An apparatus and methods for tracking administering of medication by syringes is provided. The apparatus may include a plunger head for a syringe. The plunger head may include a transducer that sends and receives ultrasonic signals. The plunger may also include an antenna and a microcontroller that interfaces with the transducer and the antenna. The plunger may also include a power source that powers the microcontroller and the transducer. The transducer, the antenna, the microcontroller, and the power source may be at least partially encapsulated in an elastomer housing that fits within a barrel of the syringe. The microcontroller may be programmed with instructions to calculate data representative of the quantity of medication dispensed from the barrel and transmit the data to a remote device via the antenna.

Systems and methods for real-time optoelectronic assessments of fluid volume and other fluid properties in fluid dispensing systems are described. The systems and methods include the use of optoelectronic and software algorithms to aid in the determination of fluid volume and other fluid properties, before, during and/or after the fluid dispensing process. The systems and methods described herein allow the fluid dispensing system and its user to have a feedback of real-time data about the dispensing fluid volume and other fluid properties and hence would improve the control, speed and quality of the fluid dispensing system and its dispensed fluid.

A highly accurate and efficient syringe with a valve in a housing has a hollow syringe with a barrel and a hollow tip, a port on the side of the barrel near the hollow tip, and a valve connected to the barrel by the housing, which has a mouth connected to the barrel and a bottle cap suitable for securing to a bottle. The valve is in fluid communication with the barrel through the port and in fluid communication with a bottle of chemicals through the bottle cap end of the housing. The syringe with a valve in a housing is adapted to precisely draw and measure chemicals from a bottle and to precisely dispense the chemicals without spills or drips.

A fluid dispenser having a casing (E) provided with a dispenser head (11); and a refill cartridge (C) that includes a fluid reservoir (R). The refill cartridge (C) is axially insertable into the casing (E) in such a manner as to connect the fluid reservoir (R) to the dispenser head (11). The refill cartridge (C) and the casing (E) are provided with a connection mechanism (17, 253) that connects the refill cartridge (C) in the casing (E) by screw-fastening, so as to bring the fluid reservoir (R) into leaktight contact with the dispenser head (11). The movement, after screw-fastening, of the refill cartridge (C) in the casing (E) towards the dispenser head (11) delivers the fluid to the dispenser head (11).

In one embodiment there is provided a bottle assembly to dispense a liquid. The assembly includes a bottle, a syringe, a cap and collar. The assembly includes a child-resistant adult-friendly retaining portion to permit the removal of the cap and collar. The syringe is configured to draw liquid from the bottle at a precise dosage and then when the cap and collar is removed the user can expel the liquid.

A liquid supply apparatus includes: a chamber configured to contain a liquid; an injector disposed on a first side of the chamber and configured to spray the liquid; and a piston extending from a second side of the chamber toward an interior of the chamber, wherein the chamber includes a first area configured to store the liquid; and a second area between the first area and the injector, and wherein the piston is configured to selectively seal or transfer the liquid between the first area and the second area, and press the liquid in the second area to expel the liquid from the liquid supply apparatus.

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.

A device for measuring and regulating a volume of a fluid dispensed by a time-pressure dispenser, the device comprising: an adaptor for releasably coupling a syringe to the device, the syringe containing a fluid to be dispensed; a probe configured to be coupled with a piston of the syringe, the piston being operative to apply a pressure for ejecting the fluid from the syringe upon the application of an air pressure to the piston; and a displacement detector operative in use to determine a position of the probe so as to determine a position of the piston when dispensing the fluid, whereby to regulate the volume of the fluid dispensed from the syringe.

A sensor module is disclosed. The sensor module can include a housing body that is disposed about a cavity that is sized and shaped to receive a container in which a substance is disposed in an operational configuration of the sensor module. The sensor module can include a first electrode that is coupled to or formed with the housing body. The first electrode is disposed at a first peripheral position on the housing body. The sensor module can include a second electrode that is coupled to or formed with the housing body. The second electrode is disposed at a second peripheral position on the housing body that is opposite the first peripheral position. The cavity is disposed between the first and second electrodes in the operational configuration of the housing body.
