Abstract: A fixture for immobilizing an arm of a patient for insertion of a catheter for coronary investigation and intervention has a fixture board for insertion under a mattress carrying a patient. The fixture board further has a link for attaching an arm holder to the fixture board. The arm holder is arranged adjacent an elbow of the patient and has an arm support and a belt for attaching the arm to the arm support. In addition, a wrist holder is attached to the arm holder for supporting the wrist. The wrist holder may be sterilized and disposable. An instrument table is connected to said fixture board via a link. The distance between the arm holder and the fixture board may be adjustable.

Abstract: A dehumidifier for air is provided. The dehumidifier includes a housing with an inlet for process air, an outlet for process air, and an opening for regeneration air. The dehumidifier includes a dehumidification element, a fan for bringing process air to flow through at least a first portion of the dehumidification element, and a heating element to heat a part of process air flowing through the dehumidification element for regeneration of the dehumidification element by using the heated process air. A controller controls the amount of air that flows though the outlet for process air and the opening for regeneration air and the sensor/meter to calculate consumed power for the heating element, wherein the heating element is a PTC heater. The controller allows a user in a simple way to adjust the operating parameters to a desired operating mode.

Abstract: An apparatus for dehumidification of air comprises a housing (2) provided with an inlet (3) for process air, an outlet (4) for process air and an opening (17) for regeneration air, a dehumidification element (6), a fan (10) for bringing process air to flow through at least a first portion of the dehumidification element, and a heating element (15) adapted to heat a part of process air flowing through the dehumidification element for regeneration of the dehumidification element by means of the heated process air. By providing control means (4a, 10, 17a, 17b) adapted to control the amount of air that flows though the outlet (4) for process air and the opening (17) for regeneration air and means (6b, 15a; 25) adapted to calculate consumed power for the heating element, wherein the heating element (15) is a PTC heater, a user can in a simple way adjust the operating parameters to a desired operating mode.

Abstract: A fixture for immobilizing an arm of a patient for insertion of a catheter for heart investigation and intervention. The fixture comprises a first portion (41) intended to be arranged at the upper arm (3), a second portion (42, 44, 45) intended to be arranged along the forearm and a third portion (43) intended to be arranged at the wrist with the wrist in an opened and twisted position. The second portion is divided into a first part (44) connected to the first portion (41) at an angle of about 150 degrees and a second part (45) connected to the third portion (43) at an angle of about 210 degrees. The first part (44) and the second part (45) are interconnected by a semi-bracelet (46) or a flexible strap (63). In this way, the first portion may be arranged at the inside of the elbow and the third portion may be arranged at the hand back at the opposite side of the arm. The fixture is attached to the arm via several flexible straps.

Abstract: A stress-reducer is provided for reducing stress on a user from a load of a carried item or object. The stress-reducer is shaped as a yoke and worn over a shoulder of a user and supports the carried item or object. The yoke bridges or spans the shoulder of the user, substantially the upper part of the trapezius muscle and/or the collarbone. The yoke is in contact with either side of the upper part of the user's shoulder on an anterior and/or posterior side. The stress-reducer can be used with strap means. A carried item, equipped with a stress-reducer, a brassiere fitted with a stress-reducer and a garment having a stress-reducer attached thereto are also provided, as well as an arm carrier comprising a stress-reducer, a cradle being attached to an arm and a string being connected between the stress-reducer and the cradle.

Abstract: A sealing device in metal cabinets, which are used to screen off electromagnetic fields, for compressing metallic gaskets along the edges of its door. The device includes an elongate element (3,5,18) the length of which conforms with that of the door (1,2) and which is pivotable about an axis (7) parallel to the pivoting axis of the door. At its pivoting axis (7) the element is provided with a first elongate contact surface (10) which presses against the gasket (12) with a leverage effect when the element is turned to one end position. A second elongate contact surface (8) disposed on the element simultaneously engages against an abutment (9,16) to prevent the door from warping due to the pressure applied against the gasket.

Abstract: An overvoltage protection device for wires, preferably telephone cables, comprises overvoltage arresters (11) of the discharge tube type and connection clamps (7, 8) for the wires, which connection clamps are placed in a terminal block (2). The device is manufactured in such a manner that the overvoltage arresters (11) are enclosed in a detachable cassette (16) and so that the terminal box (2) is pivotal to allow for insertion and removal of the cassette (16). The cassette comprises a number of spaces for the overvoltage arresters (11) and a movable lock (19) to retain and to release the overvoltage arresters (11) respectively.
