Publication number: 20230293885Abstract: Electrodes having a usability indicator to indicate a usability of the electrodes are described. The electrodes include a first electrode and a second electrode, as well as an output device(s) that are configured to output a usability indication indicative of a usability of the set of electrodes. If the usability indication indicates that the electrodes should be replaced, the user can discard the set of electrodes and replace them with a new set of electrodes, thereby mitigating the risk of compromising patient care for a patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Adithya Chandrashekharan, Aaron Furman, Scott Batzer, Michael Baran

Patent number: 11096851Abstract: An automated system and methods are provided for coordinating a transfer of a patient between patient support apparatuses. The system includes first and second patient support apparatuses having a patient support surface supported by an adjustable frame. A controller is provided and is configured to communicate with at least one of the first and second patient support apparatuses. The controller includes programmable instructions to coordinate automated movements of at least one of the patient support apparatuses in order to couple the support apparatuses at a preferential transfer position, engage or monitor at least one safety feature, and provide an indication that it is safe to transfer the patient between the first and second patient support apparatuses.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Chad Souke, Martin Fecteau, Brandon Naber, Aaron Furman
