Leak location devices and methods of using leak location devices that can be used in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, a leak location device can include a microphone for detecting sound pressure produced by a leak. Detected sound pressure can be compared to a threshold, which can correspond to background or ambient sound pressure. Background or ambient sound pressure can correspond to sound produced by a negative pressure source. The leak detection device can include a display configured to visually depict the detected sound, and a light source which creates a visual depiction of the coverage angle of the microphone.

Apparatuses and methods for detecting leaks in a negative pressure wound therapy system

A robotic surgical instrument comprising: a shaft; driving elements running through the shaft; an articulation at a distal end of the shaft for articulating an end effector, the articulation driveable by the driving elements; and an instrument interface at a proximal end of the shaft for driving the driving elements, the instrument interface comprising: a monocoque chassis; and a routing pulley component housed by the monocoque chassis and separable from the monocoque chassis; wherein the instrument interface is configured to be assembled by: routing the driving elements from the shaft around pulleys of the routing pulley component; securing the driving elements to the monocoque chassis; and after the routing and securing steps, placing the routing pulley component into the monocoque chassis.

Robotic surgical instrument chassis

A specimen processing system includes a plate for supporting a specimen system, wherein the specimen system includes a container and a specimen contained therein. The specimen processing system further includes a camera disposed above the plate and configured to generate images of the specimen system, a light source disposed beneath the plate for radiating light towards the plate, a light stop for blocking a portion of the light from reaching the specimen system to produce darkfield illumination of the specimen at the camera, and one or more processors electronically coupled to the camera and configured to track a position of the specimen within the specimen container during a specimen processing protocol based on the images.

Specimen processing systems and related methods

A medical device for infusing medical substances has activation buttons accessible on an exterior of a device housing. The activation buttons and corresponding electrical switches within the device housing are configured to prevent inadvertent activation of the activation buttons and therefore inadvertent operation of the corresponding electrical switches to initiate a process such as the infusion of medical substance(s) to a user. The medical device employs overlap of respective time traces initiated by activation of the activation buttons to determine whether the activation is intended and valid. These respective time traces do not have to be initiated simultaneously or in any particular sequence. The activation buttons can be elastomeric overmolded buttons set within cutouts in the device housing, and, when depressed, make physical contact with the corresponding electrical switches.

Activation system and method for on-body medical devices

A rotary pump for a fluid metering system is provided. The rotary pump reciprocates, and is reversed by a signal from a limit switch that is deflected by an actuator arm on a rotating sleeve of the pump system.

Rotational metering pump for medication patch

Disclosed herein are several embodiments of a negative pressure appliance and methods of using the same in the treatment of wounds. Some embodiments are directed to improved fluidic connectors or suction adapters for connecting to a wound site, for example using softer, kink-free conformable suction adapters.

Apparatuses and methods for negative pressure wound therapy

A light curing impression system comprising a light emitting tray that precisely distributes an optimal amount of curing light energy to internal, external and extra oral portions of the dental arch to cure impression material. The light curing impression system generally includes an LED light source, a light emitting impression tray, an activation module and impression material.

Light curing dental system

An infusion system having an integrated inserter and infusion set () for containing and placing a flexible catheter (), and a retractable introducer needle (), wherein the catheter () is isolated from movement after placement. The integrated inserter and infusion set () includes a hub (), having a user push button () to activate the device for catheter () placement. An adhesive liner () can be provided to cover an adhesive layer (), such as pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), on the bottom of the device ().

Subcutaneous infusion device

Rotational metering pump for insulin patch

A light curing dental system comprising a light emitting tray that precisely distributes an optimal amount of curing light energy to internal, external and extra oral portions of the dental arch to cure a dental material. The light curing dental system generally includes a light source, a light emitting dental tray, an activation module and a photocurable dental material.

A micropump according to the invention uses axially oriented pistons to define a pump volume. Translating the pistons axially with respect to each other within a pump housing draws a metered amount of fluid into the pump volume from a reservoir port for delivery to a cannula port when the space is collapsed. Radially situated seals on the pistons cooperate with the axial movement to close off and open the cannula port and the reservoir port respectively at different positions of the piston stroke.

Split piston metering pump

A medical device for infusing medical substances has activation buttons accessible on an exterior of a device housing. The activation buttons and corresponding electrical switches within the housing are configured to prevent inadvertent activation of the buttons and therefore inadvertent operation of the switches to initiate a process such as medical substance delivery to a user. The device employs overlap of respective time traces initiated by activation of the activation buttons to determine whether the activation is intended and valid. The respective time traces do not have to be initiated simultaneously or in any particular sequence. The activation buttons can be elastomeric overmolded buttons set within cutouts in the housing, and, when depressed, make physical contact with respective switches.

A rotary pump for a fluid metering system is provided. The rotary pump reciprocates, and is reversed by a signal from a limit switch that is deflected by an actuator arm on a rotating sleeve of the pump system. The rotary pump includes a plunger and optional stopper formed from a two-shot molding process, and including seals overmolded onto the head of the plunger and the head of the optional stopper.
