Patent number: 11413480Abstract: A personal protection system including a garment configured for attachment to a helmet, wherein the garment defines a barrier between a wearer and an environment. The system includes a control mount integral to the garment and at least partially disposed on the environment side and the wearer side of the barrier. The system may include an emitter and a sensor configured to detect a signal output by the emitter. The control mount may comprise a lens configured to transmit the signal from the emitter through the garment. A control member may be coupled to the control mount and configured to be manipulated by the wearer.

Patent number: 11045590Abstract: A manifold apparatus and method of opening a valve in a medical/surgical waste collection unit. The manifold includes a base at a proximal end with the base defining an opening off center from an axis of the manifold. The manifold further includes two arcuately spaced tabs, each subtending arcs having different arcuate lengths. The manifold is positioned such that the tabs mate with at least two slots of a lock ring of the waste collection unit so as to cause the opening of the manifold to be, upon insertion into a bore of the waste collection unit, in a specific rotational alignment in the bore. The manifold is rotated within the bore to cause a valve disk to move between a first position in which the valve disk blocks fluid flow through the receiver and a second position in which the valve disk allows fluid flow through the receiver.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Sean Murray, David Hershberger, Brent S.

Patent number: 11045171Abstract: A specimen collection cassette for a medical fluid collection system. A housing defines a first void space and a second void space, and an outlet opening in fluid communication with the first and second void spaces. An aperture may be within a wall separating the first and second void spaces with the aperture providing fluid communication between the first and second void spaces. First and second fittings receive a suction line for drawing fluid into the first and second void spaces, respectively. A fluid communication path is established from the first fitting to the outlet opening through the first void space, aperture, and the second void space, and a bypass fluid communication path is established from the second bore to the outlet opening through the second void space. The cassette is operable in one or both of a tissue sample collection mode and a bypass mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Brian VanderWoude, Brian MacLachlan, Stephen Reasoner

Publication number: 20170043064Abstract: A manifold for use with a surgical waste collection unit. The manifold includes a housing dimensioned to seat in a receiver of the waste collection unit with a fitting for receiving a suction tube. The housing has an outlet opening through which a suction is drawn so as to draw waste through the suction line, the fitting and the housing into the waste collection unit. Two tabs extends radially outwardly from the housing. The tabs are dimensioned to engage complementary slots in the receiver so as to facilitate the rotation alignment of the manifold in the receiver. In many versions of the invention, the tabs subtend different arcuate lengths. A filter is disposed in the housing to filter material that, as a consequence of the suction being drawn on the housing, is drawn through the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2016Publication date: February 16, 2017Inventors: Stephen Reasoner, David Hershberger, Brent S.
