An injection system is proposed which comprises at least one supply station for supplying a medical fluid to be injected into a patient's vasculature, a pressurizing unit comprising a motor for pressurizing said medical fluid, a delivery arrangement in fluid communication with the at least one supply station and a patient set assembly in fluid communication with the delivery arrangement. The patient set assembly comprises a delivery tube for delivering the pressurized fluid to the patient and a peristaltic pump component comprising a casing which includes an inlet port and an exit port, the inlet port being in fluid communication with the delivery arrangement and the exit port being in fluid communication with the delivery tube. According to an embodiment of the present invention, in proximity of the inlet port, the casing of the peristaltic pump component has a substantially U-shaped configuration. The present invention also relates to a patient set assembly and to a peristaltic pump component.

A flow path sealing structure according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, which is disposed on a way of a flow path formed by fusion bonding a pair of resin sheets that are superimposed on each other, includes a widened portion surrounded by a widened seal portion formed by fusion bonding together the pair of resin sheets around a periphery thereof, and one end and another end of which are in communication with the flow path, together with being formed to be wider than the flow path, and a weakly sealed portion formed to extend in a widthwise direction in the widened portion, and which partitions the widened portion in a liquid-tight and airtight manner into the one end and the other end, together with being capable of being opened by increasing an internal pressure of the widened portion.

Disclosed is a system for administrating fluids to a patient, such as an infant. The system comprises a container that defines a drip chamber, a source of nutritive fluid fluidically communicating with the drip chamber, and a tube connecting the drip chamber to the gastric cavity of a patient, the chamber including a membrane that is gas-permeable but that is resistant to fluid passage. The system allows fluids to be introduced to the patient and for gastric gases to be released while they are resistant to the leak and spillage.

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.

Module for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a portable digital camera and processing circuitry with machine vision and machine learning software for automatically documenting healthcare events and healthcare equipment operations in the electronic health record.

A dispenser includes a container with an endwall and a cap covering the endwall. The cap has an aperture and a first film covering the aperture. A hood over the cap has a barrel defining a bore which is coaxially aligned with the aperture, a second film sealing the bore, and a gasket compressed behind the second film. A spike is carried for movement in the barrel between retracted and advanced positions. The dispenser has first and second conditions. In the first condition, the first and second films are against each other and seal the aperture and barrel, and in the second condition, the first and second films are away, unsealing the aperture and the barrel. When the dispenser is in the second condition and the spike moves from the retracted position to the advanced position, the spike pierces the endwall.

A “clip-on” flow controller for IV lines automatically controls flow rate over a range of pressures through a self-contained valve and flow sensor. By eliminating a pump, a lightweight system with a long operating life can be produced, as well as a system that can be self-supported on the IV line yet still provide institutional-level flow accuracy without accurate elevation of the IV bag or careful monitoring.

A check valve includes a housing that includes an inlet port, an outlet port, and a valve chamber. The inlet port extends from a ceiling of the valve chamber to an outer surface of the housing. The outlet port extends from a floor of the valve chamber to the outer surface of the housing. The check valve further includes a valve member supported within the chamber. The valve includes a valve head. When an upstream pressure is applied to the valve, the valve head is configured to deflect away from the ceiling of the valve chamber and unseal the inlet port. When a downstream pressure is applied to the valve, the valve head is configured to deflect away from the floor of the valve chamber and seal the inlet port such that the valve head conforms to a shape of the ceiling of the valve chamber.

A clamp apparatus is disclosed that includes a body, first and second actuators, first, second, third and fourth gear sets, first and second movable grippers, and at least one leaf spring. The first gear set is coupled to the first actuator and the second gear set is coupled to the second actuator. The first gear set engages the second gear set. The first and second movable grippers are each operatively coupled to the body. The third gear set is coupled to the first movable gripper and the fourth gear set is coupled to the second movable gripper. The third gear set operatively engages the fourth gear set. The leaf spring engages with the third gear set and the fourth gear set to urge the first movable gripper and the second movable gripper toward a clamped position.

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.
