A closed system for harvesting fat through liposuction, concentrating the aspirate so obtained, and then re-injecting the concentrated fat into a patient comprises as its main components a low pressure cannula having between about 7 to 12 side holes of about 1-2 mm by 2.0 to 4.0 mm, a spring loaded syringe holder with a constant force or coiled ribbon spring to apply a substantially constant pressure over the fill excursion of the plunger, and a preferably flexible collection bag which is also preferably graduated, cylindrical over most of its body and funnel shaped at its bottom, all of which are connected through flexible tubings to a multi-port valve. The multi-port valve has two flutter/duck bill valves which restrict the fluid flow to a one way direction which effectively allows the syringe to be used to pump fat out of a patient and into a collection bag in a continuous manner. After the bags are centrifuged to concentrate the fat, the excess fluids are separated and the valve is re-connected to permit the syringe pump to reverse fluid flow to graft the concentrated fat back into the patient.

An interchangeable bottletop aerator for controllably mixing air with a liquid contained in a bottle. The apparatus includes a receptacle and an interchangeable aerator module that is inserted into the receptacle. The receptacle engages and seals the bottle through a multi lumen cylinder that extends inside the narrow neck of the bottle. It has internal structures to adjust flow characteristics of the liquid and encapsulates the module. The module has multiple channels and sections to apply predetermined aeration and flow speed to the contained liquid. The inserted module can be replaced on demand with a different module to change the aeration parameters and adapt the aeration characteristics to various liquids. The interchangeable bottletop aerator presents a solution to the changing aeration requirements of different liquids like wine in a compact, easy to use, and easy to produce package by means of simply replacing and employing different modules inside the receptacle.

An apparatus and method for collecting and processing information relating to a patient's compliance with a recommended treatment protocol is provided. A portable medical device is adapted to be worn by a patient. The medical device has a control for automatically collecting and processing information relating to the patient's compliance with a recommended treatment protocol. A separate communications cradle is provided that is configured to connect to the control of the medical device. The cradle has a communications link to transmit the patient compliance information to a host.
