Abstract: An embodiment includes a custom-forming peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheter stabilization system that surrounds and conforms to the PIV catheter hub and/or a luer fitting and/or a needleless connector (NC) administration set connection. The embodiment provides a uniquely stable, energy absorbing primary intravenous (IV) stabilization system.

Abstract: The disclosed principles provide for single use caps that may be applied to any of a number of receptacles, containers, vessels, needless connectors, or other device. A single use cap as disclosed herein includes a component that, when the cap is threaded onto a receptacle or device, is moved from an “unused” to a “used” position by the twisting force applied to the cap when secured onto the receptacle or device. Specifically, once the threads of the receptacle or device are received into the cap and a twisting or tightening force is continued to be applied to the cap, the continued twisting force causes this component to rotate laterally so that once the cap is removed from the receptacle or device, the threads of the cap are no longer reachable by the threads on the receptacle or device.

Abstract: A single use cap for connectors and corresponding method of use. The single use cap has a carrier with a body including a base that defines an opening separated from an end wall by a side wall. The opening leads into a cavity sized to receive a connector head. The single use cap also has an elastomeric sleeve releasably coupled to the carrier to span the opening. The elastomeric sleeve is configured to be transferred to the connector upon insertion of the head through the opening and at least partially into the cavity.

Abstract: A sealing device for sealing an opening of an apparatus. The sealing device has a head that defines a cavity and a neck that defines a passage disposed between the cavity at a first end of the neck and an aperture at a second end of the neck. The aperture is configured to collapse and expand, having a first diameter in a collapsed configuration and a second diameter in an expanded configuration. The interior surface of the neck includes an engagement interface that is configured to releasably engage with a spacer. When the engagement interface is engaged with the spacer, the neck is in the expanded configuration.

Abstract: A safety cap for use with a needleless connector. The safety cap includes a body configured to at least partially enclose a head of the needleless connector (NC). The body is configured to achieve a first configuration that can be securely sealed to the NC and a second configuration that cannot be securely sealed to the NC. The second configuration is different from the first configuration. The safety cap also includes a detent in communication with the body which is configured to prevent the body from transitioning from the second configuration back to the first configuration.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for controlling tracheostomy weaning. The apparatus includes a lumen defining a flow path for air. The flow path is configured to communicate fluidically with an airway of a patient. A control valve coupled to the lumen is configured to automatically and selectively occlude the lumen to control a flowrate of the air passing through the lumen in real time based on respiratory data obtained from the patient.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to an apparatus, system, and method of thermal detection during surgical or medical procedures. These procedures can include open-heart surgery with a pump connected to a thermal detection unit and a computing device for sending and receiving signals to control the pump. Detecting thermal changes with a thermal detection unit in an organ or tissue and controlling a pump based on the analysis of the image generated with a thermal imager unit from the detected thermal changes. The thermal detection system has a detection and imaging unit, coupled to a computing device for processing and analysis and utilized as a part of a control system for a perfusion pump.

Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products that include presenting, by electronic device, a user interface on a display of the electronic device. The user interface includes a trace of a first waveform, an element that presents multiple properties of the first waveform or a channel on which the first waveform was acquired, a trace of a second waveform, and a second user interface element that presents multiple properties of the second waveform or a channel on which the second waveform was acquired. The electronic device can receive user input that selects the first user interface element and then selects the second user interface element. The electronic device can apply one or more settings of the trace of the first waveform to the trace of the second waveform.

Abstract: In a racquet, in particular, a tennis racquet, which incorporates a frame, an open or closed heart piece, and a shaft (2) that is joined to the heart piece, with the frame, heart piece and shaft being formed in one piece or connected releasably to each other, the grip (1) that is formed as a one-piece sleeve can be slid onto the shaft. The inside profile of the cross section of the grip (1) and the outside profile of the cross section of the shaft (2) incorporate longitudinal shape-locking and interacting supporting surfaces. The spacing between the supporting surfaces on the shaft (2) and the supporting surfaces of the grip (1) tapers in a wedge shape towards the unattached end (11) of the shaft (2). A removable distance piece (3) that prevents the grip (1) being slid axially into the mated position is releasably connected to the end (11) of the shaft. With the distance piece (3) installed on the shaft, the racquet can be tested with various grips (1).
