20130046216 | SYSTEM FOR DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS THERAPY INTEGRAL TO A PERSON SUPPORT APPARATUS - The disclosure provides a system for DVT prevention and therapy coupled to a person support surface of a person-support apparatus. In one embodiment the system can include at least one bladder, a controller, a fluid supply unit and a valve assembly in one embodiment. The at least one bladder can be configured to provide percussion therapy or sequential compression to the lower limbs of the person supported on the person-support apparatus. The fluid supply unit can be configured to supply fluid to the at least one bladder via the valve assembly. The controller can control the opening and closing of the valve assembly depending on the pressure inside the at least one bladder. In another embodiment, the system for DVT prevention and therapy uses mechanical actuation devices to provide a mechanical stimulus to the patient's limb. | 02-21-2013 |

20130231596 | SEQUENTIAL COMPRESSION THERAPY COMPLIANCE MONITORING SYSTEMS & METHODS - A system to determine usage and monitor compliance of a Sequential Compression Therapy (SCT) device is disclosed. The system is configured to track the duration, amplitude and frequency of application of sequential compression therapy and communicate this information over a communication network. The system further includes sensing capability incorporated in the compression sleeve to monitor physiological signals. The system is configured to trigger an alarm if either the duration of the sequential compression therapy or the physiological signal does not meet a predetermined threshold. | 09-05-2013 |
20130309713 | PATHOGEN DETECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Pathogen and chemical detection systems for use with a patient support apparatus and related methods are disclosed. A fluid or biologic sample from the vicinity of a person supported by a person support apparatus is acquired and transmitted to a pathogen detection sensor. A graphical caregiver interface is supplied output from the pathogen detection sensor and detects the presence of a chemical. The graphical caregiver interface communicates with an electronic medical records database, and alarm and a nurse call system. | 11-21-2013 |
20130310696 | PRESSURE ULCER DETECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Pressure ulcer detection systems and related methods are disclosed. Images of a patient supported by a person support apparatus are captured and analyzed to identify areas of the patient's skin which have a color different from surrounding areas of the patient's skin by a predetermined amount. A dielectric material attached with a positively charged electrode and a negatively charged electrode is configured to be in contact with the patient's skin. Differences in electric potential between areas of skin relative to surrounding areas of skin are identified. | 11-21-2013 |
20130317399 | ADVERSE CONDITION DETECTION, ASSESSMENT, AND RESPONSE SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES - A method comprises receiving an input indicative of at least one factor that contributes to the development of pressure ulcers; determining a risk score as a function of the input; comparing the risk score to a previous risk score; and at least one of activating a therapy configured to reduce the magnitude of the factor and notifying a caregiver if the risk score is greater than the previous risk score. | 11-28-2013 |
20140013503 | Monitoring Systems Devices and Methods for Patient Lifts - A monitoring system comprises a lift assembly configured to lift a patient; a control system configured to control operation of the lift system; and a reporting system in communication with the control system and configured to receive operational information for the lift assembly. The reporting system compares the operational information to a predetermined set of values to determine if the operation of the lift is in compliance with the protocols. | 01-16-2014 |
20140022081 | OCCUPANT EGRESS PREDICTION SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES - A method comprises determining a person's level of risk for developing an adverse condition; selecting a care protocol based on the level of risk; displaying a proposed configuration of a person support structure corresponding to the care protocol for a caregiver to approve; and upon approval by the caregiver, implementing the configuration. | 01-23-2014 |
