Publication number: 20160345849Abstract: The present disclosure provides electrodes that possess components capable of indicating to an end-user when the electrode is in need of replacement. The electrode includes a substrate and a conductive composition on at least a portion of a surface of the substrate. In embodiments, the conductive composition includes at least one hydrogel and at least one component that precipitates from the hydrogel after repeated use of the electrode, thereby providing an indication to replace the electrode. In other embodiments, the electrodes include a hydrogel in combination with a pH indicator which changes its color or opacity upon repeated use of the electrode, thereby indicating an appropriate time for changing or replacing the electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2012Publication date: December 1, 2016Applicant: TYCO HEALTHCARE GROUP LPInventors: Warren W.

Patent number: 9233233Abstract: A catheter assembly includes an elongated main body defining two or more longitudinal lumens including distally positioned openings. One or more side-ports are defined in the main body communicating with at least one of the two or more longitudinal lumens. The catheter assembly also includes an inflatable balloon disposed around a portion of the main body. The inflatable balloon includes a distal end disposed substantially adjacent to a proximal side of one or more side-ports. The inflatable balloon in the inflated state is adapted to extend at partially over the one or more side-ports.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Sean Robert Pruitt, Lee C. Burnes

Patent number: 8260438Abstract: An electrode pad packaging system including an electrode pouch, an electrode pad (e.g., a defibrillation electrode pad), a wire and a shell is disclosed. The electrode pad is disposed at least partially within the electrode pouch. The wire extends from the electrode pad and, in a disclosed embodiment, at least a portion of the wire is attached to the shell. The shell is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the electrode pouch (e.g., the shell is secured to a portion of the electrode pouch). The shell includes a valve thereon that is configured to allow air to exit the electrode pouch. The valve may be configured to prevent air from entering the electrode pouch. A method of packaging an electrode pad is also disclosed. The method includes providing an electrode pouch, an electrode pad, a wire and a shell. A valve on the shell allows air to exit the electrode pouch.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2007Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Tyco Healthcare Group LPInventors: Peter Meyer, Lee C.

Patent number: 7588562Abstract: A fluid collection apparatus is provided that includes a housing configured for receipt of fluid and/or tissue for collecting fluid therefrom. A holder is configured with the housing to receive an evacuated tube. The holder can include a needle hub supporting a needle cannula in fluid communication with a port extending into a fluid well of the housing. A sloped bottom surface of the housing directs fluid to the fluid well. A sidewall extension or support component extends downward beyond the sloped bottom surface to allow the housing to be stood upright on a flat surface. In certain embodiments, the apparatus includes a tubular cavity to provide a recessed location of the needle cannula for preventing accidental needle injuries. An optional cap provides further shielding from needle cannula and safely maintains fluid in housing after use.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2004Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Tyco Healthcare Group LPInventors: Mary Jo.

Publication number: 20030229309Abstract: An anti-free flow device is disclosed for a fluid administration system (10) having a tube assembly (12) engageable with a pump (14) with one end of the tube assembly (12) connected to a source of fluid (46) and the other end in fluid flow communication with a patient. The valve device (16) comprises a tube portion (18) defining a channel (22) in-line along a portion of the tube assembly (12) and a body (20) disposed and securely retained inside the channel. Fluid flow is allowed through the tube assembly (12) whenever the tube assembly (12) is in a stretched condition, such as when the tube assembly (12) is engaged with the pump (14). However, fluid free flow is prevented whenever the tube assembly (12) is in a relaxed condition or disengaged from the pump (14).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2003Publication date: December 11, 2003Inventors: Mitchell Babkes, Michael J Kerwin, Glenn G Fournie, Lee C Burnes

Patent number: 6053905Abstract: A self-contained, self-lubricating catheter assembly is provided. A receptacle formed of two opposed flexible walls includes a main chamber and a lubrication chamber separated by a passage. A lubricant is provided in the lubrication chamber. A catheter is advanced from the main chamber through the lubrication chamber and picks up lubricant as it is passes through the lubrication chamber. A catheter grasping mechanism, located proximate the exit from the lubrication chamber, permits advancement of the catheter out of the receptacle and resists movement of the catheter back into the receptacle. The receptacle also includes one or more finger holes therethrough to allow the user to retain the receptacle on one or more fingers, thereby allowing the hand to more readily position the receptacle during use while advancing the catheter.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 1998Date of Patent: April 25, 2000Assignee: Tyco International (US) Inc.Inventors: Kenneth J. Daignault, Jr., Donald A. Coelho, Jr., Lee C. Burnes, James A. Walls
