  • Publication number: 20230172542
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system, apparatus and method directed to patient temperature control. The system can include a control module configured to provide fluid that is heated or cooled, a heating and cooling system configured to couple with the control module and receive the fluid, and a temperature sensor coupled to the control module, the temperature sensor configured to measure a body temperature of a patient and provide signals to the control module that indicate the body temperature. The system can include a neurostimulation device coupled to the control module to provide neurostimulation to the patient. The control module can include logic, stored on non-transitory, computer-readable medium that, when executed by one or more processors, causes performance of operations including generation and transmission of first instructions to the neurostimulation device causing initiation of a first neurostimulation procedure.

  • Publication number: 20230130563
    Abstract: A delivery device for delivering a medical fluid to a patient has a housing configured for receiving a container at least partially filled with the medical fluid. The delivery device further has a drive mechanism associated with the housing configured for delivering the medical fluid from the container to the patient in a dosing procedure. The delivery device further has a module configured for detecting at least one of a property of the dosing procedure and a property of the medical fluid. The module has at least one dose detection sensor configured for detecting an initiation, progression, and completion of the dosing procedure based on a position of a stopper within the container. The module further has at least one temperature sensor configured for measuring a temperature of the medical fluid within the container based on a temperature of the container.

  • Publication number: 20210369946
    Abstract: A delivery assembly includes a console including a vial containment region and a vial engagement mechanism extending from the console within the vial containment region. The engagement mechanism is configured to engage a vial assembly. The delivery assembly further includes a sled assembly removably coupled to the console at the vial containment region and a safety shield removably coupled to the console over the vial containment region such that the vial engagement mechanism and the sled assembly are encapsulated within the safety shield when the safety shield is coupled thereto. The sled assembly, the vial assembly, and the safety shield are configured to inhibit radioactive emissions from within the vial containment region.

  • Patent number: 10327706
    Abstract: Pairing is provided between first and second wireless devices in a physiological condition management system. The first and second wireless devices are placed in proximity to initiate generation of a secret key via a random process at one of the devices and to exchange the secret key with the other device using a wireless near field communication (NFC) link. The shared secret key is then used to encrypt data for communication between the first and second wireless devices via a different secure radio frequency (RF) wireless channel.
