The footrest includes two release actuators, each release actuator configured to release a respective locking mechanism.

Abstract: Organs-on-chips are microfluidic devices for culturing living cells in micrometer sized chambers in order to model physiological functions of tissues and organs. Engineered patterning and continuous fluid flow in these devices has allowed culturing of intestinal cells bearing physiologically relevant features and sustained exposure to bacteria while maintaining cellular viability, thereby allowing study of inflammatory bowl diseases. However, existing intestinal cells do not possess all physiologically relevant subtypes, do not possess the repertoire of genetic variations, or allow for study of other important cellular actors such as immune cells. Use of iPSC-derived epithelium, including IBD patient-specific cells, allows for superior disease modeling by capturing the multi-faceted nature of the disease.

Abstract: A medical device is configured to detect, based on a reading from the sensor, a state of a first component of the plurality of electronic components, identify a maintenance requirement of the medical device based on the detected state of the first component, restrict a first function of the medical device based on the identified maintenance requirement, transmit the identified maintenance requirement to a server system, receive from the server system an instruction addressing the identified maintenance requirement, receiving a first access request, determine that the first access request is a maintenance access request, and in response to the maintenance access request, display the instruction on a user interface of the medical device.

Abstract: A medical device is configured to store, in a session memory, data regarding operational parameters of the medical device, changes to the parameters, and physiological data of a patient associated with the medical device. A clinician may select, via a user interface of the medical device, a portion of the session memory to a remote device with a request for assistance regarding a problem occurring at the medical device. The portion of the session may be reviewed at the remote device in a graphical copy of a user interface of the medical device as it appeared when the data was recorded, and a workflow is generated at the remote device and sent to the medical device to assist the clinician in resolving issues at the medical device. A session may be started without an identification of the patient or a medical component, and the identification updated at a later time.

Abstract: Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based organoid technology has tremendous potential to elucidate the intestinal and colonic epithelium's role in health and disease. Described herein are methods and compositions for generation of intestinal and colonic cells from iPSCs. Derivation of iPSCs from subjected afflicted with early onset and very early onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), serves as an excellent model for understanding disease pathogenesis.
