摘要:
A thermal system for preserving tissue is disclosed. The cooling system comprises a base member, a temperature control sleeve constructed of a thermally conductive material, and a selectively removable lid member. The base member defines a reservoir and receives the temperature control sleeve. The temperature control sleeve at least partially defines a tissue collector chamber that is configured to receive a tissue collector. The temperature control sleeve is in communication with the reservoir. The reservoir is configured to receive a cooling medium. A slit formed within the tissue collection chamber that is sized to receive a tubing connected to the tissue collector therethrough. The lid member is configured to be selectively attached to the base member, and permit access to a tube mount for the tissue collector when the lid is attached to the base member.

Various embodiments of systems and methods for collection and disposal of infectious and medical waste are disclosed. An embodiment includes a system (20) with a body having a chamber that receives a container of medical waste. The chamber may include a canister that has limited access to the interior of the canister for safe collection of sharps material. The chamber may have at least one plate heater coupled thereto for providing heat to the chamber and plurality of fins on the chamber to assist in cooling the chamber.
摘要:
This invention discloses a thermal envelope including a pouch and a flap that closes the pouch and a thermal capacitance material that lines the pouch, wherein the thermal capacitance material has an initial temperature in a temperature range of -5 DEG C to 20 DEG C, characterized by the thermal capacitance material having a thermal capacitance that maintains a temperature of the medical sample placed in the pouch within the temperature range during a period of time not more than 7 hours from the time the medical sample was placed in the pouch. A method for sending a medical sample from a sampling site to a laboratory is also disclosed.
摘要:
A system is disclosed for monitoring and controlling a refrigerated medical storage unit. The system may include a control station. The control station may receive temperature information from the refrigerated medical storage unit and may cause at least a portion of the temperature information to be stored. The control station may determine whether the temperature is outside a predefined range and may causes an alarm to be generated when the temperature is outside the predefined range. The control station may receive user authentication information from a user, and upon verification of the user authentication information, send unlock instructions to the refrigerated medical storage unit.

摘要:
Un dispositif pour la liaison d'éléments comprend :
une pièce de liaison (1) comprenant une partie centrale et au moins deux parties d'ancrage (2, 3) liées rigidement à la partie centrale, au moins une partie de la pièce étant réalisée en un matériau à mémoire de forme ; et un appareil de conditionnement comprenant un support (5) incluant des logements (7, 8) adaptés pour recevoir respectivement lesdites parties d'ancrage (3, 4) lorsque ces dites parties d'ancrage sont dans des positions d'éloignement maximum les unes par rapport aux autres.
摘要:
A package for a medical device, the package capable of sustaining viable cells, wherein the package includes a first container, which is configured to receive a medical device and to sustain at least one viable cell, and a fluid port in communication with the first container for allowing sterile passage of an agent to the medical device and for maintaining cell viability.
摘要:
A reusable container for transporting temperature controlled items, which includes an outer case including a lid, and an insulating layer substantially inside the outer case and the lid. A generally rigid well is located inside the insulating later. At least one cooling element is provided, which is capable of maintaining temperature within a prescribed temperature range for predetermined periods of time, the cooling element being disposed within the well and at least partially defining a receptacle area. A caddy can be located in the receptacle area, at least partially surrounded by the cooling element, and is designed to accommodate at least one item to be transported. The cooling element may include a phase change material sealed within a plastic surround, and is designed to be separately removable and freezable prior to use. Temperature logging and/or location logging devices may be included.
摘要:
A small case in the form of a vanity case is fitted with an electric cooling unit (133) having a Peltier element integrated into a wall section (123) of the case in such a way that the cold side (149) is in communication with the inside of the case and the hot side with the outer atmosphere. It is possible with such a small case safely to transport and store heat-sensitive products, e.g. immediately required supplies of medicaments and/or cosmetics, even when outside temperatures are high. The case (110) is small, light and easy to handle and can attain a temperature substantially below body temperature.
