A method of forming an oral device to measure biological variables includes providing a mold configured to impart a contour of an oral retainer sized to extend about a plurality of teeth. The method includes removing the first layer of the retainer from the mold. The method includes attaching at least one sensor to the retainer, the sensor having a profile and defining a boundary edge. The method includes trimming to form a lip of the first layer of material extending beyond the boundary edge of the at least one sensor component. The method includes attaching the first layer of the retainer and at least one sensor component to the mold, forming a second layer of the retainer with the mold, wherein the first layer of retainer retains the mold contour, and wherein the at least one sensor component is disposed between the first and second layer.

Systems for measuring patient physiologic parameters

A medical appliance for the treatment of one or more sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea in a patient, the appliance comprising: a biasing member for inserting behind and exerting a force upon the patient's soft palate or tongue, wherein the biasing member is inserted in a reduced or minimized form and then expanded or firms once in place to exert the force. The appliance may be nasally inserted or be placed through the mouth. In a particular configuration, both the soft palate and tongue are biased to prevent obstruction of the flow of air in the nasopharyngeal airway.

Devices, systems and methods for the treatment of sleep apnea

A medical apparatus for the treatment of one or more sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea in a patient is provided. The apparatus has an elongate member with a middle portion, a first fixation element and a second fixation element. The middle portion applies a force to a segment of a patient's airway.

Apparatus and methods for the treatment of sleep apnea

A temperature measurement probe for a patient is provided. The probe includes a sensor assembly and produces a temperature map comprising temperature information for multiple patient locations.

Ablation and temperature measurement devices

An electrical junction box includes a housing that defines an internal space. The housing has a front, which is open. A buss bar is coupled to the housing and is positioned in the internal space. A plurality of connectors is coupled to the buss bar and extends through a respective opposing side of the housing. A plurality of couplers is coupled to the buss bar. The couplers are positioned on a front face of the buss bar. The connectors are configured for insertion of wires, such that the wires are coupled to the buss bar and the buss bar is coupled to an electrical circuit. The couplers are configured for insertion of wiring that is coupled to an electrical device, such as a switch, light, fan or outlet. The wiring is coupled to the buss bar and the electrical device is coupled to the electrical circuit.

A device for delivering fluid to a person including a reservoir for containing a fluid to be delivered to the person, a fluid transport device for dispensing fluid from said reservoir to the person, said fluid transport device including a proximal end in fluid communication with said reservoir and a distal end having a penetrating member for piercing the skin of the person to facilitate the delivery of fluid to the person through the fluid transport device, a housing containing said reservoir and said fluid transport device, said housing including an exit port for receiving said distal end of said fluid transport device upon injection of said distal end into said person and means for securing a first wall of said housing to the skin of the person, a injection activation device including a driving mechanism contacting said fluid transport device for driving said penetrating member from a first position within said housing, through said exit port to a second position, external to said housing and into the skin of said person, and an electrically driven actuator for activating said driving mechanism.

Transcutaneous fluid delivery system

A device for delivering fluid to a patient including an exit port assembly, a reservoir including a side wall extending towards an outlet connected to the exit port assembly, a threaded lead screw received at least partly in the reservoir and longitudinally extending towards the outlet, and a plunger secured to the lead screw and having an outer periphery linearly slideable along the side wall of the reservoir. A tube is coaxially received on the lead screw and includes a longitudinal slot, a pin extending through the lead screw and the slot of the tube, and a gear is secured to the tube for rotation therewith.

Dispenser components and methods for patient infusion device

A transcutaneous access tool includes a first cannula moveable along an axis, a fixed member including an elongated prong extending parallel with the axis, and a deployment member secured to the first cannula and movable along the axis away from the fixed member. The deployment member includes spaced-apart, resiliently flexible fingers extending parallel with the axis and having distal ends that are laterally enlarged with respect to the axis. The resiliently flexible fingers are received on the prong of the fixed member. A second cannula is disposed within the lumen of the first cannula, and retraction member is secured to the second cannula and is movable along the axis. The retraction member includes at least one catch catching on the laterally enlarged distal ends of the fingers of the deployment element when the fingers are laterally held apart by the prong of the fixed member.

Components and methods for patient infusion device

A device for delivering fluid, such as insulin for example, to a patient. The device includes a flow path having an exit port assembly adapted to connect to a transcutaneous patient access tool, and a reservoir connected to the exit port assembly. The device also includes a flow restriction system having an air removal filter communicating with the flow path and allowing air to exit the flow path and preventing fluid from exiting the flow path, and a flow restrictor positioned within the flow path between the air removal filter and the exit port assembly. Among other features and advantages, the flow restriction system of the present invention allows the flow path of the fluid delivery device to be purged of air, or 'primed' prior to operation, such that desired volumes of fluid can be accurately delivered by the device.
