Patent number: 11846280Abstract: A flushing pump including: a pump configured to draw fluid from a reservoir and expel the drawn fluid from a fluid outlet; a processor configured to control operation of the pump; and a remote controller connection port in electrical communication with the processor. The remote controller connection port including: an output system connection point; an input system connection point; a debugging connection point; and a ground connection point held at a reference voltage level. Wherein the processor is configured to output diagnostic information to the output system connection point in response to the debugging connection point receiving a signal at the reference voltage level.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: KEYMED (MEDICAL & INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT) LIMITEDInventors: Chu Wang, Simon Morrison, Gareth Sykes

Publication number: 20230309810Abstract: A medical fluid temperature management system for a medical procedure including: a container containing fluid for supply to a medical instrument; a pump operable to withdraw fluid from the container and supply fluid to the medical instrument; a heater located externally to the container and configured to heat the fluid in the container; a first sensor to detect an ambient temperature; a second sensor to detect a temperature of the heater; and a processor in communication with the first and second sensors and the processor adjusting operating parameter(s) of the heater based on a difference between a detected ambient temperature and temperature of the heater, and based on a relationship between the temperature of the heater and a temperature of the fluid in the container and a relationship between the ambient temperature and the temperature of the heater, to maintain the temperature of the fluid within a predetermined temperature range.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: Keymed (Medical & Industrial Equipment) LimitedInventor: Gareth SYKES

Patent number: 11619221Abstract: A peristaltic pump comprises a rotor with rollers and first and second tracks mounted on opposites sides of the rotor. Each track is moveable between a first position adjacent the rotor and a second position spaced from the rotor. The tracks may be linked and moveable together so that as one track moves towards the rotor, the other moves away from the rotor and vice versa. In this way, a single pump can be used to provide two different modes of operation, e.g. pumping liquid when one track is adjacent the rotor and applying suction when the other track is adjacent the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2018Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Keymed (Medical & Industrial Equipment) LimitedInventors: Gareth Sykes, Mohammed Afzal

Patent number: 10844850Abstract: A pump monitoring system includes a pump with a pump body and a releasable head. An RFID transponder is secured to the pump head and an RFID reader in communication with a processor is provided in the pump body. The transponder receives and stores information relating to operation of the pump head. The reader reads information from the transponder and transmits further information to the transponder. The processor interprets the information from the transponder and controls operation of the pump in response.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Keymed (Medical & Industrial Equipment) Ltd.Inventor: Gareth Sykes
