An apparatus and method for monitoring movements of a patient is provided. If movements of the patient are detected to exceed predetermined thresholds, then a detector assembly determines that a seizure condition is present, and an alarm may be generated. In one arrangement, a sensor assembly includes one or more sound detectors to detect sound cause by patient movement. The detector assembly monitors the movement of the patient for determining if an abnormal movement or seizure condition is present. In another arrangement, an image sensor is used. A detector assembly monitors images produced by the image sensor to determine if the movements exceed predetermined thresholds. Other types of sensors can be used in other arrangements. The sensors can either be placed on a surface common to the patient or they can be attached to the patient.

A boil-in-bag package for the storage and cooking of food items includes an elongated rectangular shaped bag having an inside and an outside wall, a closed top end and an open bottom end. A handle section is adjacent the top end of the bag section, with the handle section having an upper and a lower portion and a first and second side. The upper portion of the handle section includes an opening sized and shaped for receiving a lifting utensil. A sealing/release mechanism is positioned on the handle section and is configured to releaseably close the open bottom end of the elongated bag section contiguous with the handle section thereby forming a U-shaped package configured to allow a through-flow of fluid between the inside walls of the U-shaped package. The sealing/release mechanism is further configured to allow for the release of the open bottom end from the handle section without contacting the elongated bag section.

An apparatus for accurately monitoring motor movements attributable to seizures and convulsions of patients having epilepsy or other seizure disorders, and motor movements attributable to periodic leg movements, tremors, respiration, mechanical cardiac functions, or any other motorics during periods of sleep. This monitoring function is achieved without attaching any detection apparatus to the patient. Embodiments measure patient movements essentially by relating mattress displacement to such motor movements. The preferred embodiment is constructed with a geophone configuration intended to receive an analog signal corresponding to mattress movement and to communicate this signal to an electrically interconnected detection assembly for monitoring and recording the patient's pattern of body movements. Other suitable movement sensing devices such as devices based upon piezoelectric, fiber optics, microwave, infrared, and ultrasound phenomena may be used either in addition to or instead of geophones. The analog signals received by these sensors are then communicated to a computerized detection assembly wherein these signals are converted from waveforms to digital signals for subsequent analysis and remedial medical treatment as appropriate.
