Abstract: Apparatus and methods for installing a fitting onto a fluid line, the apparatus comprising a main body and a fitting installation member. The main body comprises a base and a guide member, wherein the base comprises a groove extending in a first direction configured to receive at least a portion of the fluid line, wherein the guide member is connected to and spaced apart from the groove of the base, and wherein the guide member comprises a hole extending through the guide member in a second direction. The fitting installation member comprises an elongate shaft and a tip portion, wherein the elongate shaft extends through the hole of the guide member and into the groove of the base member, and wherein the tip portion is smaller than the shaft in a first dimension.

Abstract: A battery pack assembly or enclosure comprises one or more batteries having an electrochemical cell and an enclosure having at least an outer wall configured to create a sealed volume of space substantially around the batteries. An atmosphere of the volume of space comprises gas having a thermal conductivity less than 0.018 watts per meter per degree Celsius. This atmosphere of gas provides an insulative layer between the outer wall of the enclosure and the batteries. With this insulative layer, the battery pack assembly can be subjected to autoclaving without damaging the batteries. The battery pack assembly can be used to power surgical tools or other devices that are subjected to autoclaving.
