  • Patent number: 7077814
    Abstract: A resuscitation device for automatic compression of victim's chest using a compression belt which exerts force evenly over the entire thoracic cavity. The belt is constricted and relaxed through a motorized spool assembly which repeatedly tightens the belt and relaxes the belt to provide repeated and rapid chest compression. An assembly includes various resuscitation devices including chest compression devices, defibrillation devices, and airway management devices, along with communications devices and senses with initiate communications with emergency medical personnel automatically upon use of the device.

  • Publication number: 20040162589
    Abstract: A system for resuscitation of a heart attack victim. The system includes CPR device which compresses the victim's chest, a defibrillator which may be used to defibrillate the patient, and an identification system for identifying the person operating the system. Depending on the identity of the operator, the system permits varying degrees of access to components and enablement of the functions of the various subsystems.

  • Patent number: 5373972
    Abstract: A fluid dispensing system for delivering sterile preservative-free solution is disclosed. The system uses double self-sealing valves mounted in series inside a tip compartment which fits on the outlet of a multiple dosage squeeze container to prevent undesirable retrograde flow of the dispensed liquid back into the bottle during the decompression cycle. The valves used are either positive acting, normally closed duckbill and/or umbrella valve(s) which open to express solution from the container when squeezing pressure is applied to the bottle and which automatically close when the pressure is released. The fluid dispensing system with an umbrella valve near the system outlet has close to zero dead space volume thereby practically eliminated possible contamination of the sterile fluid under the circumferential seal head portion of the umbrella valve and in the container. A hydrophobic filter is provided to sterilize the replacement air which enters the container upon release of the squeezing pressure.
