A surgical access device, such as a trocar, for use in providing access to a patient in a surgical setting is disclosed. The surgical access device includes an irradiation component to inactivate and sterilize gas that accidentally escapes a pneumoperitoneum, or ambient gas from outside the patient that may become entrained into the pneumoperitoneum. The surgical access device may include a central lumen that is gasketless or implements a gasket. The irradiation source may include an ultraviolet radiation source on or in the body of the surgical access device, and may be part of a discrete, removable attachment to a main part of the surgical access device body.

Anti-microbial surgical access device

A computer tablet storage system. The system may have one or many main docks and one or many tablet holders. A computer tablet is retained within each tablet holder, and the tablet holder is insertable into and removable from an associated main dock. While inside the main dock, the computer tablet is protected against damage and unauthorized use. The main dock includes a door aperture and a tablet tray assembly movable toward and away from the bay door aperture and within the dock housing. The tablet holder (with tablet therein) is releasably engageable with the tray assembly. In the system, the tablet tray assembly is movable between a forward position in which a tablet is extended through the bay door for use, and a tray back position in which the tablet is retracted completely within the dock housing interior. A master control may regulate operation of the system.

Electronic tablet storage and management apparatus and system

A modular door access control system incorporates a plurality of wireless door modules. Access request signals are transmitted to a remote access control unit. The control unit transmits access authorizing control signals to a respective one of the modules. A newly installed module, in a selected mode, enters into communication with the unit. The unit in turn transmits an identifier to the module for use in identifying itself to the unit subsequently in response to a received access request.
