Priming systems and infusion assemblies are provided. For example, a priming system comprises a priming conduit having a priming portion and a pressure portion. The priming portion is in fluid communication with a first fluid source, with an inlet and an outlet for ingress and egress of a first fluid from the first fluid source. The pressure portion is in fluid communication with a second fluid source connected by a connector. Disposed within the priming conduit are a biasing member and a valve having an open position and a closed position. The biasing member is in operable communication with the valve to urge the valve into the closed position such that the valve defaults to the closed position. The open position allows the first fluid to flow from the inlet to the outlet and the closed position prevents the first fluid from flowing from the inlet to the outlet.

This invention relates to a multi-lumen flushable catheter device and a kit including this device. The multi-lumen catheter is made of a single lumen catheter in fluid connection with a multi-lumen catheter. The multi-lumen catheter includes a fluid lumen and a backflow connection lumen; wherein the fluid lumen and a backflow connection lumen are in fluid communication; a pressure control lumen made of a proximal port to receive a fluid such as air or a liquid and a distal balloon, the distal balloon is configured to block the single lumen catheter to prevent fluid flow into the single lumen catheter, wherein the pressure control lumen is not in fluid connection with the central lumen of the multi-lumen catheter. This device allows cleaning of in dwelling catheter in situ.

A medical device includes a first valve and a second valve. The first valve includes a manifold having a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening, and an element movable within the manifold and spring-biased to close the first opening. When biased to close the first opening, air flows from the second opening to the third opening. The second valve is configured to provide a flow of pressurized gas to the first valve to move the element to close the third opening. The first valve and the second valve are configured, upon moving the element to close the third opening, to interrupt the flow of air from the second opening to the third opening and to allow the flow of the pressurized gas to exit the second opening.

Fluid management systems are disclosed that include software-controlled, electro-mechanical devices used in combination with single-use or multi-use tubing sets. Functions of the fluid management systems can include fluid pressurization, fluid warming, fluid deficit monitoring (including flow-based and weight-based), suction, fluid collection, and fluid evacuation (including indirect-to-drain and direct-to-drain options). The systems can be configured based on the surgical environment (e.g., operating room or physician office) as well as other user needs and/or preferences.

The invention relates to a blocking and/or restricting valve having a valve housing which has a fluid system having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet and a fluid chamber arranged therebetween, wherein the fluid chamber comprises a blocking geometry and is bounded by a barrier membrane with respect to the blocking geometry, wherein the barrier membrane is connected to a tappet on its side remote from the fluid chamber (8) such that it can be pressed toward the blocking geometry by a movement of the tappet and can be lifted thereby, and wherein the tappet is arranged in a freely floating manner in a hollow space of the valve housing.
