Abstract: A ventilator system configured to switch between one or more invasive ventilation modes and one or more non-invasive ventilation modes is provided, the ventilator system comprising: an externally pressurized source of pre-mixed gas comprising air and oxygen; one or more inspiratory valves configured to deliver incoming pre-mixed gas to a patients breathing circuit; and one or more expiratory valves configured to remove outgoing gas from the patients breathing circuit; wherein in the one or more invasive ventilation modes, the inspiratory valves and the expiratory valves are configured to open and close to allow or prevent the passage of gas as needed in order to enforce a respiration cycle within the patient; and wherein in the one or more non-invasive ventilation modes, the inspiratory valves and the expiratory valves are kept open in order to allow the gas to pass freely through the system.

Abstract: A fluid delivery device having a trigger actuated sprayer assembly for dispensing a liquid with features such as a bottle with a concavity, a clip around the bottle neck, a sprayer assembly with a bottle filling conduit and a translucent neck window on the sprayer assembly for viewing the bottle filling conduit. The fluid delivery system includes a bottle with a concavity in the side wall attached to a body. A pump in the body receives fluid from the bottle via a fluid inlet conduit and discharges the fluid from a fluid discharge conduit. Also provided is a kit including (i) a fluid delivery device with a bottle, and (ii) one or more fluid refill containers, wherein the bottle and the container(s) include matching indicia of the fluid such that the bottle is only filled from a container with the fluid indicated by the matching indicia.

Abstract: User-selectable volumes of a viscous condiment such as ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise are consistently dispensed from a pressurized vessel. The vessel is pressurized using a small air pump, a cylinder of compressed gas or an external gas source. Pressure in the vessel is kept constant by sensing the pressure using a MEMS pressure transducer. Condiment flows from the pressurized vessel into a flexible tube, which passes through an electrically-actuated pinch valve. For a given pressure in the vessel, the amount of condiment to be dispensed is determined by the time that the pinch valve is open. A processor monitors the pressure, actuation of a user interface and controls operation of the air pump.

Abstract: An oral airway and intubation assisting device that protects a patient's teeth and includes a wedge adapted to redirect force from the patient's incisor teeth to the patient's maxilla, a block adapted to hold the patient's mouth open, and an airway guide adapted to prevent the tongue from closing the throat and maintain a clear passage for air. Additionally, the device may include a tube retainer adapted to secure the intubation tube against movement.

Abstract: A system for labeling a patient specimen tube with identification information that includes a labeling device. The labeling device includes scanning and printing units electronically connected to a microcomputer. The scanning unit is configured to electronically read machine readable information provided on a patient identification article carried by the patient. The printing unit includes a print head. The microcomputer is programmed to receive information obtained by the scanning unit, interface with a database to correlate the received information with patient label information, format the patient label information, and prompt the printing unit to print the patient label information onto the specimen tube. In some embodiments, the database is maintained by a network server, with the labeling device electronically interfacing with the network server.
