Publication number: 20150176860Abstract: An air warmer has a housing whereinto is positioned a noise reduction mechanism having a casing that encases a sound reducing structure having a maze like cavity. An axial fan is positioned within the sound reducing structure. In operation, air is drawn into the sound reducing structure by the fan along a first tortuous passage. The air is directed by the fan through another tortuous passage to an air outlet to inflate a convective blanket with an air hose connected to the air outlet. The configuration of the maze like cavity and the material from which the nosie reducing structure is formed reduce the noise generated by the fan. A heater is provided proximate to the air outlet to heat the output air. A filter is provided at the air inlet to filter the ambient air drawn into the warmer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2014Publication date: June 25, 2015Applicant: Smiths Medical ASD, Inc.Inventors: Paul J. Hattan, Christopher Thorp, James P. Moorman, Paul A. Pilosi, Robert Parsons, Lynne M. Forrest, William L. Beling, Jay Ellingboe, Kristin A. Finberg, Prathyusha Salla, Bryan C. Stoddard

Patent number: 8882708Abstract: In general, this disclosure relates to techniques for providing a mating mechanism between at least one pressurizing unit and at least one corresponding sleeve in a powered medical fluid injection device. An example powered medical fluid injection device includes a sleeve and an injector head coupled to the sleeve. The sleeve has a notch with a predefined shape and size. The sleeve is configured to receive a pressurizing unit (such as a syringe) having an external tab with a predefined shape and size that are substantially identical to the predefined shape and size of the notch in the sleeve, such that the tab mates with the notch when the sleeve receives the pressurizing unit. The injector head is configured to inject a quantity of a medical fluid from the pressurizing unit during operation.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2008Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: ACIST Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Marty Hieb, Khoi Le, Bill West, Darryl Wrolson, Paul Pilosi

Patent number: 8740877Abstract: In general, this disclosure relates to techniques for implementation and use of a fluid connection assembly, having a locking mechanism, which may be connected to a medical fluid injection device. An example fluid connection assembly includes at least one fluid connector, a mating mechanism coupled to the at least one fluid connector and configured to connect the at least one fluid connector to a medical fluid injection device, and a locking mechanism coupled to the mating mechanism and movable into a locked position or an unlocked position. In this example, the fluid connection assembly becomes affirmatively coupled with the medical fluid injection device when the locking mechanism is in the locked position, and the fluid connection assembly becomes removably decoupled from the medical fluid injection device when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked position.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2011Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: ACIST Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Tom Borlaug, Marty Hieb, Khoi Le, Chris Lins, Steven Paul Plager, Darryl T.

Patent number: 8089030Abstract: A portable device is provided that is used to warm a mammography machine and which comprises a warmer and a holder for the warmer, the holder having a charging mechanism for charging the warmer. The warmer includes an enclosed heating element and power source. The heating element is precisely regulated to ensure that the sensitive imaging elements are not damaged by an over-temperature condition, while at the same time permitting a rapid heating of the warmer for high cycle use. The warmer warms surfaces of the mammography machine that contacts human skin.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2008Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Marvel Concepts, LLCInventors: Ann Wallin Harrington, Paul A.
