Abstract: A universal passive protector (20) for an IV catheter (22) is provided. The protector comprises an over-the-needle catheter (2) including a proximal hub (24). The hub (24) is secured within a hub trap (32) comprising first and second interlocking arms (30). The hub trap (32) is secured to a distal end of a tubular sheath (34). A slider (38) is disposed about the sheath (24), and connected to a proximal end of the needle (40) through a slit (36) in the sheath (34). When the slider (38) is in a distal position, the needle (40) maintains the arms (30) in a closed configuration wherein the hub (24) is secured to the hub trap (32). When the slider (38) is moved to a proximal position, the needle (40) moves to a proximal position wherein the needle (40) no longer maintains the arms (30) in a closed position. The arms (30) snap to an open position, releasing the hub (24) and trapping the sharp distal tip of the needle (40) within the sheath (34). Medical technicians are thus protected against accidental needle sticks.

Abstract: A wearable or portable intermittently operable hydration system (10) include s a purification module (22) that contains one or more solid state UV devices that are positioned in the path of hydrating fluid, or water, flow through t he hydration system to a mouthpiece (18) or other orifice. The purification module (22) provides a path for the fluid past one or more solid state UV devices, such as UV LEDs, that produce UV radiation in a germicidal range. When the fluid is flowing past the UV LEDs, the LEDs are turned on to provid e sufficient UV radiation to purify the water. The UV LEDs are instant on devices with essentially no ramp-up required, and a sensor (20) or other signaling means in the flow path controls the turning on of the UV LEDs whenever the user initiates the fluid flow. The fluid flow path may run from a bladder (12) in a backpack (19) worn by the user, a sports bottle worn by or carried by the user or may be through a water filtration system that a user operates via a pump. The power for the purification module may come from batteries, solar cells, fuel cells, power converted from pumping or winding action or any combination thereof. Further, UV LEDs may be included in the walls of the container as additional or alternative sources of UV radiation. The UV LEDs in the walls ofthe container may then be turned on when sufficient energy is available, as a precaution against, for example, a chan ge in environmental conditions.

Title: Systeme de frequence radioelectrique multiple de detection de contact de pastille de retour
Inventor: GREGG WILLIAM N
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 2003-09-11
Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un système de fréquence radioélectrique multiple de détection de contact de pastille de retour adaptable à différentes caractéristiques physiologiques de patients sans risque d'interférence de courant d'électrochirurgie (par exemple l'interférence ou l'interaction de mesures entre des composants du système de détection). Le système de détection peut mesurer ou capter la résistance ou l'impédance de contact entre le patient et les paires de pastilles de retour radioélectriques ou d'électrodes de retour où de multiples paires de pastilles de retour radioélectriques sont utilisées en raison du courant élevé souvent requis lors d'électrochirurgie tout en éliminant ou en minimisant le risque d'interaction de mesures entre les paires de pastilles de retour radioélectriques. Le système permet la mesure indépendante et simultanée l'impédance de contact des pastilles pour chaque paire de pastilles de retour radioélectriques. Si l'impédance d'une paire quelconque de pastilles est au-dessus d'un seuil prédéterminé, le système bloque ou réduit la sortie de courant d'électrochirurgie du générateur d'électrochirurgie afin d'empêcher un réchauffement excessif. Le système élimine ou minimise l'interférence ou l'interaction de mesures entre les paires de pastilles en fournissant une fréquence de source de signal pour chaque paire de contacts de pastilles, mais une fréquence qui est équivalente à une fréquence de réseau résonant en série associé. Le courant circulant dans le réseau résonant en série constitue une réflexion ou fonction directe de l'impédance de pastilles de la paire de pastilles correspondante.
