  • Patent number: 11782042
    Abstract: Contamination detection systems, kits, and techniques are described for testing surfaces for the presence of hazardous contaminants, while minimizing user exposure to these contaminants. Even trace amounts of contaminants can be detected. A collection kit provides a swab that is simple to use, easy to hold and grip, allows the user to swab large areas of a surface, and keeps the user's hands away from the surface being tested. The kit also provides open and closed fluid transfer mechanism to transfer the collected fluid to a detection device while minimizing user exposure to hazardous contaminants in the collected fluid. Contamination detection kits can rapidly collect and detect hazardous drugs, including trace amounts of antineoplastic agents, in healthcare settings at the site of contamination.

  • Patent number: 11380074
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to augmented reality devices for generating a composite scene including a real-world test environment and an augmented reality overlay visually representing a test area of the environment. Some devices can include wearable displays for displaying an overlay to a user, and other devices can include projectors for illuminating the test environment with the overlay.

  • Patent number: 10966589
    Abstract: Debris pans and debris pan assemblies are provided. A debris pan includes a bin with an open end for receiving debris and a closed interior for containing debris. A plurality of baffles protrude from a floor of the closed interior, and the plurality of baffles may be configured to slow debris flow inside the closed interior. A debris pan assembly includes a bin, a yoke attached to the bin, and an elongated shaft attached to the yoke. The debris pan assembly also includes a latch on the bin that is selectively pivotable between a first position and a second position. The first position of the latch is configured to engage the yoke such that the bin and the yoke are rigidly positioned relative to one another. The second position of the latch is configured to disengage the yoke from the bin.
