Abstract: A co-extruded tubing for the administration of intravenous fluids has an outer layer of a polyester. An inner fluid-contact layer may be of a polyethylene or of a thermoplastic polyurethane. Where the inner fluid-contact layer is of polyethylene, an intermediate tie layer of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer may be included to prevent delamination.

Abstract: A bio-feedback system to support the collection of a plurality of physiological parameter values of a subject being monitored. The physiological parameter values collected are processed to determine and present to the subject a continuously updated succession of presentation states, possibly multimedia in nature, in order to attempt to enhance the bio-feedback capability of the system. The system includes a digitizing camera arranged to continually capture an image of the subject. The presentation states, which include the captured image of the subject, are accented by color accents including curved bands of color coextensive with and juxtaposed to the outline of the image of the subject. The color of the bands may be appropriately altered in a predefined manner as determined by changes in the physiological parameter values collected and processed.
