Publication number: 20230061039Abstract: A compression device for freeing a ring trapped on a digit includes a rigid outer body. The rigid outer body includes a digit cavity extending from a cavity opening at a body proximal end of the body towards a body distal end of the body, a fluid inlet, and a fluid flow path fluidly connecting the fluid inlet to one or more inflation chambers positioned in the digit cavity. The body proximal end includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and two laterally spaced-apart side portions. At least one side portion is distally recessed as compared to the upper and lower portions to accommodate an interdigital fold. At least one flexible bladder lines the digit cavity, each flexible bladder defining at least one wall of one of the one or more inflation chambers.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Brad MacKeil, Mason Landry, Callum Thompson, Patrick Hennessey, Kevin Spencer, Robert Nicolas Pratt, William Dicke, Michael Brown

Publication number: 20210405012Abstract: A system and process may be used to test water samples to measure ATP and/or estimate a microbial population, for example using an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) based assay. The system includes a device that is use in combination with single-use or disposable cartridges. The cartridge receives the water sample and is pre-loaded with one or more reagents. The device receives the cartridge and contains physical, electronic and/or mechatronic devices that interact with cartridge. One or more actions such as metering, mixing and conveying are performed automatically by elements of the device and/or cartridge. A sensor in the device measures light produced in the cartridge from a reaction with ATP in the water sample. Optionally, the cartridge also contains a pre-loaded amount of ATP, which is used to provide an internal reference or calibration measurement.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2019Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Patrick Andrew WHALEN, Derek Christopher DUNN, William DICKE, Xavier BOULERICE, David MCMULLIN, Michael BROWN
