Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation device suction cup
Examples of the disclosure include a universal suction cup for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation device having a first circular member extending from a piston-facing surface, and a second circular member concentric to the first circular member extending from the piston-facing surface, the second circular member having a diameter that is less than the first circular member. Example of the disclosure also include suction cups with rigid members to reduce the amount of force necessary to attach the suction cup to a patient. Examples of the disclosure also include a mechanical compression device which can detect the type of suction cup attached to a compression member and activate particular features or settings based on the attached suction cup.
1 . A suction cup for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation device, comprising:
a piston facing surface having a connector structured to attach to a piston;
a first circular member extending from the piston-facing surface in a direction away from an end of the piston and forming a suction cup, the first circular member having an interior surface that forms a concave structure; and
a second circular member concentric to the first circular member extending from the piston-facing surface in the direction away from the end of the piston and forming a rigid member, the second circular member having a diameter at a distal end that is less than a diameter of the first circular member, wherein the distal end of the second circular member abuts the interior surface of the first circular member when the suction cup is compressed.
2 . The suction cup of claim 1 , wherein the first circular member includes a plurality of ridges at a distal end of the first circular member configured to engage with a chest of a patient.
3 . The suction cup of claim 1 , wherein the first circular member includes a plurality of cavities at a distal end of the first circular member configured to engage with a chest of a patient.
4 . The suction cup of claim 1 , wherein the first circular member includes a one-way valve.
5 . The suction cup of claim 4 , wherein the one-way valve is an umbrella valve or a duckbill valve.
6 . The suction cup of claim 1 , further comprising an identifier configured to output an identification of the suction cup when attached to the cardiopulmonary resuscitation device.
7 . The suction cup of claim 6 , wherein the identifier includes a radio frequency identification tag, an integrated circuit, or a quick response code.
8 . The suction cup of claim 6 , wherein the identifier includes a proprietary code that indicates what type of suction cup is attached.
9 . The suction cup of claim 1 , wherein the rigid member has a length that is less than half of a distance between the piston facing surface and a distal end of the first circular member configured to engage with a chest of a patient.
10 . A mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device, comprising:
a piston;
a suction cup, comprising:
a piston facing surface having a connector structured to attach to the piston at an end of the piston,
a first circular member extending from the piston-facing surface in a direction away from an end of the piston and forming a suction cup, the first circular member having an interior surface that forms a concave structure,
a second circular member concentric to the first circular member extending from the piston-facing surface in the direction away from the end of the piston and forming a rigid member, the second circular member having a diameter at a distal end that is less than a diameter of the first circular member, wherein the distal end of the second circular member abuts the interior surface of the first circular member when the suction cup is compressed, and
an identifier configured to output an identification of the suction cup when attached to the piston; and
a processor configured to receive the identification of the suction cup when attached to the piston and to adjust a treatment protocol based on the identification of the suction cup.
11 . The mechanical CPR device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to adjust the treatment protocol based on the identification of the suction cup by being configured to:
select a CPR protocol from a plurality of CPR protocols based on the identification of the suction cup; and
cause the CPR device to perform the selected CPR protocol.
12 . The mechanical CPR device of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of CPR protocols include at least one of a pediatric CPR protocol, a universal suction cup CPR protocol, a pregnancy CPR protocol, and an active decompressions CPR protocol.
13 . The mechanical CPR device of claim 10 , wherein the identification of the suction cup includes a radio frequency identification tag, an integrated circuit, or a quick response code.
14 . The mechanical CPR device of claim 10 , further comprising a reader configured to read the identification of the suction cup.
15 . The mechanical CPR device of claim 10 , wherein the identification of the suction cup includes a proprietary code that indicates what type of suction cup is attached.
16 . The mechanical CPR device of claim 10 , wherein the first circular member includes a plurality of ridges at a distal end of the first circular member configured to engage with a chest of a patient.
17 . The mechanical CPR device of claim 10 , wherein the first circular member includes a plurality of cavities at a distal end of the first circular member configured to engage with a chest of a patient.
18 . The mechanical CPR device of claim 10 , wherein the first circular member includes a one-way valve.
19 . The mechanical CPR device of claim 18 , wherein the one-way valve is an umbrella valve or a duckbill valve.
20 . The mechanical CPR device of claim 10 , wherein the rigid member has a length that is less than half of a distance between the piston facing surface and a distal end of the first circular member configured to engage with a chest of a patient.
