Abstract: A surgical clip applier includes a drive housing, an elongate shaft extending distally from the drive housing, and an end effector arranged at a distal end of the shaft. The end effector includes first and second jaw members, a cam slidably engageable with the first and second jaw members, and an actuation cable extending from the drive housing and operatively coupled to the cam. An articulation joint interposes the end effector and the shaft and includes a distal clevis coupled to the end effector, a proximal clevis coupled to a distal end of the shaft, and a spacer interposing the distal and proximal clevises. Longitudinal movement of the actuation cable moves the cam distally to collapse the first and jaw members.

Abstract: A medication delivery device (MDD) (e.g., injection pen, wearable pump) is paired with an external device (e.g., smart phone, iPad, computer) via wireless link or wireline connection. The MDD provides to the external device captured data from the flow sensor relating to medicine delivery to a patient to ensure complete delivery and minimize MDD misuse or malfunction or inaccuracies in dosing. The MDD can have Bluetooth™ and/or near field communication (NFC) communication circuits for proximity-based pairing and connectivity with the external device for real-time or deferred transfer of captured data to the external device, depending on memory and power availability at the MDD. The MDD or external device can use captured data and corresponding time stamps to determine flow infomatics such as flow rate, total dose delivered, and dose completion status. An LED on the MDD indicates states such as powered on, paired, delivery in progress and delivery completion.
