  • Patent number: 11944770
    Abstract: An expandable introducer sheath with an interlock dilator. The present technology provides an expandable sheath with a step feature inside its distal opening, and a dilator with an interlock that includes a catch surface configured to engage with the step feature and resist further relative movement so that the body of the dilator is prevented from exiting the distal end of the expandable sheath. This interlocking engagement may allow the dilator to be used to extend and maintain tension on the expandable sheath during insertion into a patient, and then to be retracted from the expandable sheath by pulling the dilator in the opposite direction. The present technology also provides a dilator hub with a spring mechanism configured to achieve and maintain a desired tension on the expandable sheath and to prevent overextension of the expandable sheath when the dilator is being inserted into the expandable sheath.

  • Patent number: 11948115
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically assessing and monitoring information security effectiveness using collected indicia of sensitive content and indicia of security measure information for a plurality of networked organizational assets/systems to provide respective asset/system value at risk ratings. Elements of the system include automated asset discovery, automated hosting provider and location discovery, collection of information harvested from public sources and, optionally non-public sources, analysis of the collected information against public, non-public, and proprietary sources, and/or mathematical models used to infer broader security program conclusions and to rank asset/system values at risk. Estimates of values at risk are used to prioritize allocation of security measures.

  • Patent number: 11938089
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a medication delivery system including a medication administration device, a medication within the medication administration device, a container defining a cavity receiving the medication administration device, and a cap attached to the container and sealing the medication administration device within the cavity. The medication administration device includes an actuator extending from a body and operable to expel the medication by depressing the actuator into the body. The cap includes hold down members positioned to bear against the body of the medication administration device to prevent movement of the medication administration device toward the cap beyond a predetermined distance. The medication administration device is thereby prevented, inter alia, from prematurely discharging the medication during storage and transport.
