A liquid meter assembly for collecting, metering and monitoring liquid is disclosed. The assembly comprises a container for collecting the liquid, an electrically powered strain gauge suspension device for supporting the container and for determining the weight of the liquid collected in the container and a handle on the container for interconnecting with the strain gauge suspension device. A length of tubing is attached to the container and adapted for interconnecting with the source of the liquid. A tubing support system is included on the strain gauge suspension device for fixedly supporting the tubing to substantially inhibit influence on weight determination due to any movement thereon. A power supply is included in the assembly for supplying power to the strain gauge suspension device.

An air-filled mattress with virtually no air loss has a plurality of air-filled bags grouped into zones of uniform air pressure. A controller monitors the air pressure in each zone and activates a blower to adjust the pressure in any zone in which the measured pressure differs from the desired pressure by more than a threshold amount. The blower is otherwise deactivated. The bags are deflated by reversing the direction of flow from the bags to the blower. The bags are fastened to a mattress base using an attachment fitting that receives an elongated bead on the bag's bottom edge into a chamber along the mattress base fitting. The mattress base can be attached to any of a variety of different conventional bed frames. Tabs fastened to the mattress base having a hinge and a hand malleable aluminum plate can be bent to grasp a variety of different bed frames. A unique air manifold between the blower and the bags, a unique hose coupling between the blower and the manifold and a unique air coupling between the manifold and the bags are also described.

An epidural filter for connecting intermediate a syringe and an epidural cannula has a two-part housing formed with an inlet and an outlet. Within the housing a filter membrane is supported, parallel with the direction of fluid flow through the filter, by struts located on opposite sides of the membrane. Fluid is supplied to the filter from the syringe via a female Luer-tapered bore and distributed over the filter membrane along a channel and passages between the struts. The filter has an outlet coupling comprising a nose, having a bore, around which extends a screw-threaded collar. A clamping head is screwed into the collar about the nose so that the nose bears on a resilient bush contained within the head. The bush has a bore which receives the cannula so that when the clamping head is screwed onto the housing it forms a fluid-tight seal between the cannula and the housing.
