SYSTEM AND ASSEMBLY FOR INFLATING AND MONITORING PRESSURE WITHIN A RETAINING CUFF

摘要

A system and accompanying assembly, of integrated or modular construction, for inflating and monitoring pressure within a retaining cuff including a housing having a pressure chamber connected in fluid communication with a fluid pressure source and a fluid communicating connection with the retaining cuff. Associated control circuitry includes a pressure sensor disposable in fluid communication with the pressure chamber and the retaining cuff, via the fluid communicating connection and structured to concurrently determine and monitor pressure within the pressure chamber and the retaining cuff. The control circuitry is cooperatively structured with the pressure sensor and other operative components to establish dynamic multilevel sampling capabilities, calibration parameters stored within the control circuitry prior to use and limited or single use capabilities of the assembly.

1. A system for inflating and monitoring pressure within a retaining cuff, said system comprising:
a housing including a pressure chamber having an inlet and an outlet, said inlet structured for connection to a fluid pressure source and said outlet structured for a fluid communicating connection with the retaining cuff, control circuitry connected to said housing and operatively associated with a pressure sensor, said pressure sensor disposed in fluid communication with said pressure chamber, said pressure sensor further disposed and structured to concurrently monitor pressure within the retaining cuff and said pressure chamber, said pressure sensor and the retaining cuff being in fluid communication with one another, and said fluid communicating connection structured to concurrently establish a substantially common pressures in said pressure chamber and the retaining cuff concurrent to maintenance of said fluid communicating connection.
