    摘要: A head unit for a personal protection system is described. Said head unit is configured for use with a hood that includes a face shield and comprises a head band shaped to be worn around the head of a wearer, said head band having a front section worn above the face of the wearer and a rear section opposite the front section. The head unit further comprises a front nozzle attached to said head band so as to be located forward of the head band front section, a rear nozzle attached to said head band rear section and a ventilation unit located above the head band. Said ventilation unit includes a shell and a fan disposed in said shell for drawing air into said shell. A first support extends upwardly from the head band to said ventilation unit shell for supporting said ventilation unit above the head of the wearer. A front conduit extends between the ventilation unit and the front nozzle, a rear conduit extends between the ventilation unit and the rear nozzle, and at least one fastening member is attached to the head band for suspending a hood over the head unit so that a face shield integral with the hood is disposed forward of the head band front section and the front nozzle. The first support is adapted to flex relative to the head band. The head unit further comprises a fastening assembly integral with the ventilation unit shell and the first support, the fastening assembly adapted to hold the ventilation unit to the first support at a plurality of different locations along said first support so that the position of said ventilation unit relative to the front nozzle is adjustable. The front conduit is adjustable in at least one of length or angle so that, when the position of said ventilation unit relative to said front nozzle is adjusted, said front conduit maintains a connection between said ventilation unit and said front nozzle, and the rear conduit is adjustable in at least one of length or angle so that, when the position of said ventilation unit relative to said rear nozzle is adjusted, said rear nozzle maintains a connection between said shell and said rear nozzle.

    摘要: A cassette (1700, 2600) for use with a medical waste collection system (30) is disclosed including at least one canister (36, 38) for receiving waste, and a receptacle (1699) connected to the at least one canister (36, 38). The cassette comprises a housing (1702, 1705, 2602, 2612) shaped for insertion into the receptacle, the housing having opposed proximal and distal ends and a housing void space (2604); a fitting (1734, 2664) shaped to receive a suction line (50), the fitting connected to the housing so that fluid drawn through the suction line flows into the housing void space; an outlet opening (1770) in the proximal end of the housing through which fluid is configured to flow from the housing void space through receptacle to the at least one canister; and a sleeve (1726, 2640) shaped to define: a sleeve void space (1727, 2652); and a first sleeve opening (1729, 2027) between the outside and the void space; and a second sleeve opening (1725, 2666) between the sleeve void space and the housing void space. The fitting is attached to the sleeve so that the fitting opens into the sleeve void space. The cassette further comprises a screen (1890, 2741) shaped to be removably inserted into the sleeve void space through the first sleeve opening and to be positioned between the fitting and the sleeve second opening so that fluid entering the sleeve void space flows through the fitting and across the screen; and a cap (1862, 2704) shaped to be removably attached to the sleeve to cover the first sleeve opening. The sleeve is attached to the housing adjacent the distal end of the housing so that when the housing is inserted in the receptacle, the sleeve is located forward of the receptacle so as to be visible, and wherein the sleeve is formed from at least partially transparent material so that the sleeve void space is visible.

    摘要: A specimen collection assembly (1700, 2000, 2600) configured for use with a medical fluid collection system (30) is disclosed which includes a housing (1701, 2001) configured for removable attachment to the fluid collection system (30); a first fitting (1734, 2664) attached to the housing (1701, 2001) and shaped to receive a suction line (50) that extends from a medical/surgical site; an outlet opening (1770, 2606) provided in the housing (1701, 2001) and through which, in use, fluid drawn through the first fitting (1734, 2664) flows through the housing (1701, 2001) and into the fluid collection system (30); and a porous screen (1890, 1914, 2741) configured to be disposed in the housing (1701, 2001) between the first fitting (1734, 2664) and the outlet opening (1770, 2606) for trapping material entrained in the fluid flow through the housing (1701, 2001). A supplemental opening (1729, 2030) is provided in the housing (1701, 2001), wherein the supplemental opening (1729, 2020) is separate from the outlet opening (1770, 2606) and opens into a first void space (1727, 2652) internal to the housing (1701, 2001). The first fitting (1734, 2664) opens into the first void space (1727, 2652) and there is a fluid path from the first void space (1727, 2652) to the housing outlet opening (1770, 2606). A first cap (1900, 1850, 2702) is configured for removable attachment to the housing (1701) so as to seat over the supplemental opening (1729, 2030), wherein the first cap (1900, 1850, 2702) has the porous screen (1890, 1914, 2741) shaped to occupy the first void space (1727, 2652, 2027) so that, when the first cap (1900, 1850, 2702) is disposed over the supplemental opening (1729, 2030) and in use, fluid that flows from the first fitting (1734) through the first void space (1727, 2652) to the outlet opening (1770, 2606) flows across the porous screen (1890, 1914, 2741). A second cap (1862, 1741) is configured for removable attachment to the housing (1701, 2001) so as to seat over the supplemental opening (1729, 2030), wherein the second cap (1862, 1741) does not have a screen so that, when the second cap (1862, 1741) is seated over the supplemental opening (1729, 2030) and in use, fluid that flows from the first fitting (1734) through the first void space (1727, 2652) is not filtered in the first void space (1727, 2652). A second fitting (1732, 2616) is attached to the housing (1701, 2001) and is shaped to receive a suction line, wherein the second fitting (1732, 2616) opens into a space (1704, 2604) in the housing (1701, 2001) other than the first void space (1727, 2652) and is in fluid communication with the outlet opening (1770, 2606).
