End-tidal carbon monoxide monitor filter

Granted: January 24, 1995
Patent Number: D354808

Filter unit for end tidal carbon monoxide monitor

Granted: October 25, 1994
Patent Number: 5357971
A noninvasive device and methods for measuring the end-tidal carbon monoxide concentration in a patient's breath, particularly newborn and premature infants. The patient's breath is monitored. An average carbon monoxide concentration is determined based on an average of discrete samples in a given time period. The ratio of the end-tidal portion of the breath flow sample is separately determined, preferably based on monitoring the level of carbon dioxide in the gas sample and identifying…

Acoustically sealing earmuff for an infant

Granted: September 14, 1993
Patent Number: 5243709
A cup member defines a cavity for covering an infant's ear, and an annular member extends from an end portion of the cup member. The cup member and the annular member each comprise a first sound attenuating layer of foam material which attenuates high frequency sound and a second sound attenuating layer of a material which attenuates low frequency sound. The annular member has a surface for placing the earmuff against the infant's head. A hydrogel adhesive is disposed on the surface for…
