Abstract: Described herein is a temperature device, including systems and methods associated therewith. The temperature device may include a housing. The temperature device may further include an actuation feature associated with the housing and configured to receive a user input. The temperature device may further include a sensing feature recessed within the housing and configured to detect a temperature condition in response to a receipt of the user input. The temperature device may further include a communication module operatively connected to the sensing feature and configured to transmit and receive information associated with a detection of the temperature condition.

Abstract: A combined multi-lumen sheath with a wire body and a filter. The filter may be removably coupled to the multi-lumen sheath within a filter capsule for temporary placement and retrieval.

Abstract: A hub assembly is provided for accommodating a medical professional to grip and manipulate two components of a catheter hub and move one component longitudinally relative to the other, then removably engaging the two components of the catheter hub to restrict movement there between. The two catheter hub components include a proximal hub and a distal hub. The proximal hub and the distal hub are configured to removably engage with one another. The proximal hub is affixed to a first catheter member, such as a multi-lumen catheter, while the distal hub is affixed to a second catheter member, such as a sheath. The first catheter member and the second catheter member are cooperatively engaged and concentric with one another. Relative movement of the proximal and distal hubs translates into relative movement of the first and second catheter members.

Abstract: A rapid exchange catheter having a vena cava filter and a method for percutaneous delivery of the rapid exchange vena cava filter for use in indicated medical situations in which prophylactic or therapeutic protection against pulmonary embolism are indicated.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a firing switch for a downhole ballistics device. More particularly, but not exclusively, this invention concerns a firing switch for a downhole ballistics device and a method of operating the firing switch. The invention also concerns various safety features relating to the firing switch. A firing switch arrangement for a downhole perforating gun (26, 28, 30, 32, 34) is provided, and comprises a firing switch (26?, 28?, 30?, 32?, 34?), and a detonator (40), the detonator arranged to be activated in response to an electrical signal from the firing switch. A removable safety tab (42) is associated with the detonator, the removable safety tab arranged to provide a short circuit to the detonator, such that the short circuit is removed if the removable safety tab is removed.

Abstract: A combined multi-lumen central access catheter and an embolic filter including ports proximal and distal the filter for fluid infusion and/or pressure sensing and infusion ports in the catheter to permit infusion of bioactive agents, flushing agents and/or contrast agents and managing the capture of the clot thereafter.
