Abstract: A system for medication delivery includes: a medication dispensing device arranged to deliver a medication package containing a predefined dose of medication to a patient at a preset time; a medication distribution system arranged to distribute the medication packages containing the predefined doses of medication to the medication dispensing device; at least one sensing arrangement arranged in the same premises as the medication dispensing device and arranged to measure at least one patient specific parameter for said patient; at least one processor arranged to process the at least one patient specific parameter and notify the medication distribution system if the at least one patient specific parameter is determined to deviate from an expected range. The medication distribution system may accordingly adjust the dose of medication distributed to the medication dispensing device.

Abstract: A medication delivery apparatus, including: a housing configured to accommodate a strip of medication packages in its interior and having an outlet for outputting medication packages from the interior of the housing; a lid of the housing configured to enable access to the interior of the housing; and an electronically controllable lock mechanism positioned in the interior of the housing and configured to lock the lid in a closed position. The apparatus is configured such that the lock mechanism is configured to be controlled from the exterior of the housing by a control device.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a time-controlled dispensing device comprising at least a tray and a cover, which may be lockable, for example via snap fitting, for consecutive dispensing of doses of medicaments. The device comprises a desired number of storage compartments and/or cartridges, for example disposable cartridges, each containing a predetermined dose of one or several medicaments. The tray is fitted with a transporting means for displacing the tray to a position where a desired compartment and/or cartridge will be in the only dispensing position suitable for removal of the dose, as a response to a signal from a timing means. The timing means is connected to a reminder and/or an alarming means, directed to the person using the device and a person at a distance, respectively. By way of the alarming means, removal of doses is indicated, for example through the manipulation of a lever or a hatch, and a signal may be sent for example via GSM or via the internet.

Abstract: A collision prevention detector (22), and a method therefor, to be mounted on a vehicle (10), transmits a sequence of transmissions of IR signals. The signals are transmitted in sequences alternating between at least one at the right and to the left positioned LED (24, 26, 34, 36), when both signals provide a return/reflected signal to IR-receiver an object (12) is determined as present within the area/zone from the point where the transmitted signals intersect/cross. Sequencing of signals makes it possible to position a return signal from an object (12), as one of the signals has to confirm the other signal to provide a warning signal. Moreover, a first set of LED's detects objects in a near-field zone (40) of the vehicle, and a second set detects objects beyond the first field in a far-field zone (42), whereby at least two sets of the LED's are positioned to the right and to the left.

Abstract: A warning device for mounting onto a vehicle, in order to attract the attention of the driver when another vehicle (2) or object is located in a position that is wholly or partially critical for the driver. The device comprises two sources (5, 6) of laser radiation arranged at a distance from each other, a convex lens (8) arranged outside of each source and a position-sensitive radiation detector (7) arranged between the sources (5, 6). The device reacts with different levels of warning signals on the detection of direction indicator (58), angular deviation (60) of a wheel or the steering wheel, speed (62), etc., in combination.

Abstract: A container (1) having a lid part (4) which is pivotally connected to the container by means of a pivot device (6), and which is provided with a handle part (5) which extends from the pivot device (6) in a direction opposite to the direction in which the lid part (4) extends. The container has a bottom and an outer surface which extends from the bottom, and presents at the end of the surface remote from the bottom a neck portion (2) which is terminated with an opening. The container is characterized in that the pivot device (6) can be moved circumferentially around the neck portion (2) so that when closing the lid part (4), the handle part (5) is moved from a position in which it extends essentially contiguous with the container surface to another position in which the handle part (5) is spaced further from the container surface.

Abstract: A blood pressure measuring device includes a cuff (1) intended to be placed around the upper arm or the thigh of a person, a pressure sensor (2) and a manometer (3). The values measured by the cuff are automatically corrected in a correction unit (4), so as to eliminate systematic errors contingent on the pulse frequency and the pressure level prevailing at the moment of measuring blood pressure. The device also includes an infeed unit (6) into which data relating to the person's age, sex and arm circumference is inserted. The correction unit (4) then uses this data to correct the values measured by the cuff, so that systematic errors contingent on age, sex and arm circumference will be eliminated. The corrective values of the systolic and diastolic pressure are then displayed on a display unit (8), these pressure values being independent of the person's age, sex, arm circumference, pulse frequency and pressure level.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved adapter for a disposal package. The inventive adapter includes a first through hole, extending and terminating in a cylindrical socket, a second through hole provided to receive an aeration tube and a third through hole which opens into a tube socket designed to receive a transparent tube. The transparent tube is designed to be curved around to face toward the bottom of the package to indicate liquid level therein. The adapter is further provided with a cutting means formed in the shape of a triangular pyramid body having edges which form walls terminating in a tip. The base of the cutting edges is spaced a predetermined distance from a face of the adapter to provide a space therebetween thicker than the thickness of the package top to allow package top materials to enter into the space and form a seal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a blood pressure cuff for measuring slender, normal and thick upper arms as well as thighs. The invention includes a number of sections defining the width of the field acting around the upper arm or thigh at pressure measurement, which sections are connected via a common passageway, having a channel for each section to a force pump creating the pressure, and a throttle means is arranged to connect one or more channels with the air pump depending on the thickness of the arm or thigh.

Abstract: The invention refers to a method of mixing, for example, cytostatica stored in an ampule (1) provided with a rubber closure (8) or corresponding closure, with, for example, sterile water stored in a second ampule (2) provided with a rubber closure (12) or corresponding closure. The invention is characterized in that a first tube (7) of hypodermic needle shape, which is connected by a hose connection (6) to a first port (5) of a multi-way valve (4), is pierced through the rubber closure (8) of one ampule (1), that a second tube (11) of hypodermic needle shape, which is connected by a hose connection (10) to a second port (9) of the multi-way valve (4), is pierced through the rubber closure (12) of said second ampule (2). The interior of the ampules is interconnected by a hose connection (13), the two respective ends of which have the shape of hypodermic needles (14,15) and are pierced each through one rubber closure (8,12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a package for powdered material, from which package it is possible to discharge equally large predetermined measured amounts of the material, irrespective of the amount remaining in the package. This is possible in that the package is provided with guide surfaces 1,2,3, at one end, which surfaces form a space, which by a gap (8) is separated from the main space of the package and which upon turning of the package from upside down position to upright position is filled with the intended accurate amount of material, which material is discharged through the opening (5) at repeated turning to upside down position.
