An accessory for a portable electronic device which includes a housing having a base portion configured for attachment to a portable electronic device. The accessory further includes a grip socket retention channel at least partially defined by the housing, and the grip socket retention channel is configured to receive and removably retain a base of a grip socket.

Cardholder accessory for portable electronic device

A sleeved filter apparatus prevents germs from becoming resident on both the interior and exterior of a breathing device. The sleeved filter apparatus includes a filter member and a sleeve member. The filter member is composed of a first and second enclosure half which are sealed on their interior ends. The external ends of the two enclosure halves have connectors for connecting the sleeved filter apparatus to a breathing device and/or a patient airway component. A filter element is disposed inside the filter member enclosure for preventing gases from flowing between the first connector and the second connector of the filter member without passing through the filter element. This filter member prevents germs from passing between the patient and the interior of the breathing device. The sleeve member is made of a flexible material, and has a first open end, a second open end, and a middle portion extending between the first open end and the second open end. The first open end of the sleeve member is sealingly engaged to the filter member. The sleeve member has a diameter sized to surround the breathing circuit, and a length sufficient to extend along most or all of the entire length of the breathing circuit. The sleeve member prevents germs and bacteria from passing between the patient and the exterior of the breathing device. The sleeved filter apparatus is removable between procedures to permit reuse of the breathing circuit without substantial cross-contamination between patients.

Sleeved filter for a breathing circuit

A breathing circuit is provided for conveying an inspiratory gas from a gas dispensing apparatus to a patient, and for conveying an expiratory gas from the patient. The circuit includes a corrugated expiratory tube having a first end and a second end. The expiratory tube has a relaxed length. A corrugated inspiratory tube is provided which is disposed generally colinearly and interiorly of the expiratory tube. The inspiratory tube has a first end disposed adjacent to the first end of the expiratory tube, a second end disposed adjacent to the second end of the expiratory tube, and a relaxed length greater than the relaxed length of the expiratory tube such that the inspiratory tube normally exerts a longitudinally directed pressure on the circuit. A first end coupling member is fixedly coupled to both the inspiratory tube and the expiratory tube. The first end coupling member is generally transparent and hollow, and has an interior and an exterior. The first end coupling member is generally more rigid than the expiratory tube. A second end coupling member is fixedly attachable to the second end of the expiratory tube. The second end coupling member includes a positioning member receiving portion. A positioning member for positioning the second end of the inspiratory tube relative to the positioning end receiving portion of the second end coupling member is also provided.
