  • Full level indicator for medical disposables container
    Patent number: 5918739
    Abstract: A sharps disposal container comprising a container including a cover having an opening formed therein for receiving sharps. An emitter and detector are mounted on the container with the emitter being oriented for projecting a beam toward the container. Reflectors are positioned in the container for receiving the beam from the emitter, projecting the beam across the container and from side to side at a predetermined level and for projecting the beam to the detector. An indicator or alarm is connected to the detector for providing an indication when the level of sharps in the container is sufficient to interrupt the beam. The indicator may include a counter for counting the number of sharps placed in the container.

  • Esophageal recording/pacing catheter with thermistor and cardiac imaging transceiver
    Patent number: 5343860
    Abstract: A single use disposable esophageal electrode structure is formed with a planar sheet body member. The body member carries a plurality of spaced-apart conductive electrode members. A temperature sensor can also be carried on the body member. A layer of adhesive on the body member can be used to affix it to an esophageal probe. A plurality of conducting members is coupled to the body member. Each of the conducting members is in turn coupled to a respective one of the electrodes. A free end of the conducting members carries an electrical connector for connection to other electrical units.
