Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a waterproof pullcord station for management of patient care. The pullcord station includes a cord, and a face plate assembly coupled to a wall plate assembly. The face plate assembly includes a cord retainer coupled to the cord, and an actuator post coupled to the cord retainer. The wall plate assembly includes a wall plate comprising a frontside and a backside, wherein the frontside comprises a single material and the backside comprises an opening, the wall plate serving as a housing for an electronic circuit. The wall plate assembly further includes the electronic circuit wirelessly coupled to the actuator post and configured to determine whether the cord has been pulled by monitoring the wireless coupling between the actuator post and the electronic circuit. The wall plate assembly further includes a back cap configured to interface with the opening of the backside.

Abstract: Embodiment thermostatic valves are protected against damage to the wax motor from the leakage of hot water into the valve when the hot water inlet is closed. Embodiments include an improved temperature motive means with fewer parts than conventional valves and with an improved sealing relation between the wax motor/shuttle and the water ports.

Abstract: Embodiments include eyewash valves in which the temperature of the water emerging from the valve is thermostatically controlled by a wax motor which regulates the flow of hot and cold water through the valve. Embodiments include provisions for continuing water flow through the valve despite failure of the hot water supply. Embodiments also include provisions for water flow through the valve despite failure of the wax motor in the upper position or in the lower position.
