Abstract: A washing appliance for efficient and through cleaning of medical devices and methods of using the appliance are disclosed. The appliance can clean exteriors of medical devices, and lumens of devices comprising a lumen such as cathlab devices.

Abstract: Method and systems for determining acceptance criteria for identification of occluding particles in a lumen of a device are provided. The methods and systems can be used in methods of identifying an occluded device in an inspection method. The acceptance criteria can be calculated based on mass flow measurements of an occluded representative device.

Abstract: A compact and smart wearable device is configured to automatically inject medicines into the wearer. Because hypodermic needles are only deployed when triggered, infection risks are eliminated. Necessary medicines are automatically deployed based on physiological or other data without human intervention to save lives.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for reprocessing single-use medical devices. The method can include removing a coating from a single-use medical device, validating the removal of the coating, cleaning the single-use medical device, and applying a new coating to the single-use medical device.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are related to pellets that are placed within an extraction site that is in need of bone augmentation and preservation. The pellets are typically cylindrical in shape and comprise a material and a polymer coating. The pellets may advantageously facilitate sufficient new bone growth that jaw bone deterioration is prevented. The pellets create, arrange, and assemble an ideal growth environment for new bone growth to rapidly grow and preserve the original contours of an individual's jaw bone.

Abstract: An infusion system includes a primary delivery device, a secondary delivery device, an ancillary device, and a manifold. The manifold includes a primary connection port fluidly coupled with the primary delivery device. A delivery connection port in fluid communication with the primary connection port is fluidly coupled with the ancillary device. A secondary connection port fluidly coupled with the secondary delivery device is in fluid communication with the primary connection port. The primary connection port is operable to permit bidirectional flow so that fluid flows from the primary delivery device through the primary connection port and through the delivery connection port to the ancillary device, and from the secondary delivery device through the secondary connection port and through the primary connection port to be received by the primary delivery device.

Abstract: Occlusive tissue dressings and methods including an elastomeric drape and a liquid component, at least partially cross-linked at least after one of drying and curing, suitable for application at a dressing-to-skin interface in order to create a substantially air-tight seal. The same or a different liquid component may be applied by a user at a tube-to-dressing interface in order to create a similar air-tight seal around the tube, if not occlusively sealed during its manufacture.

Abstract: A compact and smart wearable device is configured to automatically inject medicines into the wearer. Because hypodermic needles are only deployed when triggered, infection risks are eliminated. Necessary medicines are automatically deployed based on physiological or other data without human intervention to save lives. The wearable device can also be configured to inject more than one medicine into the wearer.

Abstract: A disinfection tunnel includes an enclosure, an ozonated water tank, an ozonated water generator, a set of nozzles, a mist generator, and a processor. The ozonated water generator generates ozonated water and stores the ozonated water in the tank. When a person enters the enclosure, the processor starts the mist generator. The mist generator receives ozonated water from the tank, turns the ozonated water to a mist of ozonated water, and pumps the mist of ozonated water to the nozzles. The nozzles spray the mist of ozonated water inside the enclosure for a time period.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are related to pellets that are placed within an extraction site that is in need of bone augmentation and preservation. The pellets are typically cylindrical in shape and comprise a material and a polymer coating. The goal of the pellets are to encourage sufficient new bone growth that jaw bone deterioration is prevented. The pellets create, arrange, and assemble an ideal growth environment for new bone growth to rapidly grow and preserve the original contours of an individual's jaw bone.

Abstract: Butterfly assemblies to deliver a fluid into a patient's anatomic space include a body and extensions. The body has an opening to receive a needle to penetrate into a patient's anatomic space, and the extensions are hinged to the body and movable between a closed, compact position and an expanded, open position without significant biasing forces tending to move the extensions into either position. Each extension has an outer periphery at least partially surrounding an interior surface having a locking structure to mate with the other extension and lock the extensions together in the closed, compact position.

Abstract: An auricular peripheral nerve field stimulator includes at least one therapy electrode configured for percutaneous insertion into an auricle of a human ear near at least one neurovascular bundle, and an electrical stimulation device electrically coupled to the at least one therapy electrode, the electrical stimulation device programmed to (i) generate and deliver electrical stimulation signals to the inserted at least one therapy electrode at a selected frequency for a selected duration to stimulate at least one auricular peripheral nerve field within the auricle, and (ii) repeat (i) with the stimulation signals having a modulated frequency.
