    摘要: An automatic fluid flow measuring system for detecting a fluid weight change of a fluid collection system includes a load cell configured to detect a downward force and a ring connector configured to releasably couple to the load cell. The load cell can include a plate movable along a transverse axis orthogonal to a face of the plate. The plate can include a first electrical contact. The ring connector is configured to transition between an unlocked position and a locked position on the load cell. The ring connector can include a second electrical contact configured to communicate with the first electrical contact in the locked position.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods directed to an assisted fluid drainage system including one or more ejector vacuum pumps disposed in-line with the drainage tube. The one or more pumps can use a venturi effect vacuum pump to draw a fluid in and urge the fluid through the drainage tube to prevent the formation of dependent loops. Dependent loops can form within fluid drainage tubes when slack portions of tube create a positive incline. These dependent loops trap fluid and can create a retrograde flow, leading to various complications such as catheter associated urinary tract infections (“CAUTI”). Advantageously, the pumps can operate while the drainage lumen remains in fluid communication with the catheter. As such the pumps can operate continuously to prevent dependent loops from establishing.

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a dynamic response drainage and occlusion system configured to drain a fluid from a patient. The drainage system includes an input airflow device to provide airflow into the drainage lumen, a pressure sensor to measure pressure within the drainage tube, and an output airflow device to provide airflow out of the drainage tube. A controller including control logic configured to acquire pressure data from the pressure sensor, determine a running pressure rate-of-change from the acquired pressure data, compare the running pressure rate-of-change with a pressure rate-of-change defined by the control logic, and adjust an operating characteristic of at least one of the input airflow device and the output airflow device to move the running pressure rate-of-change toward the pressure rate-of-change defined by the control logic. The system further includes catheter occlusions systems to automatically protect the patient from pressure spikes within the system.

    摘要: A urinary drainage system can include an air pressure apparatus with a connector having an elongate connector body. The connector includes a lumen having a larger proximal lumen diameter and a smaller distal lumen diameter. The system includes an air intake adapter having an elongate adapter body, including a proximal end having a proximal opening configured to be coupled to the distal end of the connector. The adapter can include an air intake port in fluid communication with the adapter lumen, the adapter lumen having a larger proximal lumen diameter and a smaller distal lumen diameter.

    摘要: An optical fiber cable is disclosed that includes an outer jacket and a plurality of cores including a first core and a second core. A plurality of channels can extend outwardly from the second core toward the outer jacket. The outer jacket can include a material doped with a photoluminescent material configured to absorb energy from light propagating along the second core causing photoluminescence. The optical fiber cable may include cladding surrounding the first and second cores and the plurality of channels. The first core may propagate a first laser beam having wavelength of substantially 1940 nanometers while the second core and the plurality of channels may propagate a second laser beam having a wavelength of within the range of 360-830 nanometers. A system for providing a medical treatment including a first medical instrument optically coupled to the optical fiber cable is also disclosed.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is an apparatus and system directed to providing for a patients comfort while undergoing Targeted Temperature Management (TTM). A medical pad with the TTM can include a flexible upper sheet, a flexible base member, an adhesive surface, and an edge guard. The flexible base member can be interconnected to the flexible upper sheet to define a fluid containing layer including a plurality of tortuous fluid flow paths. The adhesive surface can be disposed on a skin-contacting side of the flexible upper sheet, and can be adapted for releasable adhesive contact with skin of the patient. The edge guard can include a pliant shock-absorbent material surrounding a portion of an edge of the flexible upper sheet, and can be configured to distribute pressure from the medical pad across a portion of the patients body in contact with a surface of the edge guard.
