Patent number: 12178749Abstract: The invention relates to an ophthalmic pressure control system, comprising: a pressure regulator having an input port and an output port, and an infusion line having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being connected to the output port of the pressure regulator, and the distal end being detachably connected to an ophthalmic irrigation module. Further, the system includes a control unit driving the pressure regulator for controlling an infusion fluid pressure at a distal end of the ophthalmic irrigation module. The control unit is arranged for performing a fluid calibration process including a step of determining a fluid impedance of the ophthalmic irrigation module. The infusion line is associated with a kit of parts including a first and a second ophthalmic irrigation device, or the ophthalmic irrigation module is an ophthalmic irrigation device for surgical use.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2022Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: D.O.R.C. Dutch Ophthalmic Research Center (International) B.V.Inventors: John Peter Kuntz, Andres Alberto Alvarez Cabrera, Wim Rosenquist

Patent number: 10034106Abstract: A hearing aid comprises a housing with a sound channel in a longitudinal direction and terminating in a sound opening, a transducer for transducing sound at the sound opening, and an insert member having an insert part for insertion into the sound channel and a support part arranged against the housing. The insert member forms a sound path from a first sound opening to a second sound opening. The first sound opening is arranged in the insert part and the second sound opening is arranged in the support part outside the sound channel. The insert part comprises a retention member for retaining wax. The retention member includes an opening and is arranged so that a part hereof extends transverse to the longitudinal direction. The support part forms a protruding engagement member which facilitates catching of the insert member without engaging the sound path during removal of the insert member.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2016Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: Sonlon Nederland B.V.Inventors: Konrad van den Berg, Jan Hijman, Thomas A. Cohen-Stuart, Ewian Vos, Andrés Alberto Alvarez Cabrera, Theodorus Geradus Maria Brouwer, Asger Soelberg Andersen
