A Luer-like non-standard quick disconnect medical fluid connector that cannot be engaged with a standard Luer fitting.

System and method for effecting non-standard fluid line connections

An externally-applied heat exchange pad has three layers laminated together, an inner and outer non-conductive layer and a middle conductive layer. A leak in the inner layer causes coolant to contact the middle layer and change impedance, which can be sensed and used as an indication of an impending total leak of the pad.

System and method for leak detection in external cooling pad

A heat exchange system for an indwelling catheter is tested for proper operation by observing whether a fluid temperature is within a command zone range and if not whether temperature moves toward the range or equalizes with it within predetermined parameters after a pump has stopped, and only if temperature exhibits none of the tested-for conditions indicating an error.

A low-profile, durable mounting clip for holding personal devices. The mounting clip may have an essentially inverted 'L' shaped configuration including a foot portion having engagement elements for attachment to corresponding engagement elements on a housing of a personal device. A leg portion provides for attachment to an undergarment or other suitable article of clothing. A heel portion located between and connecting the leg portion and foot portion allows the foot portion to flexibly and durably retract from the housing. The mounting clip may include a snap tab beam locking mechanism having a barb for interlocking with a bump provided on the housing or a rotatable cam locking mechanism having one or more radial snap tabs having engagement elements for engaging corresponding surfaces on the mounting clip. The mounting clip may have an essentially inverted 'C-shaped' configuration including a first foot, a second foot, and a leg portion.
