Assembly For Delivering Protective Barriers Onto Stethoscope Heads

US Patent:
7942597, May 17, 2011
Filed:
Aug 28, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/584061
Inventors:
Michael Perlman - Davie FL, US
James M. Sellers - Portsmouth NH, US
Keith Rubin - Fort Lauderdale FL, US
Mathew Cardinali - Berwick ME, US
Michael R. Cole - Stratham NH, US
Sidney Perlman - Boca Raton FL, US
Assignee:
Seedlings Life Science Ventures, LLC - New York NY
International Classification:
B43K 29/00
US Classification:
401198, 221208, 221222
Abstract:
An assembly structured to restrict contamination of individuals from association with the heads of stethoscope comprising a housing including a path of travel along which the head portion passes. Different embodiments include the dispensing of cleaning fluid or the delivery of protective barriers onto predetermined portions of the stethoscope heads, while passing along the path of travel. A dispenser assembly and a cooperatively disposed activating assembly are manually operated by moveable, driving engagement with the head portion passing through the housing. The activating assembly is thereby operatively positioned to activate the dispenser assembly when engaged by a head passing along the path of travel. Differently structured dispenser assemblies function to either deliver the cleaning fluid or individually dispense the barriers onto different heads, so as to either facilitate the cleaning or protective covering of exposed surfaces of the stethoscope heads, dependent on the embodiment utilized.

Inflation And Monitoring Assembly For A Pressure Cuff Of An Endotracheal Tube

US Patent:
2011022, Sep 15, 2011
Filed:
Aug 20, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/806810
Inventors:
Stephen Jay Lowenstein - Englewood Cliffs NJ, US
Nathan E. Winters - Merrimack NH, US
Michael R. Cole - Stratham NH, US
Klaus D. Lessnau - New York NY, US
Keith Rubin - Fort Lauderdale FL, US
James M. Sellers - Portsmouth NH, US
International Classification:
A61M 16/04
US Classification:
12820714
Abstract:
An assembly structured to inflate a retaining or pressure cuff associated with an artificial airway tube and concurrently monitor pressure therein. A pump assembly is structured to force fluid flow to the retaining cuff, for inflation, through a pressure chamber within a casing of the assemblies. An indicator member is observable through a casing window and is variably positionable dependent on and indicative of existing pressure within the retaining cuff. Existing pressure within the pressure chamber is substantially equivalent to that within the retaining cuff and is thereby indicative of pressure within the retaining cuff. A junction may be disposed in removable interconnecting relation between the casing and an inflation lumen and be structured to prevent reconnection there between.

Stethoscope Disinfection Monitoring And Reporting System

US Patent:
2011019, Aug 18, 2011
Filed:
Feb 18, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/660024
Inventors:
Keith Rubin - Fort Lauderdale FL, US
Michael R. Cole - Stratham NH, US
James M. Sellers - Portsmouth NH, US
International Classification:
B08B 7/04
US Classification:
134 18
Abstract:
A stethoscope disinfection monitoring and reporting system structured and configured to track, monitor and report the cleaning, disinfecting, and/or sterilizing of the head portion of a stethoscope is presented. The system comprises a stethoscope cleaning assembly cooperatively structured and configured to clean the head portion of the stethoscope, for instance, via the application of a cleaning fluid or solution thereto. The system further comprises a monitoring device and a cooperatively structured and disposed reader assembly. The monitoring device may be unique to, or otherwise serve to identify, the stethoscope. The reader assembly is structured and disposed to detect, identify, and record data pertaining to the monitoring device and/or stethoscope upon cleaning the head portion, or otherwise upon disposition of the head portion into a cleaning relation with the stethoscope cleaning assembly.

Stethoscope Cleaning Assembly

US Patent:
2010011, May 13, 2010
Filed:
Sep 2, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/584276
Inventors:
Michael Perlman - Davie FL, US
James M. Sellers - Portsmouth NH, US
Keith Rubin - Fort Lauderdale FL, US
Mathew Cardinali - Berwick ME, US
Michael R. Cole - Stratham NH, US
Sidney Perlman - Boca Raton FL, US
International Classification:
B08B 3/00
US Classification:
134133
Abstract:
An assembly structured to clean the head portion of a stethoscope comprising a housing including a path of travel along which the head portion passes during cleaning. A supply of cleaning fluid is associated with a dispenser assembly which is cooperatively disposed relative to an activating assembly. The activating assembly is manually operated due to moveable engagement with the head portion as it travels along the path of travel. The activating assembly is thereby operatively positioned to activate the dispenser assembly when engaged by the head portion as it passes along the path of travel. The dispenser assembly delivers the cleaning fluid to an applicator assembly which distributes the cleaning fluid to the head portion and facilitates the cleaning thereof and removal of excess cleaning fluid there from. At least one disinfectant agent is dispersed within or comprises a portion of said housing and is formulated to be destructively effective against pathogenic bacteria which is generally not affected by the cleaning fluid.

System And Method For Precisely Identifying A Configuration Of An Anatomical Space In Real Time

US Patent:
2005020, Sep 15, 2005
Filed:
Feb 11, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/056939
Inventors:
Stephen Zappala - Andover MA, US
Jim Sellers - Portsmouth NH, US
Keith Rubin - Fort Lauderdale FL, US
International Classification:
A61B008/00
US Classification:
600439000
Abstract:
A method of identifying a configuration of an anatomical space within a patient in real-time for the precise performance of a procedure at a site of medical interest associated with the anatomical space, wherein a catheter containing an external, inflatable imaging bladder is introduced into the patient until the image bladder is generally aligned with the site of medical interest, an imaging probe of an imaging device is operatively positioned relative to the site of medical interest and is activated so as to obtain a real-time image of the site of medical interest, the imaging bladder being filled when needed to essentially turn on and define a visible and discernable interface between the interior of the imaging bladder and a boundary of the anatomical space. Preferably, the method is employed utilizing an identification system that includes a catheter having an imaging bladder disposed in spaced relation from the tip of the catheter and structured to be filled with a fluid such as air through an inflation conduit so that the imaging bladder contacts the patient and defines a visible interface at a boundary therebetween that is visible utilizing an imaging device.

Apparatus And Method For Rapid Auto-Injection Of Medication

US Patent:
7658724, Feb 9, 2010
Filed:
Mar 24, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/089485
Inventors:
Keith H. Rubin - Fort Lauderdale FL, US
James M. Sellers - Salem NH, US
Haydn B. Taylor - Nashua NH, US
Assignee:
Seedings Life Science Ventures LLC - New York NY
International Classification:
A61M 5/20, A61M 5/00
US Classification:
604137, 604181, 604110
Abstract:
An auto-injector for rapid delivery of a bolus of injectable medication has a generally flat, sealed housing with small peripheral dimensions, approximating those of a credit card. A syringe, configured to be contained within the flat housing is pre-filled with the medication. The housing contains a mechanism that, when triggered, automatically drives the syringe and needle forwardly to an injection position and then continues to compress the volume of the syringe to effect rapid injection. The forward injection end of the device includes an actuator that also conceals and protects the needle at all times and, prevents post-injection hazards. The flat faces of the device have graphic symbols and other visual indicia relating to the operation and condition of the device. The device enables a simple three-step operation that reduces the risk of improper use.
