  • Patent number: 11065385
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems that include a flow probe that senses fluid flow or mass flow of fluid delivery to a patient. Based at least in part on the sensed fluid or mass flow, the flow probe provides flow-related data (e.g., volume or mass flow rate) that the system uses to derive a volume of fluid being delivered. The fluid can be delivered from an IV bag, another in-line port, or a combination of the two. The disclosed systems provide fluid volume and/or fluid rate for display to a clinician and an informative understanding of what volume of fluid/mass a patient has received.

  • Publication number: 20180353680
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods that automate the identification of the start and end of a fluid bolus and calculate the volume of fluid given during the challenge. A flow measurement device is used to measure fluid flow in a conduit (e.g., IV tubing) and an algorithm is used to determine a start time and the stop time of a fluid bolus. In addition, the volume of fluid given during the bolus is calculated. Advantageously, this provides accurate and automatic collection of the start time of the fluid bolus, the income of the fluid bolus, and the volume of the fluid bolus. Historically, these data are estimated by the clinician used to assess the hemodynamic response to the fluid bolus.

  • Publication number: 20170100082
    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a patient monitoring and display system. The system allows a clinician to trigger the occurrence of a clinical event, and record a patient's status following the clinical event. The system calculates and displays a change in a patient's status resulting from the clinical event. The system allows multiple parameters to be tracked and displayed on a single screen. The system can also display various animated organs, such as a heart or a lung, corresponding to an operation of the organs in the patient.

  • Patent number: 7595723
    Abstract: In one embodiment the present invention provides a wireless communication system for medical sensor data. This communications system includes a portable unit that connects to a wireless sensor and a monitor unit that connects to a sensor monitor. Once activated, the units will self organize into a wireless communication structure controlled by the portable unit. As other pairs of units activate, they can self-organize their transmissions by joining an existing network or by creating new networks.

  • Publication number: 20080200837
    Abstract: A disposable, closed fluid sampling system for use with a medical conduit line, especially for taking blood samples from a pressure monitoring line. The conduit line has at least one fluid sampling site interposed between a distal segment of tubing and a proximal segment of tubing. The system includes a disposable subsystem having a bypass cannula adapted to engage the sampling site, a reservoir for drawing a prime volume of fluid past the sampling site, and a fluid sampling container. A 3-way stopcock may connect the reservoir, bypass cannula, and sampling vessel for controlling the sampling procedure. The bypass cannula may simultaneously place the subsystem into fluid communication with an inner chamber of the sampling site and exclude the proximal segment of the conduit line. Alternatively, a stopcock immediately adjacent the sampling site in the proximal segment may be utilized.
