摘要:
In the present invention, a device, system and associated method is provided as a compact, automated and self-contained data logger with capability of withstanding conditions used in sterilizing reusable medical device equipment/components. The device includes one or more sensors to automatically sense and store information on the parameters of various autoclave cycle(s) for the component associated with the tracking device and their respective timestamps of each autoclave cycle(s). This information is stored in a data record on the tracking device for the individual component. The data record can be used as evidence of valid sterilization cycles for the component and can also provide information for the host system and/or the user of the status for the component, including the last time the component was sterilized, the time between sterilization cycles, the time for replacement of the component, and too warn if the device was returned to service without proper sterilization.

A device for the transportation and temporary storage of a medical instrument (24), the device comprising: an instrument bag (20) formed of a plastics material substantially impermeable to bodily fluids, the bag having a bag opening (22) for receiving the instrument (24); and a label (2) which has a first portion (12) adhered to an external surface of the bag adjacent to the bag opening (22) and has a second portion (14) which is disposed beyond the bag opening (22) and which has a lower surface at least part of which is adhesive and covered by a removable backing (18); wherein: the first portion (12) of the label (2) includes a pocket for receiving a sachet or data carrier (26); the second portion (14) of the label (2) includes a tamper-evident portion (16) which exhibits a first visual appearance when first adhered to a surface of the bag (20), and which exhibits a second visual appearance after it has been adhered to and then removed from a surface of the bag, and subsequently adhered to the same surface of the bag; the second visual appearance different from the first visual appearance.
摘要:
An ink composition for marking a tissue specimen is provided. The ink composition has a general formula of 30.0 wt.% to 54.0 wt.% of an alkali soluble styrene; 0.3 wt.% to 1.7 wt.% ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose; 8.0 wt.% to 35.0 wt.% colorant; 0.0 wt.% to 13.0 wt.% pigment; 23.0 wt.% to 47.0 wt.% deionized water; 0.35 wt.% to 1.65% defoamer and.1 wt.% to 1.1 wt.% preservative. The inks in accordance with the invention may have a peak transmission in the visible spectrum at a wavelength of from 322nm to 716nm or having a lineal UV-Vis spectrum with no visible peak transmission between 250 nm and 950 nm. When applied to a tissue specimen the ink compositions do not bleed onto adjacent tissue margins. When view under a microscope the color of the ink compositions can be distinguished from each other.
摘要:
A mechanism is disclosed for adapting operations of a surgical instrument based on data from actual, expected or predicted properties of tissue, data from measuring operation of the surgical instrument itself, and data based on clinician conduct. The adaptive measures can be based on predetermined control measures such as algorithms stored in operative communication with the surgical instrument, based on dynamically generated control measures, or a combination of both. Utilizing such mechanisms can help to adjust closure and firing algorithms based on tissue properties, improve battery usage, and learn from user operations, enhancing functioning of the instrument within an operational envelope.
