A trap bowl is provided to accumulate liquid droplets from a filter, as a liquid content. The trap bowl includes a transparent vertical prism. The transparent vertical prism includes a face that forms a vertical transparent surface facing against a content of the section. The face can provide a first angle of total reflection when content of the section is a type of gas, and a second angle of total reflection when the content of the section is the liquid content. A light source may emit a light beam incident on the face at an angle of incidence. The angle of incidence results in reflection of the light beam, striking the light receiver, when the face has the first angle of total reflection, and results in refraction of the light beam, missing the light receiver, when the face has the second angle of total reflection.

A device for administering needle-free subcutaneous treatment to a patient comprises an actuator configured to deliver a plurality of volumes of a treatment at a plurality of locations on a body of the patient; at least one imaging device configured to detect a movement of the needle-free device from a first location on the body of the patient to a second location on the body of the patient; and a processor configured to determine the second location on the body of the device relative to the first location from the movement of the needle-free device relative to the first location on the body, the processor further configured to determine a volume of the plurality of volumes of the treatment to deliver to the body of the patient at the second location.

A system for confirmation of fluid delivery to a patient at the clinical point of use is provided. The system includes a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device has a housing; at least one imaging sensor associated with the housing; a data transmission interface; a data reporting accessory for providing data to the user; a microprocessor for managing the at least one imaging sensor, the data transmission interface, and the data reporting accessory; and a program for acquiring and processing images from the at least one imaging sensor. The system further includes a fluid delivery apparatus; and one or more identification tags attached to or integrally formed with the fluid delivery apparatus. The program processes an image captured by the at least one imaging sensor to identify the one or more identification tags and acquires fluid delivery apparatus information from the one or more identification tags.

A semi-automated veterinary medicine delivery device may sense whether and how much air may have been incorporated into a dose delivered to an animal. The device may also sense an incomplete injection in some cases and may cause a second dose to be administered to make up for the incomplete dose. The device may compare a position sensor on a syringe in combination with a current sensor on a motor attached to the syringe to detect any abnormalities. In the case of an improper dose, the device may alert the user and administer a second dose.

A system for securely accessing a fluid injection system is disclosed. The system includes at least one processor programmed or configured to authenticate a user for access to an fluid injection system, provide data identifying one or more features of a software application for accessing the fluid injection system, receive data identifying a selected feature of the software application for accessing the fluid injection system, and provide access to the selected feature of the software application for accessing the fluid injection system.

A surgical fluid management system includes a console defining a cassette bay and a cassette, including a fluid line extending therethrough, configured for insertion into the cassette bay of the console. The console includes a sensor disposed adjacent the cassette bay configured to detect a position of the cassette relative to the cassette bay to enable selective locking or unlocking of the cassette within the cassette bay. Additionally or alternatively, the console includes cassette bay electronics configured to obtain encoded information from the cassette.

A computing device comprises a memory and a data interface for connecting to a corresponding interface in a storage assembly. The memory comprises instructions which, on connection with the storage assembly, cause a processor of the storage assembly to: detect, using a device sensor of the storage assembly, one or more medicament delivery devices stored in the storage assembly; and display, on a display screen provided on the storage assembly, information relating to a medicament stored in the storage assembly.

A device for converting a consumable into an aerosol with high heat without burning the consumable by packaging the consumable around a susceptor for inductive heating so as to reduce the oxygen content within the consumable. The susceptor can be a flattened piece of steel wool. The encasement can be a coating applied to the consumable can be packaging inside an encasement through which the aerosol can pass. Efficiency of the to create a porous shell. The device can have a receiver with an airtight seal and an airflow controller to optimize the aerosolizing process. The device can also have a recognition system to detect a sign on the consumable-containing package an execute the appropriate administration protocol.

A smart syringe system and method are provided. The system includes a smart syringe and an external device. The syringe obtains data of a dose administered to a patient and wirelessly transmit the data to the external device. Alternately, the external device obtains the data via an image of the syringe. The external device may execute an application configured to process the data and display information of the dose.

Methods and apparatus to reduce deadspace in syringes and other devices with the use of volume displacing members that occupy space within one or more interior spaces of such devices. The volume displacing members are also equipped with one or more internal flow passages that facilitate a flow of a fluid through it. The volume displacing members are also adapted to cooperate with features of the devices that house them to form air-tight and liquid-tight seals that at least partially determine a fluid pathway through the devices.
