Abstract: A medical workstation mounting apparatus comprises an elongate body with front and rear faces and configured for attachment to a shelf of a medical workstation. The apparatus has a length, a depth, and a thickness which is the distance between the front and rear faces. A plurality of accessory receivers extend from the body. Each receiver comprises a pair of arms with a channel between them configured to receive a hook of an accessory. The maximum thickness of the apparatus is less than its maximum depth to ensure a slim profile and compact shape.

Abstract: A trolley for medical equipment includes a base mounted on a plurality of wheels. A brake device including at least one deformable brake pad is located beneath the trolley base. A release mechanism is provided to move the brake pad between a raised position in which it is spaced above a floor surface on which the trolley wheels rest, and a lowered position in which the brake pad is pressed against the floor surface under the weight of the brake device to a exert a braking force on the trolley.

Abstract: A cap for a container holding a liquid for medical use comprises a lid portion and an aperture for receiving a tube. The aperture comprises a slot with first and second ends. The width of the slot is smaller than the length between the first and second ends and the slot tapers from the first end towards the second end. Preferably, a gripping feature such as a protruding rim around the perimeter of the aperture is provided to engage the surface of a tube passing through the aperture.

Abstract: A pump monitoring system includes a pump with a pump body and a releasable head. An RFID transponder is secured to the pump head and an RFID reader in communication with a processor is provided in the pump body. The transponder receives and stores information relating to operation of the pump head. The reader reads information from the transponder and transmits further information to the transponder. The processor interprets the information from the transponder and controls operation of the pump in response.

Abstract: A container for carrying a medical instrument such as an endoscope after use and before cleaning, comprises a perimeter wall having a height h and defining an enclosure with a diameter d. The perimeter wall is substantially rigid in the height dimension. A flexible base and a flexible cover are attached to the wall. The wall is compressible to a reduced diameter configuration for storage and expandable to an increased diameter configuration for use. The wall may comprise a series of adjacent panels foldable concertina-style to reduce the diameter.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a fluid from a flexible bag includes a casing containing a tray for receiving the flexible bag and a pressure applicator movable by an actuator. Movement of the actuator pushes the pressure applicator against the tray by translation or by rotation to compress the bag between the tray and the casing.

Abstract: A peristaltic pump comprises a rotor with rollers and first and second tracks mounted on opposites sides of the rotor. Each track is moveable between a first position adjacent the rotor and a second position spaced from the rotor. The tracks may be linked and moveable together so that as one track moves towards the rotor, the other moves away from the rotor and vice versa. In this way, a single pump can be used to provide two different modes of operation, e.g. pumping liquid when one track is adjacent the rotor and applying suction when the other track is adjacent the rotor.
