摘要:
Embodiments are disclosed of a method of controlling timing and/or dosage of a transdermal drug patch. For example, a control device operative to move the patch to one or more of a plurality of operational relationships with a skin of a patient, including being fully engaged with the skin, partially engaged with the skin, and disengaged with the skin. The device may include a roller that peels a patch on and off the skin. Optionally a convention patch is used. In some embodiments a patch and/or an adaptor has a mobile zone and an immobile zone. In some embodiments, an active surface of the patch fully contacts the skin in an engaged state. For example the patch may be attached to the device on a passive portion thereof.

A packaging assembly comprises a case configured to at least partially contain a plurality of injection devices for delivering a medicament; a light sensor configured to detect light incident on the packaging assembly; and a status indicator configured to generate an output which indicates a status of the packaging assembly conditional on an intensity of light detected by the light sensor exceeding a threshold light intensity.
摘要:
A device and associated method for the dispensation of mists for therapeutic use, comprising: a dispensing member (2) for dispensing an air flow (3) within which micronized particles of a liquid or solid therapeutic substance are dispersed; a chamber (11) having at least one inlet (12) for said air flow (3) generated by the dispensing member (2) and at least one outlet (13) for said air flow (3) present inside the chamber (11) itself; and a communication conduit (10) interposed between said dispensing member (2) and said chamber (11) in order to introduce the air flow (3) into the chamber (11) itself; said chamber (11) being switchable between an operative condition of maximum volume in which it internally defines a space (20) for containing at least one user, and a non-operative condition of minimum volume suitable for transport and/or storage.
摘要:
A medical suction & irrigation system used for removing bodily fluid and debris from a surgical site and particularly a hand-held medical device that utilizes suction tips and suction/irrigation tips during medical procedures. The system features use of a fully disposable suction and irrigation devices. This system comprises a series of devices which includes a universal handle member, interchangeable tip members, a storage member, and a receptacle member. This system will improve the workflow of users at all skill levels while integrating seamlessly into existing common practice. It is a fully integrated and optimized system which recognizes and utilizes the interaction between two distinct user groups with the overall benefit of reducing procedural times and increasing patient safety.
摘要:
The present invention provides a new inhaler device for the storage and administration of inhalable liquids to a patient offering one or more advantages or improvements over known inhalers, particularly inhalers for the delivery of halogenated volatile liquids such as methoxyflurane for use as an analgesic.
摘要:
A system for performing simultaneous ventilation and resuscitation of a patient includes an oxygen source, at least one inspiration control valve, a breathing apparatus, at least one expiration control valve, at least one indicator, and at least one timer. The breathing apparatus is configured to form an air seal with at least a portion of the patient's respiratory tract such that a gas including oxygen can flow from the oxygen source to the lungs. The at least one expiration control valve being configured to selectively actuate an exhalation valve. The at least one indicator for indicating when a rescuer should perform a chest compression. The at least one timer for synchronizing actuation of the at least one inspiration control valve, the at least one expiration control valve, and the indicator, thereby enabling continuous compressions to be provided to the patient while the patient undergoes inspiration and expiration.
摘要:
A carrying case (1) for a pharmaceutical injection device (21) administering a pharmaceutical to a living body includes a case unit (2, 20) and an electric charging device (3a). The case unit (2, 20) accommodates the pharmaceutical injection device (21). The electric charging device (3a) is mounted in the case unit (2, 20), includes an electric charging terminal (9) electrically connectable to the pharmaceutical injection device (21), and electrically charges the pharmaceutical injection device (21). The carrying case (1) can prevent troubles including such a situation that a user cannot charge the pharmaceutical injection device (21) while being out with the carrying case.
摘要:
Dose delivery device with partially or fully surrounding cover may be removed to open fluid communication with a dose chamber. The cover may allow an inhaler to be stored in sterile or otherwise in a controlled environment prior to use, and removal of the cover may automatically prepare the inhaler for use.
摘要:
The present invention provides a novel infusion set in which a spike (2) or a connector (12) for connection with an intravenous drip needle is covered by a cap (6, 7), arranged at which there is an opening configured so as to not allow passage therethrough of solid or liquid but so as to allow passage therethrough of gas at the interior of the cap, a hydrophobic filter (6b, 7b) being arranged at a location inward from where the tip of the spike or the connector for connection with an intravenous drip needle is inserted at the interior of the cap by way of an insertion port, and a lid (6d, 7d) at the exterior of said opening for closing said opening; and in which a three-way stopcock (5) having a primary tubing downstream branch connector (5a) equipped with a mechanism that connects in such fashion as to permit rotation about primary tubing as axis is provided; coloring optionally being applied thereto, as a result of which it is possible to carry out priming and backpriming by means of a simple operation without leakage of liquid, and it is possible to maintain stability of the infusion set and IV stand, to prevent bodily pain to patients and leakage of liquid at locations where intravenous needles are inserted, and to prevent occurrence of accidents due to human error with regard to administration procedures, and which makes it possible to easily establish standard procedures for use.
