Devices, methods and systems are provided for occluding an opening within the tissue of a body, such as a left atrial appendage. In one embodiment, a system for use in occluding an opening in the tissue of a body includes a handle, a catheter coupled with the handle and a medical device disposed within a lumen of the catheter. The medical device includes an anchor system having a plurality of anchor segments coupled with an anchor hub. The medical device further includes an occluder system having a plurality of occluder segments coupled with an occluder hub. A first actuator is configured to displace the occluder hub independent of, and relative to, the anchor hub to deploy the occluder system from a refracted state to an expanded state while the anchor system remains in a retracted state.

Delivery systems for a medical device and related methods are provided. In one embodiment the delivery system includes a handle, a handle extension, and a sleeve. The handle extension extends from the handle and includes at least one channel defined therein along a longitudinal length of the handle extension. The handle extension also includes an abutment surface positioned in the at least one channel. The sleeve is disposed around the handle extension and is coupled to a catheter. The sleeve also includes a biased actuator configured to be moved between at least two actuator positions. The sleeve is moveable from a distal position to an intermediate position where it is stopped via the abutment surface to partially unsheathe a medical device from the catheter. The actuator can then be manually actuated to enable displacement of the sleeve to a proximal position to fully unsheathe the medical device from the catheter.

A feeding set adaptor and related system for delivering solutions utilize a feeding set adaptor which engages a pump engaging portion of an infusion set and the feeding set adaptor structure to provide monitoring portions for detecting pressures within the infusion set, a sample cell for determining the presence of air within an infusion set, and an anti-freeflow device for selectively preventing freeflow through the infusion set. The feeding set adaptor is configured for mounting on an infusion pump which moves solution through the infusion set for delivery to a patient.

An apparatus and method for preventing free flow through an infusion set utilizes an occluder disposed within the infusion set to selectively prevent flow therethrough. The occluder may be responsive to a pressure differential within the infusion set or may respond to compression of the infusion set. When a pair of occluders are used in sequence, an in-line pump may be formed.

An optical sensor includes a sample cell through which a fluid flows, an optical sensor formed by an optical emitter and an optical detector. The sample cell and the optical sensor use light refraction to determine the presence and size of a bubble passing through the sample cell. A housing may also be included to provide better control over light refraction and to protect the optical sensor.

A sleep surface system and method for positioning under, for example, an infant or person on a sleeping surface. The sleep surface system includes an insert and a forced air device. The insert includes a top liner and a bottom liner with a space therebetween such that the top liner defines pores therein. In addition, the forced air device is configured to provide air flow through the pores and adjacent a person or infant.
