Abstract: A notification system is provided that provides notification of patient events such as movement and/or incontinence. The notification system provides for a plurality of different pressure sensor pads as well as an incontinence pad to be used in association with a single monitor.

Abstract: A microorganism collection device comprises: (a) a base, the base comprising (i) a reservoir comprising a bottom and a side wall extending up from the bottom, (ii) a culture medium within the reservoir, the culture medium disposed upon the bottom of the reservoir and comprising a top surface that is elevated from the bottom higher than the side wall of the reservoir, (iii) a first tab extending laterally outward relative to the reservoir; and (b) a lid comprising (i) an associated state where the lid is covering the culture medium and (ii) a dissociated state where the lid is separated from the base and not covering the culture medium.

Abstract: A portable pump is provided for negative pressure wound therapy for drawing a vacuum from a wound site via a tube. The pump includes an inlet configured to attach the tube from the wound site; a canister in fluid communication with the inlet for collecting fluids drained from the wound site; and a manually-actuated pump mechanism for creating the vacuum. The pump mechanism includes a vacuum chamber in fluid communication with the canister; a piston disposed in the vacuum chamber; and a pump handle coupled to the piston to move the piston in the vacuum chamber between first and second positions to create the vacuum. The pump handle moving between a retracted position and an extended position. The piston is in the first position when said pump handle is in the retracted position and is in the second position when said pump handle is in the extended position.
