Abstract
A system may include an optical reader device associated with a medical device, such that when the optical reader device is in one of a plurality of predetermined states, the optical reader device provides one of a plurality of signals associated with the plurality of predetermined states, providing an indication that the medical device is known and further providing an indication of the type of known medical device.
Claims21
A connector for a catheter assembly, the connector comprising:
- a body defining longitudinal axis and a lumen;
- a first fitting at a first end of the body;
- a second fitting at a second end of the body;
- a flexible seal disposed in the first fitting for preventing contamination in the first fitting;
- and
- a scrubbing sensor disposed on the body a predetermined distance from an end of the first fitting,
- wherein the scrubbing sensor is configured to generate a electrical signal in response to a strain in the body, wherein the strain corresponds to at least one of a force applied to the first fitting and a torque applied to the first fitting.
The connector of claim 41, wherein the scrubbing sensor is arranged on the body such that a primary axis of the piezoelectric film is at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis.
A medical device management system comprising:
- at least one processor programmed or configured to:
- receive motion data associated with motion of a medical device;
- determine whether the data associated with motion of the medical device satisfies a threshold;
- receive optical data associated with an optical reading of a target based on determining that the data associated with motion of the medical device satisfies the threshold;
- determine a state of the medical device based on the data associated with the reading of the target;
- and
- perform an action based on the state of the medical device.
