    摘要: A method and apparatus for preventing and treating septicemia in patient blood is provided. The extracorporeal system includes an antimicrobial device to inactivate at least 99% of bloodborne microorganisms, a hemoconcentrator/filtration unit to remove approximately 50–75% of target molecules from the patient blood and a filter unit to remove target molecules from patient blood from the sieved plasma filtrate. Target molecules are produced by microorganisms, as well as by the patient's cells. These molecules include endotoxins from Gram negative bacteria, exotoxins from Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, as well as RAP protein mediator from Staphylococcus aureus, and cell mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin 1-beta, interleukin 6, complement proteins C3a and C5a, and bradykinin.

    摘要: A system for disposing of medical waste is generally configured to sort waste items into a plurality of containers according to applicable rules and regulations governing the handling and/or disposal of such items. In some embodiments, a system comprises sorting stations each of which houses a number of disposable containers. Each station can identify an item of waste, determine the most appropriate container for the item, and facilitate disposal of the item in the appropriate container. In some embodiments, a container or receptacle is configured to receive waste that comprises a controlled substance (e.g., a narcotic, other CII pharmaceutical waste, etc.). Such controlled waste can be discarded into the container or receptacle directly or indirectly (e.g., by placing the waste in a cup or other enclosure).

    摘要: Leakage of blood from the insertion set, during and after safety-needle retraction, is suppressed by components that receive and retain flash blood for viewing--notwithstanding forces developed within the device in retraction. One preferred such system includes a flash chamber that moves with the retracting needle, within a hollow handle, carrying a relatively high flow-impedance element which allows air exhaust from the chamber into the handle to admit flash blood--but isolates blood in the chamber from retraction-generated increase in air pressure in the handle. Energy-absorbing components control or compensate for retraction speed, to provide quiet smooth retraction--while yet enabling use of ample retraction force to make retraction reliable. Among several energy absorbing systems disclosed is a preferred one that includes a viscous material introduced within the hollow handle to damp the retracting motion; and an injection port to facilitate introduction of the viscous material. Needle reuse, and concomitant risk of spreading disease, are avoided through components that deter needle redeployment--by deterring access to or forward motion of the needle, or trigger reengagement.

    摘要: Disclosed is a multimodal method and apparatus for extracorporeally treating certain blood borne infections, such as the infection of T-lymphocytes with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. The method and apparatus of the invention includes (a) hyperthermic, (b) mechanical shear inducing, and (c) irradiation treatment modalities. These three treatment modalities may be carried out separately, in any order, or simultaneously, in any combination. The irradiation treatment mode preferably includes methods and means for subjecting at least a fraction of the blood to ultraviolet and/or x-ray and/or laser radiation. Before the blood is withdrawn from the human subject a chemical agent such as heparin may be administered to the subject for purposes of inducing lymphocyte migration from the lymph system into the circulatory system. Following extraction of a desired maximal volume of blood from the human subject, volume extenders may be mixed with the blood, thereby adjusting the extracorporeal blood volume as required or desired. Following completion of the extracorporeal treatment(s) the treated blood is returned to the patient.

    摘要: A filter device used to filter medical anesthesia gases and other inhalable respiratory gases. The filter device has a ported housing, and a filter member within the housing. The filter member is a porous sheet that is transversely pleated and draped to define a peripheral foot of such porous sheet. The peripheral foot is sealed along its entire periphery to the housing. Two sets of intermeshing hangers are provided with both sets of the hangers being anchored to the housing and distortingly maintaining the porous sheet in such a pleated condition.
