The present disclosure relates to a capillary blood collecting device which includes a fixing device including an accommodating cavity for accommodating a blood collection finger and a squeezing member for squeezing blood to a fingertip site. The capillary blood collecting device is configured to detachably accommodate at least one skin puncture part on a blood collection side of the finger, and the skin puncture part includes a blood lancet that may be driven to puncture the blood collection finger, such that a sufficient amount of capillary blood quickly flows out from the capillary blood converged at the fingertip under the action of blood lancet.

Methods for obtaining a sample from a subject include providing a sample collection room. Samples may be small, e.g., a finger-stick. A method is provided for sample collection comprising: obtaining, in a sample collection room, a sample from said body part of said subject; monitoring activity in the sample collection room using at least two motion capture devices positioned to view a field of interest in the sample collection room; and alerting a technician performing the sample collection if a non-conforming action by the technician is detected by at least one of the motion capture devices.

A method for site assessments of a catheter insertion site and/or dressing includes: scanning the catheter insertion site and/or dressing with an image capture device and/or sensor; selecting a patient baseline site location and skin tone; recording a baseline condition using a computing device; determining a site assessment rate using a computing device; prompting a clinician to make a site assessment of the catheter insertion site and/or dressing using a computing device; and recording site assessment information in an electronic medical record using a computing device.

A cannula insertion system to insert a cannula into a human or animal body, includes: one or more sensors to determine a suitable location for insertion of the cannula, a cannula insertion device configured to insert the cannula into the human or animal body, a cannula insertion device positioning system to support and position the cannula insertion device, and a control device arranged to control the positioning system to position, on the basis of the determined location for insertion of the cannula, the cannula insertion device in a suitable position to insert the cannula into human or animal body, where the cannula insertion system includes a blood collection system to collect blood in one or more blood collection tubes supported by the blood collection system, where the blood collection system is movably arranged to at least partly follow movements of the cannula insertion device.

A body-insertion device for a body includes an adjustment unit for adjusting bevel orientation of a needle, and a moving unit for the needle. The moving unit supports a needle unit having the needle, the bevel orientation of which is adjusted by the adjustment unit; adjusts the needle unit to the orientation which is appropriate for body-insertion; and moves the needle unit for body-insertion.

An intravenous therapy system may include a hollow needle comprising a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end comprising a sharp tip for insertion into a vein; an infrared (IR) camera placed within a hollow portion of the hollow needle, including: an IR detector; a first light source to emit a first wavelength of IR light; and a second light source to emit a second wavelength of IR light; a comparator to, upon execution of a processor communicatively coupled to the comparator, compare an amount of reflected light received at the IR detector during activation of the first light and second light and provide an indication of light absorption within a vein.

According to one embodiment, an analysis apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry configured to generate a harmonic signal and a fundamental wave signal based on a reception signal that is collected by an ultrasound probe, the harmonic signal corresponding to a harmonic component of a reflected wave of a ultrasound generated in the subject, the fundamental wave signal corresponding to a fundamental wave component of the reflected wave, calculate a first index value indicating tissue properties of the subject based on the harmonic signal, and calculate a second index value indicating the tissue properties based on the fundamental wave signal, and display an analysis result based on the first index value and the second index value.

The present invention relates to an automatic invasive device for body and, more particularly, to an automatic invasive device for body comprising a body press unit capable of pressing a human body part to detect a puncturing position. The present invention also relates to an automatic invasive device for body comprising at least one of a rotatable probe unit, a vacuum tube driving unit, and a body contact material supply unit. The automatic invasive device for body according to the present invention comprises: a syringe needle unit support part that supports a syringe needle that enters the body; and a press unit (500) that presses the body that has a site to be subjected to an invasive procedure.

A venous positioning projector includes an infrared light source module, a light splitting element, an infrared light image capture module, a processor, and a visible light projection module. The infrared light source module outputs a first infrared light to a target surface. The infrared light image capture module includes a filter and an infrared light image capture element. The light splitting element transmits a second infrared light reflected by the target surface to the filter. The infrared light image capture element receives the second infrared light passing through the filter. The processor generates venous image data according to the first infrared light and the second infrared light received by the infrared light image capture element. The visible light projection module generates a visible light based on the venous image data. The visible light is transmitted to the target surface through the light splitting element to generate a venous image.

The present development is a method and device to monitor the salt level in a patient's blood without the need of laboratory facilities or intervention by medical personnel. The basic device is designed to measure the concentration of analytes, specifically sodium ion and potassium ion, in the patient's blood and to communicate the analyte level to the patient essentially instantaneously through a mobile monitor or display screen. In a variation, the device combines the analyte-concentration measuring function with a means for measuring the concentration of glucose in blood, and the blood analyte level and glucose level are displayed to the patient essentially instantaneously. Both the salt level device and the salt level+glucose level device may be further adapted to allow for the salt and glucose level data to be stored in a data storage base so the patient has an historical record of the concentration levels.
