Abstract: Methods and devices for reducing inflammation, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines molecules and increasing anti-inflammatory signaling molecules in a mammal is provided. In at least one embodiment, a device comprising, a power supply; an amplifier; an antenna and a waveform generator is provided and the one or more signals have an aperiodic continuous waveform function or an aperiodic pulse train that reduce inflammation, reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines molecules and/or increases anti-inflammatory signaling molecules in a mammal.

Abstract: An apparatus having an outer wall that encompasses an interior chamber that holds a predetermined volume of fluid and gas where the gas rises to one end of the interior chamber and the fluid flows to the other end of the interior chamber. The apparatus also has an inlet port that allows for fluid to ingress into the interior chamber and an outlet port that allows for fluid to egress out of the interior chamber.

Abstract: An air removal device for an intravenous fluid system includes a housing with an inlet for fluid communication with a fluid source, a fluid outlet for fluid communication with a blood vessel of a patient, and an air outlet. The air removal device further includes a disrupting element disposed within the housing in a flow path between the inlet and the fluid outlet, and an air chamber in fluid communication with the air outlet. The disrupting element includes a protrusion extending across the flow path. The flow path includes a first cross-sectional flow area at the inlet, and a second cross-sectional flow area at the protrusion. The second cross-sectional flow area is smaller than the first cross-sectional flow area.
