Patent number: 11951218Abstract: A sterilization enclosure to be placed within a sterilizer, the sterilization enclosure defining an interior for accommodating at least one surgical instrument and maintaining sterility of the at least one surgical instrument after the sterilization enclosure is removed from the sterilizer. The enclosure comprising a light source and a transparent window. The light source to illuminate the interior and the transparent window positioned such that the interior and the at least one surgical instrument are visible through the transparent window. A process indicator that is either disposed within the interior or coupled to an external surface of the sterilization enclosure. The process indicator in fluid communication with the interior of the sterilization enclosure such that the process indicator is exposed to a sterilant agent disposed within the interior of the sterilization enclosure to measure a characteristic within the interior during a sterilization process.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Bruce D. Henniges, Robert W. Childers, Erik Vaclav Chmelar, Adam W. Dudycha, Michael J. Miller, Ali Moaiery, Benjamin John Purrenhage

Publication number: 20240080647Abstract: A system for interoperating and communicating data from a device having a communications gateway and at least one tactical device connected to an electrified rail providing electrical power. The system includes at least one processor, and at least one non-transitory computer-readable data storage device storing data instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to receive an event from the device, determine whether the event triggers a workflow, and execute an action on the device in response to the workflow being triggered.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: T-Worx Holdings, LLCInventors: Jeffrey R. Musa, Wayne J. Taylor, Gary W. Callsen, Tyler J. Miller, Joseph D. Ellena, Benjamin F. Feldman
