DEVICES FOR PERFORMING A MEDICAL PROCEDURE WITHIN AN APPROPRIATE INTERVAL AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Systems and methods for indicating an interval in which a procedure (or sub-procedure) should be carried out are disclosed. Some systems and methods involve timing various sub-procedures and alerting a practitioner at the completion of a sub-procedure period. Some systems and methods include a sensor, such as a temperature sensor, that is used determine a window of time in which a variable-viscosity material is of suitable viscosity for delivery to a patient.

1. A system for delivering a mixture to a patient, the system comprising:
a delivery device configured to deliver a variable-viscosity mixture to a patient; and one or more indicia that are configured to automatically transition from a first state to a second state, and then to a third state, wherein the transition to the second state occurs at a first time point and the transition to the third state occurs at the second time point; wherein the transition from the first state to the second state at the first time point indicates a boundary between a first non-delivery period and a delivery period, and wherein the transition to the third state at the second time point indicates a boundary between the delivery period and a second non-delivery period.
