A holder system for mounting medical device components
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230310837A1) describes a holder system for mounting medical device components to a control console support. The system includes a triplex holder arm that connects to and supports the medical device components. A receiver is attached to the control console support and connects to the triplex holder arm, allowing the medical device components to be mounted on the control console support. A locking assembly is included to releasably connect the triplex holder arm to the receiver.
The locking assembly in the holder system can have different configurations. In one embodiment, it includes a latch within the receiver and a recess formed in the receiver. A moveable latching arm is operably coupled to move the latch. The holder arm has a protrusion at one end that can be inserted into the recess. The latching arm can engage and disengage the protrusion on the holder arm via the latch, locking the holder arm in connection with the receiver or releasing it by moving the latching arm between different positions.
Alternatively, the locking assembly can have a latch within the holder arm itself. The latch is moveable between different positions to engage a protrusion on the receiver, locking the holder arm in connection with the receiver or releasing it.
Another configuration of the locking assembly includes a first part on the end of the holder arm, a second part, and at least one fastener. The first and second parts can be fastened together around the receiver, gripping it and securing the holder arm.
The patent also describes a portable medical device system that includes the holder system. This system comprises at least two medical device components, a medical device control console, and the holder system. The holder arm in this system is configured to releasably connect to the medical device components, and the receiver is attached to the medical device control console. The locking assembly is used to connect the holder arm to the receiver.
The medical device components can include a medical blood pump and an oxygenator. The holder arm has a triplex configuration with receptacles for connecting the medical device components. It is designed to maintain a relative position between the components suitable for patient transport.
Overall, this patent describes a holder system for mounting medical device components to a control console support, providing a secure and releasable connection. The system can be used in a portable medical device system, allowing for easy transport and control of medical devices.
