Publication number: 20240172997Abstract: A portable tool for communicating with an ultra-wideband (UWB) equipped patient support apparatus and/or a UWB-equipped locator unit. The tool may include a housing, a transceiver for communicating with a computer, a first (UWB) transceiver adapted to communicate with a second UWB transceiver, and a controller. The controller may be adapted to use the first UWB transceiver to obtain an identifier from the second UWB transceiver, and to determine whether the second UWB transceiver is positioned onboard a patient support apparatus or onboard a locator unit based on its identifier. If the second UWB transceiver is positioned onboard the patient support apparatus, the tool may determine a specific location of the second UWB transceiver onboard the patient support apparatus. The tool may alternatively be embodied in a software application adapted to be executed on a smart phone and/or personal computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Kirby M. Neihouser, Jerald A. Trepanier, Madhu Sandeep Thota, Celso Henrique Farnese Pires Pereira, Krishna Sandeep Bhimavarapu, Christopher P. Alvarez, Nicholas S. Brajak, Michael W.

Patent number: 11800995Abstract: A patient support apparatus, such as a bed, cot, stretcher, etc., for supporting a patient includes an exit detection system with multiple user-selectable modes of operation that each have different sensitivity levels for triggering an exit alert. The exit detection system also includes one or more non-user selectable modes of operation that are automatically implemented in response to a triggering action. For example, a transition mode may be automatically implemented when the user attempts to switch from a first user-selectable mode to a different user selectable mode, or a motion mode may be automatically implemented when movement of one or more components of the patient support apparatus occurs. In the transition mode, the exit detection system may use a least restrictive sensitivity level. In the motion mode, the exit detection system may inhibit exit alerts and/or change the criteria for issuing the exit alert.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Sujay Sukumaran, Celso Henrique Farnese Pires Pereira, Grady Sertic, Placide Nibakuze, Anish Paul, Krishna Sandeep Bhimavarapu

Publication number: 20230337941Abstract: A system includes a patient support apparatus and a plurality of location transceivers. One of more of the location transceivers are positioned onboard the patient support apparatus and one or more are positioned at fixed locations within the room. The onboard location transceivers determine their location with respect to the off-board location transceivers, or vice versa, and use this location information to determine the position of the tagged medical device with respect to a volume of space. If the tagged medical device is inside the volume of space, a controller may: (a) associate the tagged medical device with the patient support apparatus, a patient, a room identifier, and/or a room bay identifier; (b) allow the tagged medical device to join a communication network, and/or (c) forward data from the tagged medical device to a remotely positioned server.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2022Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Celso Henrique Farnese Pires Pereira, Jerald A. Trepanier, Krishna Sandeep Bhimavarapu, Kirby M. Neihouser, Thomas Deeds, Madhu Sandeep Thota, Madhu Thomas

Patent number: 11666498Abstract: A patient support apparatus, such as a bed, cot, stretcher, or the like, includes a litter frame, a support deck, a plurality of force sensors adapted to output signals corresponding to downward forces exerted on the support deck, and a controller configured carrying out various functions and to display various screens on a touchscreen or display, including a scale home screen and a scale equipment screen. A patient's current weight can be displayed on the scale home screen and the weight of equipment supported on the apparatus can be displayed on the scale home screen and the scale equipment screen. When a patient's current weight is characterized as possibly including non-patient weight, the controller can display a warning screen.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Kurosh Nahavandi, David Buick, Placide Nibakuze, Sujay Sukumaran, Celso Henrique Farnese Pires Pereira, Ian Christopher Geiman

Publication number: 20220287897Abstract: An exercise device includes one or more connectors adapted to be releasably coupled to a patient support apparatus; a patient-contacting portion adapted to contact a portion of the patient's body and to be resistively moved between a first position and a second position; a first location transceiver; and a sensor adapted to automatically detect movement of the patient-contacting portion between the first and second positions. The exercise device may also include a wireless transceiver adapted to transmit movement data derived from the sensor to a recipient device. In some embodiments, the exercise device is part of a system that includes a patient support apparatus and a second location transceiver positioned thereon. The location transceivers allow a controller to determine if the exercise device is currently coupled to the patient support apparatus or not, and/or to automatically pair the exercise device to the patient support apparatus for wireless communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Krishna Sandeep Bhimavarapu, Celso Henrique Farnese Pires Pereira, Jeffrey Kennedy, Kaitlin Therese Konopacz, Heather Sirianni
