Abstract: A urine removal device includes a pouch with a proximal opening that provides access to an internal compartment of the pouch that is suitable to contain urine. A fluid diverter system is disposed inside of the pouch and extends from the proximal portion of the pouch, where it interfaces via an outlet conduit member to the environment outside of the pouch, to the distal end of the pouch where it draws in urine from the pouch. The pouch has at least one air port to allow air flow through the device to support suction that is applied inside of the pouch. The fluid diverter system has at least one conduit member configured to draw urine from the distal portion of the pouch up to the proximal end of the pouch, and into the outlet conduit member where it exits the fluid collection device.

Abstract: A urine removal device includes a plurality of layers suitable to capture and transfer urine. A conduit system is disposed inside of the device and extends from the proximal portion of the device, where it interfaces via an outlet conduit member, to the distal end of the device where it draws in urine from the device. The device allows air flow through the device to support suction that is applied. The fluid layer system has at least one conduit configured to draw urine from the distal portion of the device up to the proximal end of the device, and into the outlet conduit where it exits the urine removal device.

Abstract: The invention comprises an enema device configured for fluid delivery and evacuation management—which includes a retaining component for retaining a part of the enema device within the rectum, coupled with a collection component for collecting stool or liquid discharge received from the rectum. The device may additionally include a fluid delivery component to enable delivery of enema fluid to the colon, and/or a withdrawal component to support safe removal of the device from the patient.

Abstract: The present invention provides devices for collection of stool or fecal discharge. In an embodiment said device comprising a retaining component configured for deployment within a subject's rectum and having an annular cross-section, said annular cross-section of the retaining component forming a fluid inlet into an open end of a collection component affixed to said retaining component and forming a receptacle for matter discharged from a subject's rectum.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a tube changer device and methods of use are described herein. A tube changer device to aid in placement or replacement of an endotracheal tube including tubular shaft having a hollow interior forming a main lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end and a dilator portion at the distal end. The dilator portion having a tapered profile with an outer diameter that varies along a length measured from a junction point on the tubular shaft to a blunt tip. The main lumen extending through the dilator portion to the blunt tip. The tube changer device configured to be slidably received within the endotracheal tube. The tubular shaft can be flexible. The tube changer device can be used with or without a stylet for the placement or replacement of an endotracheal tube.

Abstract: The invention relates to point-of-care fluidic assays. In particular, the invention provides systems and assemblies for performing point-of-care, fluidic assays—preferably involving self-contained, portable fluidic assay systems or assemblies.
