Publication number: 20230346510Abstract: Equipment adaptor assembly and equipment stands are described where the adaptor may generally comprise an adaptor body having a width and a depth, and a connector extending from the adaptor body configured for securement to the equipment. A first recess may be defined by a brace positioned at a first location along the adaptor body, and a second recess may be defined at a second location at a distance from the first recess. The adaptor may be further configured to be interchangeably securable to a support structure via the first recess or second recess while maintaining a level orientation of the equipment such that securement via the first recess positions the equipment at a first height relative to horizontal and securement to the support structure via the second recess positions the equipment at a second height relative to horizontal where the first height and second height are different.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: Potrero Medical, Inc.Inventors: Hannah JACKSON, Rich KEENAN, Mark ZIEGLER

Patent number: 11679196Abstract: Disclosed is a chest drainage system which reduces or eliminates pooling of blood/liquid and/or clogging/clotting in the drainage tube. Generally, the chest drainage system continuously monitors chest tube status and clears pooled liquid when necessary to restore negative pressure to the chest. The system may include a valve device which is located between the patient's chest tube and drainage tube and may be used with any standard chest tube. The chest drainage system also includes a controller for monitoring the pressure at or near the valve device and/or at or near the suction device, and possibly a pump for assisting in clearance of pooled liquid and/or clots. The controller may also control the valve device and/or suction device in response to pressure signals.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2020Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Centese, Inc.Inventors: Evan S.

Patent number: 11655629Abstract: A connection sleeve for a cast-in-place anchor. The cast-in-place anchor including a suspension plate having a threaded opening. The cast-in-place anchor also including an externally threaded rod with a head. The threaded rod threadably connected to the suspension plate so that the rod and plate are perpendicular. A sleeve between the rod and plate allows the rod to be securely connected to the plate by simply urging the rod axially toward and into the sleeve to securely lock with and engage with the plate. The assembly resulting in an X shaped cast-in-place anchor assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: BLACK & DECKER INC.Inventors: Mark Ziegler, Robert La Barbera, Jack Dunning, Mark Serokosz

Publication number: 20200397956Abstract: Devices and methods for managing chest drainage include a drainage system with a chest tube having a chest tube drainage lumen and a drainage reservoir in fluid communication with the chest tube drainage lumen. A pump may be in fluid communication with the chest tube drainage lumen and a pressure sensor may be positioned proximal to the chest tube and in communication with the chest tube drainage lumen. A controller may be in communication with the pressure sensor and the pump, wherein the controller is configured to actuate the pump at a first suction level sufficient to drain a fluid from the chest tube drainage lumen. The controller is further configured to actuate the pump at a second suction level which is different from the first suction level such that an absence of attenuation in the second suction level over time is indicative of an obstruction in the chest tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2020Publication date: December 24, 2020Applicant: Centese, Inc.Inventors: Evan S.

Publication number: 20200384167Abstract: A device for draining bodily fluids is described herein which generally may comprise an elongate body defining one or more lumens configured to receive a bodily fluid from a cavity, e.g., bladder, of a patient body. The one or more lumens are in fluid communication with a reservoir which may receive the bodily fluid. A pumping mechanism may be used to urge the bodily fluid through the one or more lumens, where the pumping mechanism is configured to maintain an open space within the one or more lumens such that outflow of the bodily fluid through the one or more lumens remains unobstructed such that a negative pressure buildup in the cavity is inhibited. The device may also include a vent or valve mechanism in communication with the elongate body to allow air to enter or exit the one or more lumens.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2020Publication date: December 10, 2020Applicant: Potrero Medical, Inc.Inventors: Evan S.
