  • Patent number: 11617568
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a disposable assembly and a reusable assembly. The disposable assembly includes a fluid input port, a fluid output port, and a tube configured to provide fluid communication between the fluid input port and the fluid output port. The reusable assembly includes a housing, a fluid management assembly that is configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, and a sensing assembly. The fluid management assembly is configured to prevent fluid from traveling past the tube to the fluid output port in the closed position. The sensing assembly is configured to sense fluid accumulating within the tube while the fluid management assembly is in the closed position. The sensing assembly is also configured to drive the fluid management assembly from the closed position to the open position when the sensing assembly detects fluid within the tube at a predetermined range.

  • Publication number: 20220008287
    Abstract: A compression measurement and feedback system which measures the magnitude and the angle of manual CPR force applied to a patient and provides the measured magnitude and direction information as compression data feedback to the person applying CPR to the patient. Any variation in the magnitude or direction of the compression force applied may be calculated from the compression data measured by the compression sensor. A monitor receives the compression data and processes the compression data to generate feedback data to the CPR provider indicating the magnitude and direction of the applied CPR compression along with ideal CPR compression characteristics for comparison.

  • Patent number: 6171254
    Abstract: A blood pressure monitoring system for automatic unattended operation uses curve fitting techniques determined during an initial inflation period to determine cuff size. Based upon cuff size, the number of important pre-determined operating parameters are determined for use in controlling the remaining blood pressure reading operations. The automatic blood pressure monitor according to the present invention offers a simplified, cost effective construction utilizing a single pump, a single valve and a single valve orifice.
