  • Patent number: 5427338
    Abstract: An organizing device (10) is provided for use in hospitals, in order to maintain plural patient care lines (e.g., transducer lines (50) and intravenous infusion lines (52)) in a separate, individually identified, easy to use relationship. The device (10) includes an elongated, rigid base plate (12) having upstanding wall sections (14); the wall sections (14) include axially spaced apart, differently configured openings (34, 36) for receiving different patient care lines (50, 52). The base plate (12) also has a surface (28) for receiving line-identifying information thereon. A level indicator (16), viewable from both sides of the device (10), is provided in order to facilitate proper setup of transducer lines (50). The device (10) is preferably of unitary and integral synthetic resin construction, and is of a length to span the distance between upstanding hospital bed rails (58), thereby permitting releasable connection of the device (10) to a hospital bed.
