One aspect of the present disclosure can include a system for dispensing purified and sterilized fluid and/or solution. The delivery system can include a fluid reservoir, a sterilization and/or purification mechanism, a solution production mechanism, a dispensing mechanism, and a controller. The system can dispense the purified and sterilized fluid and/or solution on-demand.

Sterile and/or purified fluid and/or solution delivery system

A sensing device can be used for ambulatory urodynamics. The sensing device can include an elongated outer housing constructed of flexible material that can curve within a patient's bladder. At least a portion of the outer housing can be filled with a non-compressible fluid. A flexible printed circuit board can be disposed within the outer housing to curve with the outer housing. The printed circuit board can include a pressure sensor, comprising a diaphragm, to collect pressure data; a microcontroller running control software; and a wireless transmitter to transmit the pressure data. A battery can be disposed within the outer housing and coupled to the printed circuit board. The flexible material of the outer housing is configured to be displaced by a pressure within the patient's bladder, the displacement is transmitted through the non-compressible fluid to the pressure sensor that provides the pressure data based on the displacement.

A multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier) for use in a sterile fluid delivery system. The carrier includes a rotary housing () adapted for connection to the sterile fluid delivery system. The rotary housing has one or more bores () configured to receive a solute cartridge. The rotary housing, when connected to the sterile fluid delivery system, is selectively rotatable to facilitate creation of a desired sterile solution when sterile water from the fluid delivery system is flowed through the solute cartridge.

Multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier

A system for on-demand delivery of a sterile fluid includes a housing. At least one fluid reservoir is associated with the housing and configured to hold a fluid. A sterilization and/or purification mechanism is in fluid communication with the at least one fluid reservoir. The sterilization and/or purification mechanism is configured to sterilize the fluid. A dispensing mechanism is in fluid communication with the sterilization mechanism and configured to dispense the sterile fluid. A controller is associated with one or more of the housing, the at least one fluid reservoir, the sterilization and/or purification mechanism, and the dispensing mechanism. The controller being configured to modulate at least one operating characteristic of the system. The system is configured to deliver the sterile and/or purified fluid immediately after a request is made.

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a reversible airway device. The reversible airway device () can include: a supra-glottic airway support () comprising a multi-lumen tubular guide () and an optional sealing member (); an endotracheal tube (); and at least one seal (). The multi-lumen tubular guide has a distal end portion (), a proximal end portion (), a first passageway () extending between the distal and proximal end portions, and a second passageway () that is non-concentric with the first passageway and also extends between the distal and proximal end portions. The at least one seal is disposed within the first passageway, the second passageway, or both, so as to occlude the flow of a gas through the first passageway and/or the second passageway. The endotracheal tube can be inserted into the first or second passageway and can traverse the seal.

Reversible airway device and related method for ventilating a subject

A reversible airway device can include a tubular guide, a laryngeal mask, and an endotracheal tube. The tubular guide can have a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and a first passageway extending between the distal and proximal end portions. The tubular guide can further include a first longitudinal seam. The laryngeal mask can be attached to the distal end portion of the tubular guide. The laryngeal mask can include an opening in fluid communication with the first passageway. The laryngeal mask can further include a second longitudinal seam. The endotracheal tube can be slidably disposed within the first passageway and have a second passageway. The first and second longitudinal seams can be adapted to permit ingress and egress of the tubular guide from the airway without detaching the endotracheal tube from a ventilation source.

Although injection molding includes extreme conditions, an RFID device may be over-molded by injection molding. A syringe includes a barrel having a first and second axial ends, the barrel defining a cavity therein; a plunger configured to be received in the cavity and define with the barrel a chamber for holding a fluid, the plunger being axially moveable within the barrel for increasing and decreasing the volume of the chamber thereby respectively forcing fluid into or out of the chamber; and a plunger seal, also known as a 'syringe stopper' for sealing between the plunger and the barrel, the plunger seal including an RFID device for identifying the syringe. The plunger seal may be made by injection molding.
