Abstract: In one aspect, the invention is directed to a connector for connecting a medical device to a support member on a patient support device, such as a stretcher. The connector includes a support member connector that is fixedly connectable to the support member and a device connector for fixedly connecting to the medical device. The device connector is movable relative to the support member connector between a first position wherein the device connector is positioned to hold the medical device adjacent the patient support device and a second position that is inboard of the first position relative to the patient support device.

Abstract: A connector system for connecting a medical device to a patient support device having first and second support members with a patient support panel disposed therebetween, wherein the connector system includes an anti-rotation arm connectably linked between the medical device and a support member connector connectable to the second support member. The anti-rotation arm is connected to the medical device in a manner that rotationally fixes the anti-rotation arm with the medical device with respect to rotation about the first support member for fixed rotational displacement with the medical device. In use, the anti-rotation arm rotationally fixes the medical device about the first support member.

Abstract: A novel method for cleaning dental and medical instruments is disclosed, in which a cleaning solution including a low-residue corrosion inhibitor is used not only in a wash stage of the cleaning cycle, but also in at least one subsequent rinse cycle, to optimize both cleaning and rust prevention. A novel cleaning solution particularly suited to this method has a neutral to alkaline pH and comprises in aqueous solution a low-foaming surfactant and a corrosion inhibitor selected from the group of C4-C16 alkyl pyrrolidones and C1-C18 alkylamines.
