  • Patent number: 12285298
    Abstract: A machine accesses a first image captured prior to initiation of a procedure, where the first image depicts a set of instruments, as well as a second image captured after initiation of the procedure, where the second image depicts a proper subset of the set of instruments depicted in the first image. From the first and second images, the machine may determine that an instrument among the set of instruments depicted in the first image is not depicted among the proper subset of the set of instruments in the second image, and then cause presentation of a notification that indicates the instrument not depicted in the second image is missing. Alternatively, or additionally, the machine may determine whether an instrument among the set of instruments was used in the procedure, and then cause presentation of a notification that indicates whether the instrument was used in the procedure.

  • Publication number: 20250127440
    Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing a flow of fluids suctioned from a patient. The flow of fluids may be divided according to a flow division ratio. An image of a first portion of the fluids may be evaluated to determine an estimated blood component quantity as a representative fraction of the flow of fluids. An intermittent estimate of blood loss may be determined based on the flow division ratio and the estimated blood component quantity, and a total estimate of blood loss updated based on the intermittent estimate. The representative fraction is projected or extended to be an estimated blood component quantity of the second portion of the fluids that bypasses the receptacle. The images may be continuously captured with a camera, and a fluid level of the fluids with a receptable may be continuously monitored. The total estimate of blood loss may be displayed in real-time on a display.

  • Patent number: 12268477
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for estimating fluid loss. A graphical representation of a container is displayed. User inputs to display elements may include incrementing or decrementing sliding markers to desired set positions. A first user input may indicate a volume of a second fluid, and a second user input may indicate a total volume of fluid. A first volume of a first fluid may be estimated based on the first and second user inputs. A graphical representation of the first volume of the first fluid may be displayed as a fluid level within the graphical representation of the container. A second volume of the first fluid contained in an absorbent article may be estimated based on a difference between a dry weight and a wet weight measured on a scale. A quantity of the first fluid may be estimated based on the first and second volumes.

  • Patent number: 12209899
    Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating a blood volume within a canister. The system may include means for detecting a fluid level of the fluid, such as a float sensor mechanism disposed within the canister. An imaging device captures an image of the fluid within the canister. A processor determines an estimated concentration of a blood component in the fluid based on the image. The processor determines a canister volume of the fluid based on the detected fluid level, and estimates the blood volume within the canister based on the estimated concentration of the blood component and the determined canister volume. The processor may trigger the imaging device to capture the image based on a change in the canister volume. An insert may be arranged within the canister and positioned adjacent to and offset from a transparent region of the canister.

  • Publication number: 20250013843
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing an image of a machine-readable code. The method includes accessing an image of a machine-readable code comprising coded information, wherein the machine-readable code is at least partially obscured, occluded, false, or blurry. The image is refined by a trained neural network to render the machine-readable code locatable. An adjusted image may be generated in which the orientation of the machine-readable code is refined. The coded information is decoded, and fluid-related information may be displayed based on the decoded information. The decoded information may be unique to the item to which the machine-readable code is affixed. Other apparatus and methods are also described.

  • Publication number: 20240273729
    Abstract: Methods for characterizing fluids from a patient. A time series of images of a conduit are received, and a conduit image region in the images is identified. The conduit image region may include a shallow section and/or a deep section. The shallow section includes a dimension of the conduit along an optical axis of the camera such that opacity of the fluids from redness associated with red blood cells or hemoglobin is limited to permit pixel color visualization in the images. The deep section includes a dimension is along the optical axis such that the redness provides a minimum opacity to permit the pixel color visualization. A concentration of a blood component of the fluids is determined based on the pixel color visualization. A volume of blood passing through the conduit is estimated based on the estimated concentration of the blood component and an estimated volumetric flow rate.

  • Patent number: 12002211
    Abstract: Methods for characterizing fluids from a patient. A time series of images of a conduit are received, and a conduit image region in the images is identified. A flow type of the fluids passing through the conduit may be classified as one of air, laminar liquid, and turbulent liquid by evaluating an air-liquid boundary of the fluid. A volumetric flow rate of the fluids in the conduit is estimated. The volumetric flow rate may be based on the classified flow type. A concentration of a blood component of the fluids passing through the conduit may be estimated based on the images. A proportion of the fluid that is blood may also be determined, and a volume of blood that has passed through the conduit within a predetermined period of time may be estimated based on the estimated total volumetric flow rate and the determined proportion.

  • Publication number: 20240054642
    Abstract: A method of estimating blood loss of patient fluid within a fluid canister. A camera may automatically capture one or more images of the fluid canister based on a detected change in volume of patient fluid within the fluid canister exceeding a threshold. The image is analyzed determine the volume of the patient fluid, and a blood concentration of the patient fluid within the fluid canister. The blood loss is estimated based on the volume and the blood concentration, and displayed on a display. A pixel-based height of the patient fluid within the fluid canister may be calculated based on the surface of the patient fluid. The pixel-based height may be converted to the estimated fluid volume. The image may be a frame of a multi-frame video feed. The image(s) of the multi-frame video feed may be analyzed as the patient fluid is being drawn into the fluid canister.

  • Publication number: 20230419641
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a surgical textile. A depth image and a color image of the surgical textile is acquired. One or more processors analyze a depth map of the depth image to apply one or more image classifiers. Blood information is extracted from pixels of the color image if the depth image satisfies the classifier(s). The classifier(s) may be a perimeter classifier, a planarity classifier, a normality classifier, a distance classifier, and/or a color classifier, among others. The distance classifier may include transforming pixel dimensions of a selected surface in the depth image into real dimensions based on distance values of the pixels. A graphical representation may be displayed to indicate the need to move the surgical textile closer or farther to satisfy the distance classifier. A prompt may be displayed to manipulate the surgical textile prior to the steps of acquiring the depth image and the color image.
