Abstract:
A system for anal and/or stomal irrigation comprises a reservoir (102) for an irrigating liquid, a catheter (100) comprising a catheter tip for insertion into the rectum or stoma of a user and for expelling of the irrigating liquid from the catheter tip, and a tubing system (119, 121) providing a conduit for the irrigating liquid between the reservoir and the catheter tip. A pump (101) is provided to pump the irrigating liquid from the reservoir to the catheter tip, and a control system controls a flow condition, such as the amount of liquid expelled at the catheter tip. A sensor (153) determines a measure of pressure in at least one first predetermined position in the tubing system and/or the catheter during operation of the pump, on the basis of which the flow condition is estimated. The control system (103) is configured to control the pumping operation of the pump in response to the measure of pressure.

Abstract:
A suction system for removal of exudate from a wound comprises a wound cover which is attachable to a wound circumference of a living being thereby to form an enclosure, and a pump in fluid communication with the enclosure to provide a pressure difference between a negative pressure in the enclosure and an air pressure of an ambient space. A deflectable member is arranged such with respect to the enclosure that the pressure difference may cause deflection of the deflectable member, and a pressure sensing device is located outside the enclosure and arranged to provide a signal in response to the pressure or the deflection of the deflectable member. The deflectable member forms an essentially air tight barrier between the sensor and the enclosure.
Abstract:
Data collection schemes for a wound dressing and related methods are disclosed. In an embodiment, a monitor device for a wound dressing system comprises a wound dressing. The wound dressing comprises an electrode assembly. The electrode assembly comprises a plurality of electrodes including a first set of first electrodes and a second set of second electrodes. The monitor device comprises: a processor, memory and a first interface. The first interface is connected to the processor and the memory. The first interface comprises a plurality of terminals including a first terminal and a second terminal and a data collector coupled to the first terminal and the second terminal. The first terminal is configured to form an electrical connection with a first primary electrode of the first set of first electrodes and the second terminal is configured to form an electrical connection with either a first secondary electrode of the first set of first electrodes or a second primary electrode of the second set of second electrodes. The data collector comprises a data collection controller and is configured to: collect data from the plurality of terminals according to a primary data collection scheme; and collect data from the plurality of terminals according to a secondary data collection scheme, wherein the primary data collection scheme is different from the secondary data collection scheme.
