Abstract: A thermal control unit for delivering temperature-controlled fluid to one or more patient therapy devices (e.g. pads, blankets, etc.) that are in contact with a patient is disclosed. The thermal control unit includes a fluid circuit with an inlet and outlet, a reservoir, a heat exchanger, a pump, and a controller. The thermal control also includes any one or more of the following: (1) an air eliminator with an air filter for filtering air vented from the fluid circuit to the ambient surroundings; (2) a plug that moves in response to changing fluid levels and that fluidly isolates the air filter from the fluid; (3) a second air filter coupled to the reservoir; (4) a check valve to prevent fluid from back flowing into the reservoir; and/or (5) a liquid filter coupleable to the reservoir to filter liquid entering or exiting the reservoir.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to improving surgical safety, and more specifically to techniques for automated detection of non-compliance to surgical protocols in a surgical environment such as an operating room. An exemplary method comprises: receiving one or more images of the operating room captured by one or more cameras; detecting a surgical milestone associated with a surgery in the operating room using a first set of one or more trained machine-learning models based on the received one or more images; detecting one or more activities in the operating room using a second set of one or more trained machine-learning models based on the received one or more images; and determining, based on the detected one or more activities and a surgical protocol associated with the detected surgical milestone, that an instance of non-compliance to the surgical protocol has occurred in the operating room.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to improving surgery safety, and more specifically to techniques for managing air quality associated with an operating room. An exemplary method for managing air quality associated with an operating room comprises: detecting a quantity of a substance in the air in the operating room; determining a surgical milestone associated with a surgery in the operating room; identifying a threshold associated with the substance and the surgical milestone of the surgery in the operating room; determining that the quantity of the substance exceeds the threshold associated with the substance and the surgical milestone of the surgery in the operating room; and in accordance with the determination that the quantity of the substance exceeds the threshold associated with the substance and the surgical milestone, outputting a notification that the quantity of the substance exceeds the threshold associated with the substance and the surgical milestone.

Abstract: A Surgical attachment for a surgical handpiece. The surgical attachment includes a housing for coupling to the surgical handpiece. A driving member is disposed within the housing. The driving member is rotatable about an axis and transfers torque from the handpiece to a surgical accessory tool. The driving member has a drive portion with shoulders that define a bore. Flats extend from the shoulders to engage corresponding flats of the surgical accessory tool. A lock assembly is coupled to the driving member. The lock assembly includes a retainer positioned behind the shoulders of the drive portion of the driving member. The retainer is biased into the bore to engage the surgical accessory tool. The retainer may be permitted to move outwardly from the axis to allow decoupling of the surgical accessory tool in response to sliding of a collar in an axial direction relative to the driving member.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to endoscope cleaning systems and methods. The endoscope cleaning system can include a pump housing that houses a peristaltic pump, an endoscope sheath fluidly connected to the pump housing, and a pump control communicatively coupled to the peristaltic pump. Upon activation of the pump control, the peristaltic pump can supply fluid to the endoscope sheath for cleaning an endoscope. Upon deactivation of the pump control, the peristaltic pump can remove residual fluid from the endoscope.

Abstract: A medical device, such as a patient support apparatus or a thermal control unit, includes a plurality of mechanical components and a plurality of nodes adapted to communicate with each other over a local network onboard the medical device, and a gateway in communication with an off-board network. The gateway translates messages between the onboard and off-board networks, manages subscriptions to content of the local network, controls bidirectional communication, and otherwise oversees communications between the local and remote networks. The gateway utilizes a configuration file for managing the communications between the off-board and onboard networks, and the gateway is configured to switch to using new or modified configuration files without requiring a reboot or power cycle of the gateway. Updates to the communications between the onboard and off-board networks can therefore be implemented without any downtime and/or without requiring updates to software executables.

Abstract: A thermal control unit supplies temperature controlled fluid to a patient to control the patient's temperature. The thermal control unit includes a fluid outlet, fluid inlet, heat exchanger, pump, patient core temperature probe port, auxiliary sensor port, and controller. The controller receives patient core temperature readings from the patient temperature probe port and auxiliary sensor readings from the auxiliary sensor port. The controller may control a temperature of the circulating fluid in both a feedback manner using patient core temperature readings and a feedforward manner using readings from the auxiliary sensor. The auxiliary sensor may measure a characteristic of the patient's tissue indicative of thermal resistance, and/or the auxiliary sensor may measure a temperature of the patient's tissue at an intermediate depth. The controller may use the intermediate temperature to predict arrival at a target patient temperature. The auxiliary sensor may be an ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, or the like.
