Patent number: 11801176Abstract: A patient assisting system includes a frame having a sling assembly attachment point and a lifting arm which is movable relative to the frame and which includes a receptacle. When the sling assembly is attached to the attachment point and extends through the receptacle, a portion of the sling travels through the receptacle as the lifting arm moves relative to the frame. Another embodiment includes exactly one four bar linkage comprised of a frame having an attachment point for a sling assembly, a lifting arm having a receptacle, a lower cross arm and an upper cross arm. The lifting arm is adapted to be movable between a person-seated position and a person-standing position. The receptacle is located along the lifting arm so that motion of the lifting arm causes the receptacle to move along a curved path having a concave side which is person-facing.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Liko Research & Development ABInventors: Anders Joakim Eriksson, Elin K. Dovervik, Gun Blom, Jack Barney Sing, Lars Eklof, Roger Karlsson, Ronnie Arespong

Publication number: 20210241894Abstract: Systems and methods of associating beds and/or rooms and/or patients are provided. One system and method involves using a signature of emitted light to determine a location of a patient bed in a healthcare facility. Another system and method involves reading a bar code from an array of redundant bar codes. Still another system and method involves manually entering location information on a graphical user interface of a patient bed for subsequent transmission. A further system and method involves sending bed ID and location ID along parallel paths from two independent circuits on a patient bed for receipt by two different transceivers and ultimately by two different remote computers that cooperate to associate the bed ID with the location ID. Still a further system and method involves using circuitry on a bed to mutate a received location ID and a bed ID into a single unique mutated ID such as by adding the location ID and bed ID and then performing a hashing operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2021Publication date: August 5, 2021Inventors: Steven Alan Dixon, Keith A. Huster, Michael S. Hood, James Maurice Allen, John D. Christie, Jack Barney Sing, Dan R. Tallent, Umesh Jairamdas Rajani, Clay Gerome Owsley, Thomas F. Heil, Richard Joseph Schuman, SR., Timothy D.

Patent number: 10987264Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a frame and a mattress positioned on the frame. A respiratory therapy device is coupled to the frame. The respiratory therapy device includes a blower having an inlet and an outlet, a patient interface, and a valve including a valve member that is rotatable through a first angular displacement in a first direction from a first position to a second position. The outlet of the blower is coupled to the patient interface so that positive pressure is provided to a patient's airway via the patient interface when the valve member is in the first position. The inlet of the blower is coupled to the patient interface so that negative pressure is provided to the patient's airway via the patient interface when the valve member is in the second position.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: HILL-ROM SERVICES PTE.
