    摘要: A manifold for collecting a tissue sample through a suction line is described. The manifold includes a housing defining a manifold volume, an inlet bore in fluid communication with the manifold volume and adapted to be in fluid communication with the suction line, and an outlet opening adapted to be in fluid communication with a suction source to provide a suction path from the suction line to the outlet opening through the manifold volume. The manifold further comprises a tray defining a tissue collecting cavity and porous features in communication with the tissue collecting cavity. The tray is adapted to be removably coupled with the housing. Further, the manifold comprises a filter element disposed within the housing in the suction path, wherein the housing includes a cap portion and a body portion removably coupled to one another such that the filter element is accessible to retrieve the tissue sample.

    摘要: A medical waste collection system for collecting medical waste material through a manifold during a medical procedure comprises: a waste container; a receiver coupled to the waste container and comprising a housing defining an opening into which the manifold is configured to be inserted in a proximal direction and removed in a distal direction opposite the proximal direction. The receiver comprises a sled assembly movably coupled to the housing and configured to be engaged by the manifold during insertion of the manifold into the receiver; a locking assembly comprising: a locking member having an engagement surface; a release member coupled to the locking member; a biasing element biasing the locking assembly to a locked configuration in which the engagement surface engages the manifold in a fully inserted operative position to prevent distal movement of the manifold and the sled assembly; and an actuator coupled to the release member and configured to receive an input from a user to move the locking assembly from the locked configuration to an unlocked configuration in which the engagement surface disengages from the manifold to permit the distal movement of the manifold and the sled assembly.

    摘要: A waste collection unit (100) for collecting waste material through a suction line (S) during a medical procedure comprises a waste container (102, 104) configured to be in fluid communication with the suction line to collect the waste material during the medical procedure. Said waste container defines a collection chamber (116, 122) and a vacuum port (VP). The waste collection unit further comprises a vacuum source comprising a vacuum pump (132) in selective communication with said vacuum port of said waste container for providing a vacuum in said waste container to draw the waste material into said waste container through the suction line. Said vacuum source defines a vacuum passage (194) to carry air through said vacuum source, wherein said vacuum passage has a vacuum inlet (133) for receiving the air and a vacuum outlet (134) for directing the air from said vacuum source. The waste collection unit further comprises a sound attenuating enclosure (140) in which said vacuum source is disposed. Said sound attenuating enclosure defines an enclosure inlet (190) for receiving cooling air to cool the vacuum source and an enclosure outlet (206) for discharging warmed cooling air from said sound attenuating enclosure. Said sound attenuating enclosure substantially surrounds said vacuum pump and comprises a first section (142, 144, 146, 148, 150, 152) at least partially formed of a first sound-absorbing material configured to attenuate noise generated by said vacuum source during operation, said first section having an interior surface with geometric features formed therein to accommodate said vacuum source and define a cooling air path (CP) for the cooling air. Said geometric features comprise a pocket (155, 158) in said interior surface for receiving a portion of said vacuum pump, and a seat (156) against which said vacuum pump abuts.
