Abstract: The present disclosure provides a video laryngoscope system comprising an image acquisition device configured to capture images of glottis and trachea of a subject, a memory configured to store one or more series of instructions, one or more processor configured execute the series of computer instructions stored in the memory. When the instructions are executed by the processor, the video laryngoscope system performs the following steps: receiving the images of the glottis and the trachea captured by the image acquisition device, analyzing the received images to identify a tracheal structure, and quantitatively assessing the trachea based on the identified tracheal structure, to determine at least one attribute of the trachea. The present disclosure further provides a method for quantitatively assessing a trachea.

Abstract: A medical device monitoring system includes a monitor and a medical device. The monitor includes an infrared emitter that transmits a first infrared signal, the first infrared signal comprising identification information of the monitor, a second infrared signal comprising the identification information, and a time gap between the first infrared signal and the second infrared signal and a controller that activates the infrared emitter and that sets the time gap the first infrared signal and the second infrared signal. The monitor communication circuitry. The medical device includes a medical sensor and an infrared receiver disposed on the video laryngoscope and that receives the first infrared signal and the second infrared signal. The medical device also includes communication circuitry that communicates the acquired airway images to the monitor communication circuitry when a processor validates a pairing between the video laryngoscope and the monitor.

Abstract: A safety mechanism for medical treatment devices includes a switch actuator that depresses a power activation switch after movement in a first direction followed movement in a second direction. The safety mechanism thus prevents accidental or unintentional delivery of power to a heating segment of the medical treatment device.

Abstract: The present embodiments enable the length and/or diameter of the heating segment of a medical treatment device to be adjusted on the fly during a treatment procedure, without a need to interrupt the procedure, thus allowing a single catheter to be used at different locations in a hollow anatomical structure.

Abstract: An enclosure of a power source for medical treatment devices includes a handle portion extending from a first surface of the enclosure. The handle portion includes a standoff extending away from the first surface, and a flange extending transversely from the standoff and defining a plane that is generally parallel to the first surface. Together, the first surface, the standoff, and the flange define an open annular space. A power cable may be wound about the standoff to at least partially occupy the open annular space. One or more notches in the flange are configured to seat the power cable to secure its loose end(s). In this manner, the power cable can be safely stored to reduce the risks that the power cable may become damaged, may interfere with other devices in the treatment area, or may be misplaced.
