ROTATABLE INFUSION DEVICE AND METHODS THEREOF
An infusion set that has a base having an opening to receive a cannula device, the base having a lower base part and an upper base part, wherein the upper base part is coupled to the lower base part and is rotatable relative to the lower base part and a connector that has a fluid connector tube. The connector prevents the upper base from substantially rotating relative to the lower base and the fluid connector tube is in fluid connection with the cannula device when the connector is coupled to the base.
Fluid handling devices
Quick disconnect fluid coupling devices described herein. The fluid couplings are configured for use in fluid systems for the purpose of providing a low-spill quick disconnect coupling. The fluid couplings include portions that are pivotable in relation to each other to open and close a fluid pathway through the fluid couplings. Particular embodiments of these fluid coupling can be configured to improve medical fluid handling equipment because the fluid coupling devices can be connected and disconnected (e.g., multiple times) while minimizing fluid spillage.
RESPIRATORY INTERFACE
Interfaces for positive pressure therapy having a mask assembly, a headgear assembly and a connection port assembly are disclosed herein. The connection port assembly has a ball joint connection with the mask assembly and includes a quick release button for easily disconnecting the gases source conduit from the mask assembly. The mask assembly may include a bias flow vent that is formed separately and attached to the mask assembly. The headgear assembly encircles the rear region of the user's head and may include at least some portions that are substantially non-stretchable.
Robotically powered surgical device with manually-actuatable reversing system
A surgical tool for use with a robotic system that includes a tool drive assembly that is operatively coupled to a control unit of the robotic system that is operable by inputs from an operator and is configured to robotically-generate output motions. A drive system is configured to interface with a corresponding portion of the tool drive assembly for receiving the robotically-generated output motions and applying the output motions to a drive shaft assembly which is configured to apply control motions to a surgical end effector operably coupled thereto. A manually-actuatable control system operably interfaces with the drive shaft assembly to facilitate the selective application of manually-generated control motions to the drive shaft assembly.
AN ADAPTER FOR A FACE MASK, AND AN INSTRUMENT SHIELDING APPARATUS FOR SHIELDING AN INSTRUMENT BEING ENTERED INTO A SUBJECT THROUGH A FACE MASK OR A TROCAR
A face mask (90) comprises an instrument shielding apparatus (91) which comprises an instrument shielding device (92) which is connected to the face mask (90) by an adapter (89). The adapter (89) comprises an instrument accommodating housing (15) through which an instrument bore (25) extends therethrough. The instrument accommodating housing (15) terminates at one end in a first main port (20) engageable with an instrument port (7) of the face mask (90), and in the other end in a second main port (23). The instrument shielding device (92) comprises a shielding sleeve (95) a first end (96) of which is secured by a coupling ring (98) to the second main port (23) of the adapter (89), and a second end (97) of which is secured in a storage chamber (94) of a sleeve storing housing (93) of the instrument shielding device (92). The sleeve storing housing (93) is sealably engageable with a proximal end (58) of an endoscope (10), and the shielding sleeve extends from a collapsed stored state in the storage chamber (94) to the adapter (89) for shielding the endoscope (10).

Flushing apparatus for injection of hazardous medicinal liquid, and hazardous medicinal liquid injection apparatus
A flushing apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a main body configured to connect a connection pipe for guiding a hazardous medicinal liquid harmful to a human body when exposed to an ambient air and a patient connection module for injecting the hazardous medicinal liquid into a patient, the main body configured to form a first flow path for guiding the hazardous medicinal liquid from the connection pipe to the patient connection module, the main body including a flushing portion forming a second flow path connected to a predetermined connection point located between both ends of the first flow path; and a flow rate reduction part disposed at upstream side of the connection point in the first flow path and configured to reduce a flow rate of the hazardous medicinal liquid flowing through the first flow path. The present disclosure shows various embodiments of the flushing apparatus.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MIXING SYRINGE VALVE ASSEMBLIES
A syringe mixing system is provided for housing and mixing contents between at least two syringes. In some embodiments, a syringe coupler is provided that receives first and second syringes and includes a valve member that is convertible between a closed position and an open position. Retention systems for preventing or inhibiting removal of at least one syringe after use are also provided.
Pivotable outlet port
An apparatus for providing a pressurised flow of breathable gas to the airways of a patient includes a pivotable outlet port structured and arranged to connect to an air delivery tube configured to pass the pressurised flow of breathable gas to a patient interface. The pivotable outlet port is able to pivot about at least one axis.
INTEGRATED HUMIDIFIER CHAMBER AND LID
A blower unit for use as part of an integrated blower/humidification system is described. The blower unit has an outer casing, which encloses and forms part of the blower unit, the casing including an air inlet vent. The blower unit further includes a humidifier compartment for receiving a humidifier unit with a separate gases inlet and outlet, the compartment having a heater base for heating the contents of the humidifier unit. The compartment also has a blower inlet port which aligns with the humidifier unit inlet in use, the blower providing a gases path through the casing between the inlet vent and the inlet port. The blower unit also includes a fan for providing a pressurised gases stream along the gases path, and a power supply unit for powering the fan. The gases path is routed over the power supply unit in order to provide a cooling air flow.
