Abstract: The present disclosure includes various examples for cooling electronics within a medical device while preventing or reducing the risk of an interior of the medical device being contaminated with a pathogen. The present disclosure includes a medical device having an air deflector to deflect potentially contaminated air from infecting a patient or caregiver. The present disclosure also includes medical devices with disinfectant devices installed to disinfect air either before entering the medical device or before exiting the device. Other examples of the present disclosure include medical devices that are sealed from outside air and fluids, and which may include a cooling device on an exterior surface which may be cleaned and/or removed after each use.

Abstract: A medical device housing having a reduced footprint is described. The medical device housing includes a flange coupled to a first portion of the housing and a second portion of the housing that is configured to be coupled to the flange to substantially enclose an electronic component(s) within an interior of the medical device housing. The first portion of the housing includes a support(s) that supports the flange within the first portion. In some examples, a trench is formed between an interior wall of the first portion of the housing and the flange. An adhesive is deposited within the trench to bond the flange to the first portion of the housing. The second portion of the housing is configured to decouple from the flange to allow access to the interior of the medical device housing, such as for maintenance or repairs.
