Modular intravenous (IV) assemblies are provided. The modular IV assembly includes a drip chamber having a body and an inlet connector, a base housing coupled directly to a base portion of the drip chamber, the base housing having an inlet port in fluid connection with the drip chamber and a flow path cavity in fluid connection with the inlet port and a flow control assembly coupled directly to a first portion of the base housing. Any of a filter assembly, an anti-run dry member, a check valve and an air vent assembly may be included in the modular IV assembly. IV sets and methods of use are also provided.

SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR FLUID INFUSION

In some embodiments, a system can include a fluid delivery assembly and a drive assembly. The fluid delivery assembly is configured to be releasably mechanically and, optionally, electrically coupled to the drive assembly. When the fluid delivery assembly is releasably coupled to the drive assembly, the drive assembly can control delivery of fluid from the fluid delivery assembly (e.g., to a patient). For example, the drive assembly can be releasably coupled to the fluid delivery assembly to control delivery of fluid from the fluid delivery assembly to provide continuous (e.g., non-pulsatile) fluid flow from the fluid delivery assembly.

OVERMOLDED CONNECTORS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
20230140392 · 2023-05-04 ·

A fluid connection assembly that includes a plurality of tubes having a first open end and a second open end opposite the first open end and a plurality of connectors. Each of the connectors include at least two connector portions, in which each of the at least two connector portions extend from a center of the connector and have a first end connected to the center of the connector and a second end connected to the second open end of one of the plurality of tubes. The connector portions are continuously formed with the tube and the center of the connector and the connector portions are fluidly connected together.

RAPID FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM

A system includes a tubing set and a drive assembly. The tubing set includes inlet tubing couplable to a source of fluid, a valve coupled to the inlet tubing, a syringe coupled to the inlet tubing via the valve, and outlet tubing coupled to the valve. The valve is configured to allow fluid to be drawn from the source of fluid via the inlet tubing into a syringe body of the syringe and to be expelled from the syringe body and through the outlet tubing, and to prevent fluid from being drawn from the outlet tubing into the syringe body and to prevent fluid expelled from the syringe body from flowing through the inlet tubing. The drive assembly is configured to reversibly receive the tubing set such that a drive mechanism is engaged with a plunger of the syringe to reciprocally translate the plunger relative to the syringe body.

CONNECTOR AND MEDICAL DEVICE SET

A connector includes: a male connector portion; a first female connector portion; and a second female connector portion. The connector defines a flow path therein. The male connector portion is shaped to be connectable to a medical device female connector portion that is equal in shape to the first female connector portion. The male connector portion is shaped to not be connectable to a medical device female connector portion that is equal in shape to the second female connector portion.

INFUSION BOX OF INFUSION APPARATUS, INFUSION APPARATUS, AND INFUSION PUMP
20230201456 · 2023-06-29 ·

An infusion cassette of an infusion set is provided with a flow channel, and includes a rigid assembly, elastic membranes and a locking mechanism. The rigid assembly includes a plurality of components stacked onto one another, at least one of the components is provided with a groove, and the elastic membranes are each arranged between two adjacent components to cover the groove in a sealing manner; and the locking mechanism includes a mounting frame and a liquid stop plug fixedly arranged on the mounting frame, and configured to press the elastic membranes to close the flow channel, the locking mechanism closes or opens the flow channel by the liquid stop plug. The mounting frame is movably connected to the rigid assembly, such that the locking mechanism is switched between a closed state in which the flow channel is closed and an open state in which the flow channel is opened.

INFUSION PUMP FOR IDENTIFYING THE COLOR OF A HOSE CLAMP WITH IR MARKERS

A clamping module of or for a medical pump, and a method for identifying a hose clamp of a disposable infusion article insertable into the clamping module. The clamping module includes an electro-optical system for identifying the hose clamp, which has an optical marking. The electro-optical system includes a first light source for emitting at least a first light beam and a second light source for emitting at least a second light beam. The second light source is formed differently than the first light source. A photodetector receives a reflected light, and an optical window bundles the first light beam and/or the second light beam on the disposable infusion article, as well as the reflected light received by the photodetector. The method identifies the hose clamp based on a color and uses a measurement algorithm after insertion of the hose clamp into the medical pump.

DEVICE FOR SUBCUTANEOUS DELIVERY OF FLUID MEDICAMENT

An improved device delivers a fluid medicament to the subcutaneous tissue of a user. The device is better suited for patients with Parkinson's Disease and other central nervous system disorders, than conventional infusion devices. The device can include a reusable part including a drive component (e.g., motor) and control electronics and a disposable part including a medicament reservoir. Medicament can be evacuated from the medicament reservoir by a plunger assembly that includes a plunger attached to a lead screw that is rotated by a nut, all within the disposable part. The device can be fluidically coupled with the tissue via a flexible cannula. Various embodiments relate to an improved cannula insertion mechanism that delivers the cannula under a force applied by a spring. Various embodiments relate to improved filling of the device, for example, using a vial adapter and an automated filling station.
