Abstract: A drainage liquid sampling system is disclosed and includes a connector couplable with a drainage tube of a drainage system, the connector defining an inlet port, an outlet port, and a sample port, where the inlet port, the outlet port, and the sample port are in fluid communication with each other, and a sample container couplable with the sample port. A valve within the connector selectively allows and prevents flow of drainage liquid into the sample container. A cap couplable to the sample container also includes a valve. A system for draining liquid from a patient includes the drainage liquid sampling system.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to apparatus and methods for automatic fluid flow system connectors. The system generally includes a load cell interface coupled to a console and a ring connector coupled to a fluid collection system. The ring connector can be releasably engaged with the load cell using an engagement structure such as a latch, locking arm, or spring clip mechanism. The ring connector and load cell can include electrical contacts configured to engage along an axis that extends perpendicular to a surface that the electrical contacts are disposed on. Advantageously, reduced wear on the electrical contacts should extend the usable life of the system.

Abstract: A sheath assembly for use with an endoscope and an endoscope that includes the sheath assembly. The sheath assembly can include an elongate tubular sheath configured to thread onto a shaft of the endoscope. The sheath can include a pliable segment at a distal end of the sheath, and a tensile filament extends along a circumference of the pliable segment. The tensile filament can form a cinching loop at a distal end of the pliable segment. The sheath can be displaceable along the endoscope between a retracted position and an extended position. The pliable segment can extend distally beyond a distal end of the endoscope to form a chamber, and proximal displacement of the tensile filament tightens the cinching loop to convert the chamber from an open configuration to a closed configuration.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to apparatus and methods for automatic fluid flow system connectors. The system generally includes a load cell interface coupled to a console and a ring connector coupled to a fluid collection system. The ring connector can be releasably engaged with the load cell using a bayonet locking mechanism. One of the ring connector or the load cell can include a plate transitionable along a transverse axis between an engaged position and a disengaged as the ring connector rotates about a transverse axis. The plate can include electrical contacts configured to engage along the transverse axis and mitigate wear and damage to the electrical contacts, extending the usable life of the system.

Abstract: A medical instrument is disclosed that includes an elongate flexible shaft, a plurality of optical fibers extending along the length, and a laser control module coupled with the optical fibers. The instrument is configured for insertion into a patient body and/or into a working channel of an endoscope (e.g., ureteroscope). The instrument is configured for ablation of body tissue and/or a foreign substance within the body. The optical fibers can define a cross-sectional diameter within a range of 50 μm to 150 μm. Three or more of the optical fibers can be bundled together defining a circumscribed circle having a cross-sectional diameter less than 500 μm. Some optical fibers are peripherally disposed along the shaft and are configured to direct light radially outward. A lumen extending along the length of the shaft is coupled with fluid port coupled with the shaft.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to apparatus and methods for automatic fluid flow system connectors. The system generally includes a load cell interface coupled to a console and a ring connector coupled to a fluid collection system. The ring connector can be releasably engaged with the load cell using a push-button actuated locking mechanism. Embodiments of the locking mechanism can include a latch and aperture engagement, a shelf and ledge engagement, or a track and channel engagement, or combinations thereof. The ring connector and load cell can include electrical contacts configured to engage along an axis that extends perpendicular to a surface on which the electrical contacts are disposed. This is believed to reduce wear on the electrical contacts, thereby extending the usable life of the system.
