  • Publication number: 20230134620
    Abstract: A method for providing real-time analytics of time series data is disclosed. The method includes capturing a first set of time series data from a data flow based on a first predetermined time period; parsing the first set of time series data to identify a first key metric; capturing a second set of time series data from the data flow based on a second predetermined time period; parsing the second set of time series data to identify a second key metric, the second key metric corresponding to the first key metric; comparing, in real-time, the second key metric with the first key metric; and identifying, by using a model, an anomaly based on a result of the comparing and a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220296849
    Abstract: A method of making a ready-to-use catheter assembly is provided, which can be immediately used by a patient. The ready-to-use catheter assembly ensures that the catheter does not suffer from a loss of quality during its shelf life and a wetting medium are provided. The method comprises: placing a catheter with an inactivated hydrophilic outer surface at least along its insertable length and a wetting medium in a catheter package; treating the catheter package with the catheter and the wetting medium with electro-magnetic and/or particle radiation while at least initially the hydrophilic outer surface at least along the insertable length of the catheter remains inactivated; and activating the hydrophilic outer surface at least along the insertable length of the catheter with the wetting medium during and/or after the radiation treatment and wherein the wetting medium decreases in viscosity when submitted to electro-magnetic and/or particle radiation.

  • Patent number: 10328237
    Abstract: A ready to use catheter assembly comprises a catheter package with an opening, a catheter with a shaft arranged in the catheter package so a distal end of the catheter lies in the region of the opening, and a protective sleeve which partly covers the catheter shaft, a first end of the protective sleeve fixed to the distal end of the catheter. A method for producing a ready to use catheter assembly and a ready to use catheter assembly which further reduces the risk of an accidental contamination of a catheter when pulling it out of the catheter package prior to the insertion into the urethra of a user are provided. The opening has a defined maximum opening length, a second end of the protective sleeve is releasably connected which the catheter package near the maximum opening length of the opening and the protective sleeve is in a retracted state.

  • Patent number: 9241655
    Abstract: A measuring device for measuring a physiological parameter of an aspirate. The device includes a sensor element for measuring the physiological parameter, a connection port for fluid communication with a medical tube, a collection tube for aspirating and/or collecting the aspirate, a housing, wherein the sensor element is mounted within the housing and a communication passage enabling the aspirate to enter the housing from the collection tube such that the sensor element can measure the physiological parameter. Further, a method for measuring the parameter is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8684979
    Abstract: A discriminating connector system for medical use. The connector system includes a male connector and a female connector. A standoff of the male connector forms a sealed, fluid connection with a receptacle of the female connector for fluid flow between conduits connected to the male and female connectors. The construction of the connector system prevents connection of either the male or female connector to other non-conforming connectors or syringes commonly found in medical environments, such as male and female luer-lock connectors and syringes.

  • Publication number: 20120302917
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a urine meter (40) having a housing (14) which includes an inlet (16) and an outlet (20). The housing (14) further includes a first measurement chamber (24) and a second measurement chamber (26) arranged such that liquid entering the inlet (16) enters the first measurement chamber (24) before passing to the second measurement chamber (26). The housing (14) is further provided with a non-return valve (42) between the first and second measurement chambers (24,26) which, in use, prevents the flow of liquid from the second measurement chamber (26) to the first measurement chamber (24).
