According to the present disclosure, a microclimate system includes a topper and an air box. The topper is configured to conduct air along a surface of the topper so that heat and moisture from a patient lying on the topper are drawn away from the surface. The air box includes a blower coupled to the topper to provide air to the topper to be conducted along the surface of the topper. The air box may also include an environmental sensor unit coupled configured to detect environmental information corresponding to the environment around the microclimate system.

A peristaltic pump has an arcuate raceway wife a partially concave inner surface extending through an arc of at least one hundred eighty degrees (180°). The are defines a midpoint, and a rotor faces the inner surface of the raceway and is both rotatable relative to the raceway and transitionally movable relative to the raceway between a pump position, wherein the rotor is spaced from the midpoint a first distance, and a tube load position, wherein the rotor is spaced from the midpoint a second distance greater than the first distance. A rotor motor is coupled to the rotor to rotate the rotor and rollers arranged on the rotor to contact tubing disposed between the rotor and the raceway when the rotor is in the pump position. A loading motor moves the rotor toward and away from the raceway.

A method facilitates a participant to reduce or eliminate anxiety over-reactions. A program application is used to collect, assess and store responses from inquiry of said participant's history of significant events. The participant is given a set of directions. The participant is presented with a significant temperature change to said participant's body or a portion thereof for a period of time while using said directions and a means for recording data from sensors or from said participant.

A portable fan includes a housing having a first face with a first ridge and a second face with a second ridge. A recess is defined between the first and second ridges. A support member is connected to the housing. The support member can be wrapped around the recess for storage and can provide mechanical support for the housing during therapeutic use of the fan. The support member can include a handle that can be disposed under a mattress to anchor the portable fan while the patient is in bed. A second recess can be defined in the housing to receive an electric cord for storage.

An infant incubator heat control device (44) includes a temperature-detecting device (46) providing chamber interior and incubator heater temperature measured values (T1, T2). A first mode of operation has an interior temperature set value (R1), a temperature of the heater set value (R2) is calculated as a function of the interior temperature set value (R1) and of the chamber interior temperature measured value (T1). A controlled variable (R) is calculated for the heater (24) as a function of the temperature of the heater set value (R2) and of the heater measured value (T2). A second mode of operation calculates a temperature of the heater set value (R2) independently of the chamber interior temperature measured value (T1). A controlled variable (R) is calculated for the heater (24) as a function of the set value (R2) for the temperature of the heater (24) and of the heater temperature measured value (T2).
摘要:
Creation of surgical slush having desirable mechanical properties by chilling a closed slush container with liquid saline and an air gap. The closed slush container having interior surfaces that are smooth and hydrophobic to resist adherence of ice crystals. Moving the closed slush container so the contents move in a complex set of motions rather than constant rotation around a longitudinal centerline of the slush container as the liquid saline is converted into surgical slush with a mixture of liquid saline and ice crystals. Interior surfaces of the closed slush container move into and out of an air gap to help shed any ice crystals forming on the interior surfaces. In some instances, as the orientation of the closed slush container relative to gravity changes over time, different interior surfaces shed the ice crystals. An optional method for delivering surgical slush to the sterile field is included. The full range of the disclosure exceeds the scope of this brief abstract.
摘要:
An automated therapy system having an infusion catheter; a sensor adapted to sense a patient parameter; and a controller communicating with the sensor and programmed to control flow output from the infusion catheter into a patient based on the patient parameter without removing fluid from the patient. The invention also includes a method of controlling infusion of a fluid to a patient. The method includes the following steps: monitoring a patient parameter with a sensor to generate a sensor signal; providing the sensor signal to a controller; and adjusting fluid flow to the patient based on the sensor signal without removing fluid from the patient.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to thermal contrast therapy devices, treatment methods for providing thermal contrast therapy, and systems for providing and managing thermal contrast therapy treatments. The thermal contrast therapy devices disclosed herein are configured to provide a sequence of alternating cooling periods and heating periods to one or more areas of a patient's body. A thermal contrast therapy device may comprise a source of hot fluid, a source of cold fluid, and one or more pumps configured to circulate fluid through one or more treatment pads in fluid communication with the device. The thermal contrast therapy devices disclosed herein are configured to rapidly and efficiently transition between alternating cooling periods and heating periods.
摘要:
An improvement to UV sterilization and disinfection devices and methods is disclosed. An apparatus for sterilization and disinfection includes: a compact, highly effective air sterilization and disinfection apparatus, which delivers clean, pure air directly into a blower/warmer device for clean and effective management of patient body temperature.
