Publication number: 20240139049Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described for mounting medical equipment on IV poles, bed rails and other supporting structures in medical facilities including operating rooms and critical care sections. A system including a mounting hanger and corresponding equipment housing is disclosed that allows quick mounting and dismounting of equipment from a supporting structure. The novel structural design of mounting hanger including a symmetrical t-slot feature and a plunger lock allows a piece of equipment to be mounted on a supporting structure in multiple orientations as per the requirement which allows a user to optimize the placement of equipment in the medical environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: David Lee Jepsen, Richard A. Villarreal, Ryan Bowman

Patent number: 11949188Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described for connecting multiple electrical connectors as a group with corresponding receiving sockets, or connection ports, in a medical device. A multiple electrical connector plate acts as an intermediate connector for quickly engaging or disengaging a group of electrodes with the corresponding device as a single unit. The connection plate includes multiple sections that allow a connector to be snapped securely in place on the connection plate such that the connector does not pull or push free from its snapped in location, resulting in group handling of electrical connectors that is less time consuming, reduces errors and positively impacts the quality of medical care.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Cadwell Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: David Lee Jepsen, Richard A. Villarreal

Patent number: 11777243Abstract: A connector receptacle for connecting with a corresponding connector plug coupled with electrodes being used for performing EMG procedure on a patient is provided. The receptacle includes a first ball bearing pressing against a first end of a housing of the plug and, preferably, a second ball bearing pressing against a first end of the housing of the plug when the plug is connected to the receptacle for exerting a retention force against the plug. The first and the second ball bearings are pressed against the first and the second ends respectively by using a spring force generated, for example, by a retention band.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Cadwell Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Richard A. Villarreal, David Lee Jepsen
