US Patent:

20100286754, Nov 11, 2010

Filed:

May 6, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/775217

Inventors:

Deborah C. Bly - Chesterfield MO, US

International Classification:

A61F 7/00

US Classification:

607107

Abstract:

An assembly for preventing and treating moisture-based skin dermatitis includes an air flow conditioning module positioned in the output air flow in the output air flow chamber for increasing or decreasing the temperature of the generated air flow as received from the fan responsive to a received control signal, a temperature sensor positioned in the output air flow at the nozzle for sensing a current temperature of the output air flow as conditioned by the air flow conditioning module, an air flow conditioning control module is coupled to the air flow conditioning module and the temperature sensor and is configured for generating the control signal, and air flow conditioning control module that has a defined maximum temperature of the output airflow and is adapted for receiving the sensed current temperature from the temperature sensor, comparing the current temperature to the defined maximum temperature, and generating the control signal to provide the generated air flow at the nozzle does not exceed the defined maximum temperature.

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
G06N 5/02

US Classification:

600301, 706 47

Abstract:

A system or method for assessing a patient for pressure related skin injury risk and recommended treatment including measuring extrinsic and intrinsic skin pressure of the patient and assigning a rating responsive to the skin pressure measurement, measuring oxygenation of the patient and assigning a rating responsive to the oxygenation measurement, measuring perfusion of the patient and assigning a rating responsive to the perfusion measurement, summing the skin pressure, oxygenation and perfusion ratings to obtain a POP Box score, determining a risk of pressure related skin injury for the patient in response to the POP Box score, and determining or selecting a recommended treatment from among a plurality of recommended treatments for the patient in response to the determined risk of pressure related skin injury.

US Classification:

607104

Abstract:

An assembly for preventing and treating skin dermatitis includes an air flow conditioning module positioned in the output air flow increasing or decreasing the temperature of the generated air flow as received from the fan responsive to a received control signal, a temperature sensor positioned in the output air flow sensing a current temperature of the output air flow as conditioned by the air flow conditioning module, an air flow conditioning control module is coupled to the air flow conditioning module and the temperature sensor for generating the control signal, and air flow conditioning control module that has a definable temperature range of the output airflow and for receiving the sensed current temperature from the temperature sensor, comparing the current temperature to the defined temperature range, and generating the control signal to provide the generated air flow at the nozzle is within the defined temperature range.

Abstract:

A system or method for pressure related skin injury risk assessment and treatment including measuring extrinsic and intrinsic skin pressure of the patient through assigned ratings responsive to the skin pressure measurement, measuring oxygenation of the patient and assigning a rating responsive to the oxygenation measurement, measuring perfusion of the patient and assigning a rating responsive to the perfusion measurement, summing the skin pressure, oxygenation and perfusion ratings to obtain a POP Box score, determining a risk of pressure related skin injury for the patient in response to the POP Box score, and determining or selecting a recommended treatment from among a plurality of recommended treatments for the patient in response to the determined risk of pressure related skin injury.
