Abstract: An electrical connection system that can feed power, signal, data, and communication lines into a rotating patient support system in a infant warming device.

Abstract: A shock and vibration system for an infant care transport system with an enclosed infant care device. The shock and vibration system utilizes multiple damping systems that create a floating patient support system that allows the infant care device to move in the various axes of motion instead of being rigidly mounted to the frame or sub-frame, or any substructure.

Abstract: In an infant warming device, an isolation mounting system supports the weight of an integrated touch screen assembly during transport and during transport, but does not apply any forces normal to the plane of the display that would weaken the adhesive bonds between the touch screen cover glass and the touch screen, and the touch screen and the display, which could cause separation of the integrated touch screen.

Abstract: An integrated and movable video and/or still camera is integrated into a warming therapy device to allow caregivers to point the camera in an area of interest in which they are interested in recording or displaying the patient located on a support surface. The system may include an audio recording device.

Abstract: An electrical connection system that can feed power, signal, data, and communication lines into a rotating or static patient support system in an infant warming device.

Abstract: An alarm sensing and backup system for patient devices that senses when the normal alarm sensing system is not sounding properly and sounds an independent backup alarm.

Abstract: A bi-directional remote communications system with both display and control capability allowing 2 way communications between one or more remote devices and one or more infant warming devices. The system could update the remote device with all current display parameters and information from the infant warming device and will also allow changes made on the handheld device to update the infant warming device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing warming therapy is described. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes a base for supporting a medical patient and a humidifier module removably coupled to the base. The humidifier module may include a main reservoir and an evaporator reservoir separated by a channel. Both the main and evaporator reservoirs may be protected by a cover, which may be made removable. The design of the humidifier module is such that the component parts thereof may be easily removed, so that the reservoir body including the main reservoir and the evaporator reservoir may be easily cleaned, such as through use of an autoclave.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing warming therapy is described. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes a warming platform, a heating source, a controller, and a plurality sensors. The heating source comprises a plurality of heating elements forming a matrix, wherein each heating element is operable to heat a corresponding region of the warming platform. The controller is operatively coupled to the heating source for controlling the temperature in each region of the warming platform. The plurality of sensors are operatively coupled to the controller for sensing a physiological parameter of a patient (e.g., body temperature) residing on the warming platform, and providing one or more control signals to the controller for selectively controlling the heating elements.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing warming therapy is described. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes a patient support assembly and at least one heating element coupled to the patient support assembly, formed of a plurality of heating cells. In another exemplary embodiment, the heating element is formed of a plurality of separate heating segments which may be Individually controlled. In yet another exemplary embodiment, the heating element is coupled to at least one oxygen sensor and a control system for controlling the power applied to the heating element based on the oxygen level measured by the oxygen sensor. The heating element may be made of materials which are X-ray transparent, so that a patient disposed on a heated mattress will not need to be moved from the mattress to have effective X-ray diagnostics performed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing warming therapy is described. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes a base (12) for supporting a medical patient and a humidifier module (26) removably coupled to the base (12). The humidifier module (26) may include a main reservoir (50) and an evaporator reservoir (52) separated by a channel (70). Both the main and evaporator reservoirs (50, 52) may be protected by a cover (58), which may be made removable. The design of the humidifier module (26) is such that the component parts thereof may be easily removed, so that the reservoir body (48) including the main reservoir (50) and the evaporator reservoir (52) may be easily cleaned, such as through use of an autoclave.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing warming therapy is described. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes a patient support assembly and a pump assembly coupled to the patient support assembly, for providing heated air to a patient. The pump assembly may include one or more heating elements coupled to the sidewalk thereof for providing heating of air flowing through the pump assembly.
