  • Patent number: 9575000
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an apparatus and a method for detecting first and subsequent drops of follicle fluid falling into a test tube during an aspiration process. A pair of optical devices (emitter and detector) is positioned at opposite side of the test tube. The emitter emits a beam of light towards the detector. As soon as a drop of the follicle fluid falls into the test tube, a signal processing circuitry detects a change in intensity of the light received by the detector. Further, the intensity of beam is compared with a pre-defined intensity. Based on the comparison, if the difference between the pre-defined intensity and intensity is greater than a pre-defined threshold value, the signal processing circuitry generates an electrical signal indicating the detection of the first drop of the follicle fluid falling into the test tube.

  • Patent number: 9517084
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an apparatus and a method for detecting level of the follicle fluid falling into a test tube during an aspiration process. The apparatus may be configured for detecting the level of the follicle fluid falling into the test tube. Upon detecting that the level reaches the pre-defined threshold level in the test tube, the apparatus may be further configured to notify a doctor about the level of the follicle fluid into the test tube via an audio alarm or visually through the ultrasound monitor. The notification enables the doctor to concentrate on the aspiration process and further facilitates to prevent spilling of the follicle fluid from the test tube, once the follicle fluid reaches the pre-defined threshold level of the test tube.

  • Publication number: 20150201966
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an apparatus and method of using such apparatus for recovering oocyte from patient's uterus. The present disclosure provides hassle-free and user-interactive experience to the user using the apparatus during the oocyte recovery process. The apparatus comprises a profile control module, a user interface module, and proportional control module. The profile control module defines a plurality of profiles. Further, each of the plurality of profiles comprises a plurality of attributes having a plurality of values. The user interface module enables a user to select a profile from the plurality of profiles and a value corresponding to each attribute of the profile selected. Further, proportional control module generates a vacuum level, via a vacuum generating unit, based upon the profile and the value select by the user. Further, the vacuum level generated may be proportionally controlled based on pressure applied on foot pedal.

  • Publication number: 20150206675
    Abstract: Disclosed is a foot switch to be used in medical equipment for controlling various medical operations. The foot switch may comprise a foot pedal, a pressure sensor, a tilt sensor and a control unit. The pressure sensor may be adapted to sense a pressure applied on the foot pedal. The tilt sensor may be adapted to sense tilting of the foot pedal. The control unit may be configured to receive a first control signal and a second control signal from the pressure sensor and the tilt sensor respectively. The control unit may further be configured to perform a first function and a second function based upon the receipt of the first control signal and the second control respectively. The first function and the second function may be associated with controlling parameters associated with the medical equipment, thereby facilitating to control the medical operations.

  • Publication number: 20150203080
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for controlling mobility of a trolley. The apparatus may be attached to the trolley at the bottom. The apparatus may comprise an anti-skid surface and a controlling means to control the movement of the anti-skid surface. The anti-skid surface may be enabled to move vertically downward and upward, via the controlling means, thereby arresting mobility of the trolley. The downward movement of the anti-skid surface may facilitate contact between the anti-skid surface and floor thereby arresting the mobility, whereas the upward movement of the anti-skid surface may restore the mobility by disconnecting the contact between the anti-skid surface and the floor.

  • Publication number: 20150201609
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for maintaining temperature of a human follicle fluid containing a human oocyte. The method may comprise a warm dry block, wherein the warm dry block may be adapted to hold a plurality of tubes. The warm dry block may further be adapted to constantly maintain the temperature of the human follicle fluid containing human oocyte in the tube. In one aspect, when the tube is displaced from the warm dry block, an outer jacket may facilitate to maintain the temperature until the tube is again placed in the warm dry block. In one aspect, the tube is wrapped around with the outer jacket, wherein the outer jacket may be composed of Aluminum (Al) or Aluminum (Al) alloy.
