  • Cordless Pulse oximeter
    Patent number: 6006120
    Abstract: A replaceable sensing module is provided for use in a pulse oximetry device, allowing for quick replacement of a failed sensor element. A fingertip pad and a fingertip cover form the sensing module and cooperate to form a receptacle into which a patient's fingertip can be inserted. The sensing module has an internal spring, thereby permitting the module to be inserted into various oximetry type devices. The module has mounting rails and a multi-pin electrical connector, allowing a user to quickly replace the module in the event of component failure.

  • Syringe holder and applicator
    Patent number: 4787891
    Abstract: A syringe holder and applicator provides a unique latch mechanism for mounting a syringe on a slider and loading the syringe into a holder. The latch mechanism pivots on the slider in such a way that it may be engaged and retracted against the force of a spring, pulling the slider into a cocked position, pivoted to a position that allows the syringe to be placed on the slider and mounted in the holder, and then pivoted into the cocked position, locking the syringe to the holder and conditioning the device for administering an injection. The slider and syringe are maintained in a position of retraction against the spring by a detent which may be released by a finger operated contact or trigger button.
