An apparatus, system, and method for managing respiratory secretions and fluids in sections of artificial airways. In an embodiment of the invention, a respiratory secretion retention (RSR) device configured to fluidly connect to an artificial airway can be provided. The device can include a housing that defines a passageway for the flow of respiratory gases with at least two chambers coupled to the housing. The chambers are configured to retain exhaled respiratory particulate and liquid. The respiratory secretion retention device further includes a patient port coupled to the housing that is in fluid communication with the artificial airway and a repositionable barrier configured to isolate at least one of the two chambers from the passageway. In another embodiment, a secretion removal assembly can connect to a respiratory secretion retention device; the secretion removal assembly includes a connector configured for connecting to a port of the respiratory secretion retention device and a spike coupled to the connector.

Provided herein is a novel human polyomavirus, its nucleic acid sequence, as well as methods to detect and diagnosis the presence of the polyomavirus.

A novel and non-obvious apparatus, system, and method for managing respiratory secretions and fluids in sections of artificial airways. In an embodiment of the invention, a respiratory secretion retention (RSR) device configured to connect to an artificial airway can be provided. The respiratory secretion retention (RSR) device can include a housing that defines a passageway for the flow of respiratory gases, a chamber that is defined by the housing, where a portion of the chamber is configured to retain exhaled respiratory particulate and liquid, and at least one element configured to provide for repositioning at least a portion of the housing with respect to the artificial airway. In an aspect of this embodiment, the at least a portion of the housing can be repositioned with respect to the artificial airway without opening the artificial airway to the atmosphere.

The invention discloses a humidifier used between oxygen and an oxygen humidifying device. After the humidifier is installed between an oxygen bottle connecting pipe 8 and the conventional humidifying device 9, the humidity of oxygen can be increased by switching on the humidifier for a short term according to the requirements of patients so as to relieve dysphoria caused by respiratory tract hydropenia and dryness, and the problems of nose dryness and tickle, throat dryness and foreign body sensation, cough, respiratory mucosa hyperaemia, bleeding, respiratory secretion dryness and hardness and the like are well solved.

Disclosed is a closed suction catheter for removing respiratory secretions secreted from a patient's airway, the closed suction catheter including: a tube (10) covered with a flexible outer skin (20); a suction controller (30); and a connection adaptor (40), wherein the suction controller (30) includes a main body (31) being connected to the flexible outer skin (20) by a coupling ring (32) and including: two tube holes (311 and 312) formed in the main body (31); a longitudinal groove (313) formed between the tube holes (311 and 312), with a roller (33) installed in the groove (313); a guide portion (315) formed on a side wall (314) of the groove (313); and a bottom surface (316) inclindly formed at the main body (31) with the tube (10) placed on the bottom surface (316), such that an opening ratio of the tube (10) is controlled by movement of the roller (33).

The invention discloses a robot and system for new coronavirus sampling medical operation. The robot for new coronavirus sampling medical operation comprises an elastic connecting piece, a plurality of connecting plates, a plurality of telescopic assemblies, a driving assembly and a flexible sampling assembly. The multiple connecting plates are connected with the elastic connecting piece and distributed in the length direction of the elastic connecting piece at intervals. The two ends of each telescopic assembly are connected with the two corresponding adjacent connecting plates respectively, each telescopic assembly comprises a plurality of telescopic pieces arranged around the corresponding elastic connecting piece, the multiple telescopic pieces are divided into at least two telescopic sets, and each telescopic set comprises two telescopic pieces arranged opposite to the corresponding elastic connecting piece. The driving assembly can drive the telescopic pieces to stretch. The flexible sampling assembly is arranged in the multiple connecting plates and the multiple telescopic assemblies in a penetrating mode and used for collecting respiratory tract new coronavirus specimens. The robot can freely bend and move in the special-shaped respiratory tract of the human body, sampling of secreta in the respiratory tract of the human body is achieved, examination pain is relieved, and examination difficulty is lowered.

Disclosed is a system for respiratory system secretion management. The system comprises an oscillatory wave generator for generating a wave for loosening secretion from a respiratory system of a subject, a nasal module in communication with the oscillatory wave generator, for delivering the wave through a nasal passage of the subject, a power module configured to power the system, and a communication module coupled to at least one of the nasal module and the oscillatory wave generator. The communication module is for selectively communicating power and / or one or more waveform characteristics to the respective nasal module and / or oscillatory wave generator.
