Abstract: An adjustable shelf includes a wall mount for coupling to a wall. A fixed post extends downwardly from the wall mount along a first axis. A post assembly has a rotatable tube coupled to the fixed post so that the rotatable tube rotates about the first axis. An arm extends from the rotatable tube along a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. A shaft rotatably couples within the arm and extends from the arm along the second axis, the shaft being rotatable about the second axis between an operational orientation and a storage orientation. A tray extends from the shaft for holding a keyboard. In the storage orientation, the tray is substantially parallel to the wall and, in the operational orientation, the tray is at an angle with respect to the wall. A locking assembly selectively fixes the tray in the operational orientation and the storage orientation.

Abstract: A system and method for administering nitrous oxide to a patient has a fluid control system that allows a user to monitor and control the supply of gases to a patient. A shutoff valve allows a user to selectively activate the fluid control system. Oxygen flow is adjusted by a flow controlling valve. A differential pressure regulator allows flow of nitrous oxide in response to sufficient oxygen flow. Flow of the nitrous oxide is further controlled by a ratio controlling valve. A display shows the flow of the gases through the fluid control system. A flush valve allows a user to flush the output with oxygen. A flow indicator light may be included. An optional output selector allows the user to direct the flow to one of various output ports. An optional safety scavenge valve prevents operation of the fluid control system when there is insufficient scavenge vacuum pressure.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for administering nitrous oxide. The system includes a fluid control system for controlling the flow of nitrous oxide and oxygen to the patient. A nitrous oxide and oxygen supply, vacuum source, a breather bag, and a nasal delivery interface system are fluidly connected to the fluid control system and a patient. The fluid control system also includes a safety scavenge system including a mass airflow sensor, master controller, nitrous oxide valve, and alarm. The mass airflow sensor reads the scavenging vacuum pressure which it communicates to the master controller. Depending upon the scavenging vacuum pressure, the master controller can activate an alarm or shut off the flow of nitrous oxide. In operation, the present invention provides a system for administering anesthesia/analgesia gas which prevents excessively high volumes of exhaled nitrous oxide in the operatory environment through monitoring of the scavenge vacuum pressure.

Abstract: The present invention is a nitrous oxide safety system or method that provides a safety control valve actuated by low-vacuum fluids to control the release of nitrous oxide therethrough. The nitrous oxide safety system may include a low-vacuum fluid, a nitrous oxide fluid, a scavenging mask assembly, and a safety control valve. The low-vacuum fluid is generated by a vacuum source operating to achieve a predetermined parameter and the nitrous oxide fluid is provided by a nitrous oxide source. The scavenging mask assembly is fluidly connected with the nitrous oxide source and the vacuum source. The safety control valve is fluidly connected to the fluid connection between the nitrous oxide source and the vacuum source. The safety control valve is configured to be actuated when the low-vacuum fluid is input to the valve to release a flow of the nitrous oxide fluid through the safety control valve.
