PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To integrally operate a plurality of medical devices.SOLUTION: Provided is a method for a server scheduling maintenance of a medical device. The server stores, in a computing system remote from the medical device, a medical device maintenance schedule including a reminder to perform maintenance on the medical device; and transmits the reminder from the computing system to the medical device.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a needle guard mechanism for protecting a user and another person from the sharpened tip of a needle after drawn out of a patient.SOLUTION: A clip is equipped with a first wall (16), a second wall (20) and the struts (24 and 26) for connecting the first and second walls. The second wall is formed into an L-shape as a whole and an integral lip (36) is formed to the free end thereof. The lip has a coining processing place which prescribes a stylus (38) constituted so as to be capable of coming into contact with a needle shaft in the first state of the clip allowing the needle shaft to pierce, so that the lip functions so as to close a needle tip in the second state of the clip grasping the needle shaft therein.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a convective warmer capable of optimally inflating blankets of various dimensions.SOLUTION: The convective warmer is capable of providing air to the various blankets at flow rates that optimally inflate the blankets. The convection warmer may have multiple fixed air flow rates each selectable by a user via switches 26 either electronically or mechanically. For the electronic selection of a given flow rate, a motor 6 is used. To vary the flow rate mechanically, a valve is controlled. In addition, a feedback circuit that maintains the pressure sensed at the outlet of the warmer to a preset pressure is used.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a convective warmer to which blankets of different dimensions may be connected, that is capable of providing air to the various blankets at flow rates that optimally inflate those blankets to achieve the optimal clinical result for the patients covered by those blankets.SOLUTION: The blanket connected to the warmer may range from a full size adult warming blanket to a pediatric or neonate warming blanket. There is provided on each blanket a code, marking or marker, to be read by a sensor(s) provided at the outlet of the warmer, that identifies the type of blanket when the blanket is coupled to the warmer. Consequently, heated air may be automatically output by the warmer to the blanket at the appropriate flow rate of that blanket to optimally inflate the blanket without any need for intervention by a user. In addition to being used to control the flow rate of the heated air, the code from the blanket may also be used to control the temperature of the heated air to be input to the blanket.
