Publication number: 20230355085Abstract: The tube has a first lumen with a proximal end and an open distal end to be placed inside a body cavity. An outer wall encloses the first lumen and a camera lumen. A camera module (10) is arranged in the camera lumen at a distal end thereof so that the camera module is positioned adjacent the distal end of the first lumen. An image transmission cable (13) attached to the camera module extends through the camera lumen to connect to an image display device. The camera module is fixed in the camera lumen by means of a camera housing (14) including a tubular housing part (17) surrounding the camera module and a distal end wall (18). The tubular housing part and the distal end wall are integrally moulded and form one single housing element (19). The tubular housing part fits tightly into the camera lumen of the tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: AMBU A/SInventors: Jesper Domino RASK, Morten SØRENSEN, Martin Lund STØRUP, Lars Ulrik NIELSEN

Publication number: 20190282762Abstract: An injection device with a dose delivering mechanism being adapted to provide a non-visual, e.g. audible and/or tactile, feedback signal when a set dose has been at least substantially injected. A first and a second part of the injection device are adapted to perform a relative rotational movement with respect to each other. The relative rotational movement causes at least two parts of the injection device to abut or engage, and this abutment or engagement causes the non-visual feedback signal to be generated. A very distinct and precise feedback is provided as compared to prior art axial solutions because the generation of the feedback signal is initiated by the relative rotational movement. Feedback signal may be generated by a change in a rotational velocity of at least one part, e.g. by changing the pitch of a threaded portion or by engaging a non-rotating part and a rotating part, thereby causing the non-rotating part to start rotating.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2019Publication date: September 19, 2019Inventors: Claus Schmidt Moller, Bo Radmer, Lars Ulrik Nielsen, Christian Peter Enggaard
