The systems and methods of the present disclosure provides an independent passive variable resistor that can be interposed between a fluid reservoir at an inlet pressure and receptacle at an outlet pressure. The resistor can adjust resistance to the pressure difference from the input to the output so that the flow rate through it is a constant rate. The resistor can include a moveable element and a biasing mechanism located in a chamber to create a flow channel. Each side of the moveable element is exposed to the inlet and outlet pressures and moves within the flow channel to modify the resistance of the flow through the chamber in response to the pressures. The balance of these forces determines the position moveable element, which interacts with the fluid channel to determine the flow resistance through variable resistor. The biasing mechanism can provide the necessary pressure to establish equilibrium flow rate.

The invention relates to a bottle holder (1) for an injection or infusion device, with a bottle receiver (2) for receiving a storage bottle, and with a spike secured on the bottle holder (1) for the purpose of punching an outlet opening into the storage bottle, or a holding means (3) for applying an exchangeable spike (4). In a development of such a bottle holder with which the infusion or injection device can be equipped as easily and as quickly as possible with a filled storage bottle, the invention proposes that the bottle receiver (2) is movable with respect to the spike (4) or with respect to the holding means (3) for the spike (4), and, when the bottle receiver (2) moves in the direction of the spike (4), a storage bottle arranged in the bottle receiver (2) is placed onto the spike (4) in such a way that the spike (4) punches an outlet opening into the storage bottle.

An apparatus support, intended for fastening a mobile medical apparatus such as a defibrillator, an oxygen apparatus, a ventilator, a monitor, an infusion apparatus, an inhalation apparatus, an electrocardiograph, a transfusion pump, a life support system, an extracorporeal system, and a heart-lung machine, has a wall holder and a mounting plate. In the intended mounting state, the apparatus is oriented at least substantially or exactly horizontally and has upper and lower faces and side edges. The mounting plate has a fastening device for fastening a medical apparatus that is to be arranged on the upper face, and a damping device via which the mounting plate is fixed on the wall holder. The invention further relates to a medical assembly having such an apparatus support and having a medical apparatus as described above.

An automated dose-response record system including a module for housing waste-heat producing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including at least one physiologic monitor, and including a system to measure, temporally correlate and record dose and response events.

A pump clip and a fluid infusion device system, in which the pump clip includes a mount to be connectable to a fluid infusion device, and a base coupled to the mount. The base is pivotable relative to the mount about a first pivot axis. The pump clip includes a clip coupled to the base. The clip is pivotable relative to the base about a second pivot axis, and the clip defines at least one tube clamp to receive a tube associated with the fluid infusion device.

An intravenous (IV) fluid monitoring system and method are provided to facilitate notification that a replacement IV fluid bag should be prepared. In this regard, an IV fluid monitoring system includes a bag sensing element carried by an IV fluid bag. The IV fluid monitoring system further includes first and second sensing elements positioned on opposite sides of the IV fluid bag and configured to interact with the bag sensing element. The first and second sensing elements are physically separate from the IV fluid bag. The bag sensing element and the first and second elements are positioned such that a line of sight between at least the first sensing element and the bag sensing element extends through the IV fluid within the IV fluid bag while the IV fluid bag is in a filled state. A method and apparatus are also provided to facilitate preparation of an IV fluid bag.

A number of racks which are configured to allow a number of devices to couple thereto are provided. In some embodiments, the racks are for use with a number of medical devices. Devices may be coupled to a rack by clamps. The racks may include a number of connectors which provide power and/or a network connection to devices coupled thereto. The racks may include a clamp which allows the racks to couple to a supporting structure such as a pole.

A system, method and device for determining a volume of a fluid in a medication container is disclosed. An infusion of a medication is initiated from a medication container. The medication container includes one or more radio frequency identification (RFID) tags affixed along a side of the container. A radio frequency (RF) signal is directed from a reader device toward the RFID tags disposed on the medication container. A signal strength of one or more returned respective RF signals from the one or more RFID tags is detected, the returned RF signals including one or more identifiers for identifying the one or more RFID tags. A threshold signal level for determining a level of fluid within the medication container is determined, and a volume of the fluid is then determined by determining which of the returned respective RF signals has a signal strength satisfying the threshold signal level.
