  • Patent number: 7556270
    Abstract: A transport cart for attaching to a patient care apparatus, such as an infant care apparatus to move that infant care apparatus from one location to another. The transport cart is dockable to the infant care apparatus forming an overall footprint of the combination transport cart/infant care apparatus. The infant care apparatus has wheels to provide mobility thereto and the transport cart has a rear section with wheels and having a handle to push the transport cart and a front section with wheels that docks with the infant care apparatus. There is a flexible coupling between the front and rear sections of the transport cart that allows the transport cart to rock as it passes over an uneven floor surface, such as an incline or a decline to maintain contact with the floor by the wheels of both the front and rear sections to provide stable movement of the combined transport cart and infant care apparatus as it is rolled over that floor.

  • Publication number: 20020188279
    Abstract: A vacuum system for applying vacuum to the body cavity of a patient where a vacuum flow indicator is provided that provides a visual display of the relative flow in a vacuum line to a medical patient. The vacuum indictor has indicia indicative of the no flow condition, a low flow condition, a high flow condition of flow through the vacuum system and has a space between the indicia of high flow and no flow so that the caregiver can visually get a quick and easy perception of the relative flow through the system. The vacuum flow indicator is not intended to be an accurate means of measuring that flow but only a guide that can aid the caregiver in determining and correcting a potential or real problem in the vacuum system.
