Abstract: A device for organizing slack in a flexible line comprising a unitary element with clips formed in the top and bottom of the element for releasably retaining a flexible line at a point intermediate the ends of the line in the absence of an inwardly pinching bias. The device preferably has a saddle curved first major surface.

Abstract: A mirror laryngoscope blade includes a curved shaft, a mount on a proximal end of the shaft for attaching the blade to a handle, and a flange extending from an edge of the shaft. The mirror includes a primary viewing surface and a tip inclined toward the shaft. The tip is located between the distal end and the distal quarter-point of the shaft.

Abstract: The infusion of intravenous fluid into a patient is indirectly measured by monitoring the decreasing weight of an intravenous fluid receptacle as fluid flows from the receptacle to the patient. The method hereof includes the steps of taking a plurality of samples of the weight of the receptacle, calculating the difference between succeeding weight samples, comparing the weight difference against predetermined quality control criteria, taking additional samples if the criteria are not met, and converting the weight loss difference into volume of fluid infused into a patient. The apparatus hereof includes a transducer for sensing the weight of the fluid containing receptacle, circuitry for converting the analog signal generated by the transducer into a digital electronic electrical signal, and a processor for calculating the volume infused into a patient as a function of the sensed weight of the receptacle.
