Described is a priming device to prime a gas from a fluid delivery system by receiving the gas and a fluid used to push the gas into a chamber, the priming device including a housing having a chamber, an inlet port, and an opening to release gas received into the chamber. The device further includes a sleeve having an open first end for coupling with a male luer connector, a second end coupled to the housing, and an axis between the first and second ends. The sleeve defines at least one window. The device further includes an arm extending from a bottom of each window toward the first end, and a member extending radially from an inner surface of each arm. Each member has a ramp surface, an engagement surface extending transversely to the ramp surface, and an apex area that transitions between the ramp surface and the engagement surface.

A liquid medication injection device includes a housing having an opening on one side thereof, a sealing part disposed inside the housing and covering the opening, a storage container disposed inside the housing and storing liquid medication, and an injection needle which is connected to the storage container and through which the liquid medication is injected via the sealing part.

A device for coupling to a fluid connector of an IV administration set to resist contamination of the fluid connector and IV administration set and permit priming of the IV administration set. The device including a cover body having a cavity for receiving the fluid connector, a priming passage for priming fluid from the IV administration set through the fluid connector, and a coupling tab extending from the cover body, the coupling tab permitting the cover body to be coupled to a length of an IV line or other portion of the IV administration set to resist contamination and permit priming of the IV administration set.

Described is a priming device to prime a gas from a fluid delivery system by receiving the gas and a fluid used to push the gas into a chamber, the priming device including a housing having a chamber, an inlet port, and an opening to release gas received into the chamber. The device further includes a valve extending from the inlet port toward the chamber and a cover body comprising one or more flexible protrusions extending axially inward from an inner surface of the cover body. The cover body has an open first end, an open second end, and an axis between the first end and the second end, the first end configured to couple with a male luer connector, the second end configured to couple with the inlet port of the housing, wherein the cover body is moveable relative to the housing.

A flow restriction device may include a distal end configured to couple to a catheter assembly, a proximal end configured to couple to a fluid collection device, and a body extending from the proximal end to the distal end. The body may include an outer surface and an inner surface defining a lumen of the body. The flow restriction device may further include a fluid pathway disposed between the distal end and the proximal end when the outer surface is coupled within a mating luer. The fluid pathway may include a non-linear portion on at least a portion of the outer surface along which a fluid flows from the distal end into the fluid collection device.

A protective membrane for a medical luer connector may include a cover having an upper surface, a lower surface having a mating portion for coupling to a mating surface of the medical luer connector, and an outer perimetal surface. The protective membrane may further include a flexible pull tab extending from the outer perimetal surface of the cover, and an adhesive overlaying the mating portion of the lower surface for adhering to the mating surface of the medical luer connector.

A flushing apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a main body configured to connect a connection pipe for guiding a hazardous medicinal liquid harmful to a human body when exposed to an ambient air and a patient connection module for injecting the hazardous medicinal liquid into a patient, the main body configured to form a first flow path for guiding the hazardous medicinal liquid from the connection pipe to the patient connection module, the main body including a flushing portion forming a second flow path connected to a predetermined connection point located between both ends of the first flow path; and a flow rate reduction part disposed at upstream side of the connection point in the first flow path and configured to reduce a flow rate of the hazardous medicinal liquid flowing through the first flow path. The present disclosure shows various embodiments of the flushing apparatus.

A medical connector that allows ventilation of vapor used in vapor sterilization and has an internal flow route that is tightly closable without using any separate clamping device. A medical connector includes a body having an internal flow route connected to an other flow route, proximal portions included in the body and having respective one-side connection ports at which the internal flow route is connectable to the one flow route, a distal portion having an other-side connection port at which the internal flow route is connectable to the other flow route, one-side lid portion, and an other-side lid portion whose state is switchable between a closing state and a ventilating state in which the other-side lid portion covers the other-side connection port such that ventilation is allowed.

The disclosed cap for attachment to a medical implement having a male protrusion includes a movable plunger and a depth stop for limiting the translational movement of the plunger. Typically, the cap will include a cleaning solution that is displaced by the movable plunger. The depth stop controls of the displacement of the plunger such that a consistent air-tight seal is made between the surface of the plunger and a surface of the male luer.

Apparatuses for priming a drip chamber of an infusion tube seta are described. A priming apparatus may be incorporated into a cavity of a body, such as a drip chamber cap, that is attached to or integrally formed with the inlet side of drip chamber. The priming apparatus includes a closure mechanism at least a portion of which is accommodated in a cavity in the body. The cavity is part of an outflow or vent passage through the body (e.g., the drip chamber cap) and the closure mechanism is operable, e.g., responsive to user force, to selectively open the outflow passage, thereby unsealing the vent cavity to ambient air and allowing air to be purged from the fluid system during priming of the drip chamber. When the closure mechanism is an closed position, the outflow passage and vent cavity as sealed from ambient air, preventing any air from passing into the fluid system through the cap.
