Abstract: A sponge counting system for maintaining an inventory of articles used during a medical or surgical procedure, where, in the event an article for which the status needs to be reconciled is left in a patient, the system generates a record that the article is in a partially reconciled state and when a subsequent procedure is performed, the scanner employed during the procedure has the records of the partially reconciled articles associated with the patient.

Abstract: A respiratory therapy apparatus includes components operable to simultaneously provide a High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) therapy and a Mechanical Insufflation/Exsufflation (MIE) therapy to a patient. The respiratory therapy apparatus includes a controller that controls a synchronization of the HFCWO therapy and the MIE therapy to provide respiratory therapy to the patient to effectively clear mucous or induce deep sputum from the lungs of patient.

Abstract: A handling apparatus for a mobile electronic device, such as a handheld smart phone. The handling apparatus includes a base, a first wing body and a second wing body. The base defines a length and a width. The first and second wing bodies each define a fixed end connected to the base and a free end opposite the fixed end. The free end is spaced from the base in a deployed state of the corresponding wing body. The first and second wing bodies are arranged to extend from the corresponding fixed end to the corresponding free end in an identical direction relative to a length of the base.
