Patent number: 11953111Abstract: A split body, rotary C gate, removeable stem vacuum valve using an input assembly with handle extensions that allow for hand movement of the incoming pipe to access an inner aperture body with a curved sealing face that directly seals to a C shaped gasketless gate that can be rotated into and out of the inner body aperture for easy cleaning. The gasketless gate is held in position using gate axles with an outer axle stem connected to a polygon lower body that mates into a matching polygon aperture on the gasketless gate. The middle valve assembly's gasketless housing body defines upper and lower axle washer pockets for locating the axles for proper operation and simple axle pins for securing the axles in position.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Inventors: Clay Owens, Alan Davison, Chris Clouse, Jerry George McGarrah

Publication number: 20230238091Abstract: Systems for use with a medical device for controlling an infusion device are provided. In one aspect, a system includes an infusion device that is configurable with operating limit parameters for providing medication to a patient, and a limiting system. The limiting system receives laboratory information associated with a patient, compares current operating parameters of the infusion device with the operating limit parameters in view of the laboratory information for the patient before and during administration of the medication to the patient by the infusion device, determines that administration of the medication by the infusion device should be prevented based on comparing the operating parameters with the operating limit parameters in view of the laboratory information and, responsive to determining that the operation should be prevented, prevents the administration of the medication by the infusion device, and generates a notification indicating that the operating limit parameters require modification.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Vikas GUPTA, Stephen J. BOLLISH, Gail BERGLUND, Timothy W. VANDERVEEN, Alan DAVISON, Donald HALBERT, Jesse J. GUERRA
