Embodiment 1

[0102] Example 1: A connector interface comprising a distally tapered outer end and a proximally tapered conical inner end for gathering, retaining and flushing cleaning Debris removed from the tubing by catheters or other instruments inserted into the connector interface described above.

Embodiment 2

[0103] Example 2: An endotracheal tube connection manifold comprising a distal endotracheal tube connection and a proximal connection for ventilation and access of an interchangeable catheter, including a shut-off valve on the catheter side that substantially eliminates This eliminates dead space in the ventilation circuit and facilitates cleaning of the catheter without loss of tidal volume or positive end-expiratory pressure.

Embodiment 3

[0104] Embodiment 3: A germicidal UVC device adapted to be removably coupled to a catheter or other device comprising a proximal end having a UVC source and a coupling mechanism adapted to be removably coupled to the catheter or other device.

[0105] The device according to embodiment 3, further comprising one or more of the following:

[0106] a) coupling mechanisms adapted to prevent the emission of energy or light when not connected to catheters or other equipment for cleaning;

[0107] b) integrated timers for ensuring proper energy or light emission;

[0108] c) an indicator light adapted to indicate when the device is active and / or when a light delivery cycle has been completed;

[0109] d) Charging interface;

[0110] e) low power indicator; and / or

[0111] f) Quartz protrusions (eg, cones) to transmit UVC light deeper into the housing of the catheter or other device.

Abstract

Systems and methods for cleaning and maintaining artificial airways sized for insertion within pediatric or neonatal patients (e.g., external diameters of less than 5 mm) are disclosed. The system includes a multi-port ventilator manifold configured to couple to a ventilation source, thereby forming a ventilator circuit with the patient. The manifold includes an occluder configured to advantageously reduce an amount of dead space in the manifold so as to prevent loss of positive end expiratory pressure of the ventilator circuit and reduce the likelihood of broncho-pulmonary dysplasia of the patient, or even premature death.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 441,037, filed December 30, 2016, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. This application is related to PCT Publication No. WO 2015 / 187583, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] Embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to devices, systems, and methods for cleaning an artificial airway or a tube inserted into the body (eg, an endotracheal tube) and / or for airway management. Background technique [0004] During an intubation procedure, an endotracheal tube may be placed in a patient who cannot effectively sustain life-support ventilation and breathing on their own. Endotracheal tubes are used in patient care to keep the airway open through the mouth, pharynx, and trachea to the lungs. The use of an endotracheal tube is appropriate when the integrity of the...
