risk of disease transmission from patient to patient.

Method for sterilising a body fluid drainage system for handling a body fluid ex vivo. The body fluid drainage system comprises a chamber. The method comprises the steps providing a container containing a surface protective fluid to be released into the chamber of the body fluid drainage system, subjecting the container to radiation sterilisation, inserting the container into the chamber of the body fluid drainage system, and subjecting the chamber containing the container to gas sterilisation. A body fluid drainage system for handling a body fluid ex vivo. The body fluid drainage system comprises a chamber. The body fluid drainage system further comprises a container containing a surface protective fluid. The container is arranged to release the surface protective fluid into the chamber. The surface protective fluid is sterilised by radiation sterilisation. An outer surface of the container and at least the chamber of the body fluid drainage system is sterilised by gas sterilisation.

Provided is a sensor unit (104) for detecting an analyte (128) in an aqueous medium. The sensor unit comprises a surface (124) for receiving the aqueous medium thereon. Capture species (126) immobilized on the surface reversibly bind the analyte. A detector (130) detects the analyte when the analyte is bound to the capture species. The sensor unit further comprises an electrolysis assembly (132). The electrolysis assembly comprises a plurality of spatially separated electrically conductive areas (134) on the surface, and a power supply (136) for supplying a voltage across at least two of the electrically conductive areas. The voltage is sufficient to electrolyse the aqueous medium received on the surface. Further provided is a body fluid monitoring device (101) comprising the sensor unit, and a method for detecting an analyte.

In certain aspects, devices and methods for an oral appliance holder that can detect analyte information originating from oral appliances stored in the appliance holder. The analyte information can be derived from found in volatilized compounds detected within the appliance holder. The appliance holder can directly or indirectly communicate with a server that is configured to process the analyte information. The analyte information can be processed to develop a wellness profile.

The described embodiments relate to a sensor patch that can be temporarily removed and re-applied in the same location using a side element of the sensor patch. The side element can be folded onto the sensor patch when the sensor patch is adhered to an object such as an appendage of a person. The side element can be unfolded and adhered to the appendage in order to preserve the placement of the sensor patch on the appendage. In this way, maintenance such as cleaning can be performed on the area where the sensor patch is located without having to dispose of the sensor patch. Once maintenance is completed, the side element can be folded back onto a surface of the sensor patch until maintenance is to be performed again.

The proposed combination device combines any tonometric metrology with a drug application to administer glaucoma medication on an eye. Several technical concepts are proposed and exemplary embodiments for rebound tonometry and air-puff tonometry are shown. However other methods such as optical coherence elastography (OCE) could also be used. The Solutions provide home care tonometry offerings which host the capability to administer glaucoma medication.
