Patent number: 11768100Abstract: A medication dispensing device may include a plurality of trays, each tray optionally including a load cell configured to measure a mass/weight of a medication contained in the respective tray. Each tray is placeable in a medication accessible position and a medication inaccessible position. The medication dispensing device includes a user interface configured to provide instructions and/or other information with regard to access for each medication. A processor provides instructions to selectively place each tray in the medication accessible position, and to determine, based on any change in the mass of the medication placed in the medication accessible position, whether the appropriate amount of the medication is removed from the tray.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2021Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: CARDINAL HEALTH COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Mark Allen Pilkington, Benjamin Eli Stormer, Daniel Lee Michael, Jason R.

Patent number: 11723796Abstract: A system for cooling or heating a body part includes at least one bladder, a pump, a heat exchanger, a first fluid line in fluid communication with the heat exchanger and the at least one bladder, a second fluid line in fluid communication with the at least one bladder and the heat exchanger, a main reservoir and a separator. The heat exchanger is in fluid communication with the pump. The first fluid line is located downstream from the heat exchanger and the second fluid line is located downstream from the at least one bladder when the system is operating to cool or heat the body part. The separator is in fluid communication with the main reservoir and the pump and is located below the main reservoir to receive fluid under the influence of gravity from the main reservoir and to deliver fluid to the pump via gravity.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: TECTRAUM, INC.Inventors: Sergey Makarov, Jason R. Ertel, David J. Boll

Publication number: 20220378961Abstract: A sterilization, disinfection, sanitization, or decontamination system having a chamber defining a region, and a generator for creating a free radical effluent with reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and other species and/or a vaporizer. A closed loop circulating system without a free-radical destroyer is provided for supplying the mixture of free radicals from the generator mixed with the hydrogen peroxide solution in the form of the effluent to the chamber. The system is used in sterilizing, disinfecting, sanitizing, or decontaminating items in the chamber or room and, with a wound chamber, in treating wounds on a body. The wound chamber may be designed to maintain separation from wounds being treated. Various embodiments can control moisture to reduce or avoid unwanted condensation. Some embodiments can be incorporated into an appliance having a closed space, such as a washing machine. Some embodiments may include a residual coating device that deposits a bactericidal coating on sterilized items.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Czeslaw Golkowski, Rick Shea, Jonathan W. Greene, Mark Golkowski, Danwei Ye, Robert Allen, Ben Parker, Sergey Makarov, Jason R. Ertel

Patent number: 11458039Abstract: The system includes a pump, a heat exchanger, a bladder, a thermometer, and a controller. The heat exchanger is in fluid communication with the pump. The bladder is configured to be placed over a carotid artery, and is in fluid communication with the heat exchanger. The thermometer is located with respect to the heat exchanger and configured to measure a temperature of fluid downstream from the heat exchanger. The controller is in electrical communication 28 with the thermometer and the heat exchanger. The controller is configured to 20 control power delivered to or flow through the heat exchanger such that the temperature of the fluid downstream from the heat exchanger measured by the thermometer is between 2 degrees C. and 10 degrees C. for between 10 minutes and 50 minutes.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: TecTraum, Inc.Inventors: John F. Zak, III, Jason R. Ertel, Sergey Makarov, David J. Boll, Alex Velet, Virginia Stewart
