Abstract: A male bayonet connector includes a first shaft having a first distal end portion having a first sealing surface configured to form a substantially fluid-tight seal with a female connector, a first proximal end portion opposite the first distal end portion, a first lumen extending substantially along a first longitudinal axis of the first shaft from the first distal end portion to the first proximal end portion, and a first channel formed on an outer surface of the first shaft between the first sealing surface and the first proximal end portion. The first channel at least partially extends circumferentially around the first longitudinal axis. The first channel is also defined by a first distal wall, a first proximal wall opposite the first distal wall, and a first central region extending from the first distal wall to the first proximal wall. The first distal wall includes a first axial length that is at least one of curved or at an acute angle relative to the first longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A protective cover for an insertion probe of a medical instrument. The cover contains a flexible tubular body that compliments the probe geometry and a radially disposed flange that surrounds the proximal end of the body. A series of snap-on fasteners removably connect the cover to the instrument. A camming surface is located on the outer face of the flange which coacts with a cam follower that is movably mounted upon the instrument to flex the cover sufficiently to open the fastener and release the cover from the instrument and move the cover axially toward the distal end of the tip.

Abstract: A temperature probe includes a handle and a shaft extending from the handle. The shaft includes a distal end, a proximal end, and a tip at the distal end. The temperature probe also includes a capacitance sensor disposed on one of the handle and the shaft, the capacitance sensor configured to measure a change in capacitance when positioned proximate a conductor. The temperature probe further includes a temperature sensor disposed on the shaft, the temperature sensor configured to measure a body cavity temperature of a patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermometer for determining the temperature of an animal's ear drum. The thermometer includes a probe, an infrared-radiation detector adapted to receive infrared radiation emitted by the ear drum, and devices that help determine the probe's position in the ear canal so as to optimize the infrared radiation received from the ear drum, and to minimize the infrared radiation received from other ear parts. A method of using the thermometer is also disclosed.

Abstract: A temperature measurement system includes a temperature probe including a temperature sensor. The system also includes a reader, and a controller in communication with the temperature sensor and the reader. The system further includes a container housing a plurality of probe covers associated with the temperature probe. The container includes an information feature providing information related to the plurality of probe covers. The reader is configured to read the information and direct a signal to the controller indicative of the information.
