  • MEDICAL DEVICE WITH A THERMAL MASS FLOW SENSOR FOR BUBBLE DETECTION
    Publication number: 20230338669
    Abstract: A medical device (10) includes a device housing (12). An in-line thermal mass flow sensor (26) includes a heater (28) and at least one temperature sensor (30). The in-line thermal mass flow sensor is vertically mounted on or in the device housing. The in-line thermal mass flow sensor is configured to measure a flow rate of the fluid through the medical device. At least one electronic processor (18) is programmed to: read the flow rate of the fluid measured by the in-line thermal mass flow sensor; and detect at least one bubble in the fluid based on the measured flow rate.
    Type: Application

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RETRANSMITTING WIRELESS DATA STREAMS
    Publication number: 20190046034
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for processing physiological data streams broadcast by at least one associated medical information sensor (18) is provided. The apparatus includes: a first hub (6) including a first radio (12) configured to receive an individual medical information data stream broadcast by the at least one associated sensor (18) at a data stream carrier frequency and to transmit a non-electrical signal carrying the individual medical information data stream; a second hub (8) including a second radio (14); and a non-electrical communication link (16) between the first radio (12) and the second radio (14) via which the non-electrical signal carrying the individual medical information data stream is communicated from the first radio (12) to the second radio (14).
