A method of making expanded fluoropolymer articles thermally bonds portions of expanded fluoropolymers together, without using an adhesive or crushing force, to produce stronger bonds at the joint between the expanded fluoropolymers than the bonds within the constituent expanded fluoropolymers. The method involves placing the portions of expanded fluoropolymers to be thermally bonded together in intimate contact with each other after wet-stretching the expanded fluoropolymers, and removing the wetting agent used to wet-stretch the expanded fluoropolymers, without subsequent expansion or stretching, to yield an expanded fluoropolymer article exhibiting unexpected and superior properties that can be used in a variety of medical and industrial applications.

To calibrate a differential pressure measurement to a geodetic height difference of (approximately) zero, a reference position determination part is led close up to the blood pressure measuring device where a calibration signal is triggered if a minimum distance is not reached between two respective points defined at the reference position determination part and a blood pressure measuring device. A control device integrated in or connected to the blood pressure measuring device performs the calibration measurement in response to the trigger signal. The triggering means are implemented, e.g., as an RFID tag on the reference position determination part-side and an associated near-field communication reader on the blood pressure measuring device-side. If the near-field communication reader detects the correctly encoded RFID tag in the reference position determination part, it triggers the calibration signal.

Multi-part appliance for non-invasive detection of vital parameters
Disclosed herein is a base device with a pump device for applying pressure to a working fluid and a body contact device that can be detachably coupled to one another. A housing of the base device has a contact surface for the body contact device where the contact surface has a passage which can be closed by means of a closing member of a valve device. A spring is provided for applying spring force to move the closing member into a position that closes the passage. The body contact device has a pressure applicator, which can be acted upon by the working fluid, to apply pressure to the finger and a sealing element for creating a fluid connection with the base device. The body contact device has a deflecting means for deflecting the closing member against the spring force in the operating configuration.

NON-INVASIVE ESTIMATION OF HEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS DURING MECHANICAL VENTILATION
A method for non-invasive determination of a hemodynamic parameter of a mechanically ventilated subject based on a point in time (thb) of a heartbeat of the subject and an arrival point in time (tarr_pulm) at which a blood pressure pulse caused by the heartbeat reaches the lungs of the subject. The method includes the steps of measuring a respiratory pressure and/or a respiratory flow, and determining the arrival point in time (tarr_pulm) from a change in the measured respiratory pressure and/or the respiratory flow resulting from a change in lung volume caused by the arrival of the blood pressure pulse to the lungs of the subject.
