Abstract: Devices for detecting microorganism strains or target cellular analytes are provided. The device includes a filter holder, the filter holder comprising a tip portion; a nonwoven article disposed on the tip portion of the filter holder; and an adaptor attacked to the filter holder, the adaptor defining an aperture. Methods of detecting microorganisms and/or cellular analytes in a fluid sample using the devices are also provided. The method includes obtaining the device; placing a lumened or cannulated device in fluid communication with the device; and passing a fluid sample suspected of containing at least one microorganism strain or target cellular analyte from the lumened or cannulated device through the device and contacting the nonwoven article. The method further includes contacting the nonwoven article with at least one detection reagent and detecting the presence of the at least one microorganism strain or target cellular analyte concentrated by the nonwoven article.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus for providing pressurized, thermally conditioned air, comprising a casing, a housing in the casing describing an airflow pathway with an air diffusing outlet proximate to an outlet opening for providing a stream of pressurized air through the outlet opening, a convective module disposed part of the housing and the outlet opening via the airflow pathway. The apparatus can include a first sensor input port adjacent to a portion of the casing and configured to receive a signal indicative of a first physiological indicator and a first sensor output port adjacent to a portion of the casing and configured to transmit the signal indicative of the first physiological indicator. The apparatus can include a controller configured to determine a first physiological indicator value from the first sensor input port and perform at least one operation.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a temperature device having a flexible substrate; and an electrical circuit on a surface of the flexible substrate. The electrical circuit includes at least three thermal sensors including at least one skin thermal sensor, a plurality of electrical pads, a plurality of conductive traces connecting the at least three thermal sensors with the plurality of electrical pads.

Abstract: Provided is an endoscope port stopper including a first plug comprising a first central axis and a second plug comprising a second central axis, where the first plug is configured to releasably seal a first endoscope port and the second plug is configured to releasably seal a second endoscope port. In some embodiments, port stoppers may further include a third plug and/or a fourth plug.

Abstract: An endoscope flushing assembly is provided. In some embodiments, the flushing assembly may include an adapter and a stand. In some embodiments, the flushing assembly may further comprise a stopper. In some embodiments, the flushing assembly may further comprise a sample fluid tube. In some embodiments, the flushing assembly may further comprise a fluid receptacle. Also provided are a flushing assembly kit and a method of using the endoscope flushing assembly to evaluate the cleanliness and/or disinfection of an endoscope.
