Abstract: An electronic medical record (EMR) management system includes an imager code scanner having a user input mechanism and is configurable in a plurality of operation modes, including a code scanning mode and an image capture mode. In the code scanning mode, the imager code scanner is configured to detect a two-dimensional code and output symbology code information representative of the detected two-dimensional code in response to a user input mechanism being engaged. In the image capture mode, the imager code scanner is configured to output a captured image in response to the user input mechanism being engaged. The EMR management system further includes an information management system communicatively coupled to the imager code scanner. The information management system is configured to receive the captured image output from the imager code scanner and incorporate the captured image into an EMR corresponding to a patient.

Abstract: A method for gas detection including monitoring a concentration of a gas measured by a gas detection device to determine whether or not the concentration of the gas exceeds a threshold, when the concentration of the gas is determined to exceed the threshold, obtaining an image from a camera, the image capturing an area in proximity to the gas detection device at a time when the concentration of the gas is determined to exceed the threshold, annotating the obtained image to overlay a value of the concentration of the gas that exceeds the threshold on the captured area in proximity to the gas detection device, and transmitting the augmented image.

Abstract: A system and method of displaying neonatal health information are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes receiving data characterizing a start of an APGAR timer; receiving a time value associated with a current time of the APGAR timer; receiving and displaying on an electronic display a plurality of time windows and a corresponding plurality of target values, each of the plurality of target values representing a predetermined blood oxygen threshold value in connection with a corresponding one of the plurality of time windows; receiving and displaying on an electronic display a measured blood oxygen level value; and highlighting, on the electronic display, a first of the plurality of target values and a corresponding first of the plurality of time windows when the time value associated with the current time of the APGAR timer reaches a first time value.

Abstract: An electronic medical record (EMR) management system includes a data server configured to store an EMR of a patient; an imaging device configured to capture an image medically related to the patient and transmit the captured image; and an information management system communicatively coupled to the imaging device and to the data server, where the information management system is configured to receive the captured image from the imaging device, automatically associate the captured image with the patient, and store the captured image in the EMR of the patient in the data server.

Abstract: A safety breathing apparatus has a delivery element configured to deliver respirable gas to a respiratory system of a user. The apparatus includes a breathing hose in fluid communication with a first source of respirable gas. A valve housing includes a first port configured to be couple to the delivery element, a second port configured to be coupled to the breaking hose, and a third port configured to dock with a second source of respirable gas without exposing the user to a surrounding atmosphere.

Abstract: Described herein is a gas detection system (5) including a housing (10) having an inlet (20) in fluid communication with an atmosphere; an analyzer (25) within the housing (20) and configured to detect and measure a gas species in the atmosphere using a gas sensor (37); and a pneumatic system (60) contained within the housing (10) and in fluid communication with the inlet (20) to draw an air sample from the atmosphere. The pneumatic system (60) includes a pump (15); a low flow branch (65) in fluid communication with the pump (15) and having an airflow sensor (90) and a first orifice (85); and a high flow branch (70) in fluid communication with the pump (15) and having a second orifice (95). Such a system is particularly suitable for remote sampling because it prevents the high flow needed for remote sampling to be directed towards the gas sensor withstanding only low flow. Related apparatus, systems, methods and/or articles are described.

Abstract: A docking station for a patient monitoring device and method of locking the patient monitoring device in the docking station is provided. A housing selectively supports a patient monitoring device thereon and a first port positioned on the housing receives a patient monitoring device therein. A sensor senses one of a presence and absence of the patient monitoring device within the first port. A locking mechanism mechanically locks the patient monitoring device within the first port, wherein the locking mechanism maintains the docking station and patient monitoring device in a mechanically locked state in response to sensing the presence of the patient monitoring device within the first port.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring at least two patient parameters is provided. A first cuff includes a first inflatable bladder, a first light emitting device and a first sensor that senses light data for use in calculating at least two patient parameters. A second cuff includes a second inflatable bladder, a second light emitting device and a second sensor that senses light data for use in calculating the at least two patient parameters. A controller is coupled the first and second sensors and when the controller causes the bladder of one of the first and second cuffs to inflate, the sensor of the one of the first and second cuffs sensing first light data used in determining a first of the at least two patient parameters and the sensor of the other of the one of first and second cuffs simultaneously senses second light data used in determining of a second of the at least two patient parameters.
