  • Patent number: 10206807
    Abstract: A patient transfer device is utilized to transport infant patients between locations within a hospital environment. The patient transfer device includes a center, support section and a pair of side sections that can be moved into contact with each other to surround the infant patient. The first and second side sections each include a handle that can be brought into close proximity to each other and can be grasped by a single hand of a clinician. The patient transfer device includes a stiffening device that is positioned within the center section to provide support for the infant patient during transport. A hold down device is included on one or both of the first and second side sections to securely hold tubes and wires connected to the infant patient during transport of the infant patient.

  • Publication number: 20170065763
    Abstract: A universal adapter for connecting a syringe to an injector is provided. The universal adapter for connecting a syringe to an injector includes: a body having a proximal end configured to connect to an injector; at least one radial support connected to the body and biased in an inward direction; and at least one axial support biased to position the syringe in an axial direction toward a distal end of the adapter. The at least one radial support defines a notch positioned to contact and engage a portion of a barrel of the syringe. A fluid delivery system and system for identification of a syringe, which include a universal adapter for connecting a syringe to an injector, are also described herein.

  • Publication number: 20080154112
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hair-grasping EEG electrode and an insertion tool for placement of the electrode on the scalp. The electrode has a novel two-piece clamping design formed of cooperating halves that capture and tension the hair, pulling the electrode snuggly against the scalp before locking together to anchor the electrode in place. The insertion tool allows easy manipulation and fast and consistent installation without need for lengthy user training and practice. Moreover, the insertion tool assumes some of the functionality so that the electrode can be simplified, allowing a smaller footprint and part count, as well as allowing the non-conductive portions of the electrode to be disposable. Dispensing of electrolytic gel is a convenient option to improve the interface, and this may be readily dispensed from the tool, or from reservoirs integral to the electrode. The combination greatly reduces EEG study setup time and technician labor costs.
