  • Publication number: 20220362449
    Abstract: Fluidic devices, methods, and systems are disclosed. One system may comprises a sheath, a delivery module, and a removal module. The sheath includes a working lumen, a delivery lumen, and a removal lumen. The delivery module is configured to move a fluid from a fluid reservoir and into a body cavity through the delivery lumen. The removal module is configured to move the fluid and a particulate contained therein out of the body cavity through the removal lumen, through a filtration device that removes the particulate, and back into the fluid reservoir. One method comprises placing a distal end of sheath into a body cavity, energizing the working lumen to generate a particulate in the cavity, moving the fluid into the cavity to engage the particulate, and moving the fluid and the contaminant from the body cavity, through a filter for removing the contaminant, and back into the fluid source.

  • Publication number: 20180144825
    Abstract: A method of clinical resource management includes receiving an expert request associated with an expertise domain, where the expert request includes patient information, a proposed procedure date, an indication of a product, an indication of a procedure type, and/or an estimated cost. A caregiver, certified as an expert with regard to the expertise domain, is identified; and a notification of the expert request is provided to a caregiver device associated with the caregiver. The method includes receiving, from the caregiver device, an acceptance indication indicating that the caregiver has accepted the expert request; and providing, to the caregiver device associated with the selected caregiver, an acceptance confirmation indicating that the caregiver's acceptance satisfies the expert request.
