Abstract:
A pneumatic tubing system for distribution of medical objects in a medical environment without a dedicated carrier. The system comprises a plurality of headwall stations, a sending or receiving station, at least one pump, and at least one controller. Each headwall station is adapted to be installed in a headwall structure proximate to a patient bedside. The sending or receiving station is connected to each of the headwall stations via pneumatic tubing. The at least one pump is adapted to create pressure differentiation within at least a subset of the pneumatic tubing. The at least one controller is adapted to selectively activate the at least one pump to route a medical object between the sending or receiving station and one of the headwall stations within the pneumatic tubing.

Claim (Index 13):
A pneumatic tubing system for distribution of medical objects in a medical environment without a dedicated carrier comprising:\n a plurality of headwall stations each adapted to be installed in a headwall structure proximate to a patient bedside, wherein each headwall station comprises an opening in communication with pneumatic tubing; a sending station comprising a plurality of inlets each associated with and connected to one of the headwall stations via an independent pneumatic tubing path; a plurality of pumps each adapted to create pressure differentiation within at least one independent pneumatic tubing path; and at least one controller in signal communication with the sending station and the at least one pump, wherein the controller is adapted to:\n receive destination information from the sending station; \n identify an intended headwall station using the destination information; \n identify a pump associated with the intended headwall station from the plurality of pumps; and \n activate the identified pump to route a medical object from an inlet of the sending station associated with the identified headwall station to the identified headwall station.
