An example method includes receiving, within a graphical user interface (GUI) of a medical fluid injection system, a selection of a particular user, providing, within the GUI, a display of a plurality of selectable options, each option including at least a respective graphical symbol, wherein each respective graphical symbol comprises a respective non-textual icon that is a graphical representation of a respective anatomical location associated with the medical procedure, each respective anatomical location comprising one of a left coronary artery, a right coronary artery, or a left ventricle and aorta, retrieving one or more customized injection parameters that have respective values customized for the particular user based on one or more preferences of the particular user, and displaying, within the GUI, the one or more customized injection parameters.

Customizable medical fluid injection system and method

Seat inserts and methods of manufacture are described. An example seat insert includes a fastener to removably couple the seat insert to a bassinet or playard. The example seat include also includes a first base panel having a first length, a first end and a second end and a second base panel having a second length, a first end and a second end. The second end of the first base panel is coupled to the first end of the second base panel. In addition, the first length is longer than the second length so that the first base panel is positioned at a first incline and the second base panel is positioned at a second incline different than the first incline to cause a child occupant to assume a semi-upright position.

Child seat inserts and methods of manufacture

A disposable fluid connector includes a first single-use tubing component having proximal and distal ends and a second single-use tubing component having proximal and distal ends, where the first single-use tubing component and the second single-use tubing component are each usable only for a single patient procedure. The disposable fluid connector also includes a connection comprising an electrical connector that is configured to electrically connect the connection to both a powered injector and to an external medical device, where the disposable fluid connector comprises a disposable cassette including a portion that is non-removably attached to both the first single-use tubing component and the second single-use tubing component.

One embodiment provides a method of using contextual lighting to assist a user of a medical fluid injection system. In this embodiment, the method includes providing a lighted display in proximity to a component of the injection system during setup of the medical fluid injection system. If the user has properly performed a setup function that is associated with the component of the injection system, the method further comprises providing a first visual indication on the lighted display. If the user has not properly performed the setup function that is associated with the component of the injection system, the method further comprises providing a second visual indication on the lighted display.

Bassinet assemblies and related methods are disclosed. An example bassinet assembly includes an upper frame, a first support arm and a second support arm coupled to the upper frame and a floorboard coupled or adjacent to the first support arm and the second support arm. The example bassinet assembly also includes a support liner coupled between the floorboard and the upper frame and a cover disposed over at least a portion of each of the upper frame, the support liner and the floorboard.

Bassinets and related methods

A convertible support apparatus and related methods are disclosed. An example convertible support apparatus for supporting a seat in a first mode and a second mode includes a substantially flexible section to support the seat in a first mode, and a substantially rigid bypass. The substantially rigid bypass is positioned to selectively deactivate the substantially flexible section when the convertible support is in the second mode.

Child swing and jumper apparatus and methods of operating the same

Seat inserts and methods of manufacturing seat inserts are disclosed. An example seat insert includes a frame. A first base panel is coupled to the frame, and a second base panel is coupled to the frame. The second base panel is joined to the first base panel. The first base panel is positioned at a first incline and the second base panel is positioned at a second incline to provide an inclined support for a child. A relative length of at least one of the first base panel or the second base panel is adjustable to adjust angles of inclination of the first base panel and the second base panel.

Child entertainment apparatus and methods of operating the same are disclosed. An example method of operating a child entertainment apparatus includes suspending a seat from a frame and driving the seat for swinging movement by reciprocating an arm slidably coupled to the seat where the seat is free to slide along the arm when the seat swings.

A child entertainment apparatus is convertible between a swing mode and a jumper mode. An example apparatus includes a frame, and a seat. The seat is coupled to the frame by a substantially rigid support when the apparatus is in the swing mode, and the seat is coupled to the frame through a substantially flexible support when the apparatus is in the jumper mode.

Foldable and portable playard assemblies with a storage compartment and methods of use thereof are disclosed. An example playard includes a lower frame having a collapsed position and an erected position, an upper frame having a collapsed position and an erected position and a plurality of corner posts coupling the lower frame and the upper frame. The example playard also includes an upper extension member coupled to and extending from the upper frame and a lower extension member coupled to extending from the lower frame. The upper extension member, the lower extension and two of the plurality of corner posts form a storage compartment frame. In addition, the storage compartment frame remains in an extended position when the lower frame is in the collapsed position and the upper frame is in the collapsed position.

Foldable and portable playard assemblies with a storage compartment and methods of use thereof

Child entertainment apparatus and methods of operating the same are disclosed. An example child entertainment apparatus includes a frame and a support suspended for swinging movement relative to the frame. The support is elastically elongatable. A child seat is carried by the support and thus is able to swing and bounce relative to the frame. A drive arm extends between the frame and the seat and includes a first end journalled for rotation relative to one of the frame or the seat and a second end slidably coupled to the other of the frame or the seat.

A child entertainment apparatus is convertible between a swing mode and a jumper mode. The apparatus includes a frame, and a support convertible between a swinging configuration and a bouncing configuration. In the jumper mode, the support suspends the seat from the frame by a substantially flexible section, and in the swing mode, the support suspends the seat from the frame by a substantially rigid section. A bypass section is movable between an engaged position wherein the bypass section provides a substantially rigid connection between the frame and the seat, and a disengaged position wherein the substantially flexible section of the first support provides a flexible connection between the frame and the seat. The seat may be convertible between a feet forward position for the swing mode and a feet down position for the jumper mode.
