STERILIZATION OF FLUID PATHS IN INJECTION SYSTEM
20170232185 · 2017-08-17 ·

A contrast injector system includes one or more devices for reducing or eliminating risk of cross-patient contamination. In particular, the contrast injector system includes at least one of a sterilization device, vibration device, and illuminator device positioned on a component of the contrast injector system, where the sterilization device, vibration device, and/or illuminator device is in communication with a console of the contrast injector system. The sterilization device has an energy emitter positioned to emit energy to one or more components of the system. The vibration device is positioned on a component of the system so as to induce acoustic vibrations on a surface of such component. The illuminator device includes a light source positioned to illuminate a component of the system.

Unified Drug Mixer And Dispenser

A unified dispenser for holding, mixing, and dispensing a drug includes a housing holding a diluent reservoir, a drug reservoir, and a tubing set connecting and defining a fluid communication path therebetween. A first occlusion is at the diluent reservoir, and a second occlusion is at the drug reservoir. In a storage state of the dispenser, the first and second occlusions are entirely encased within the housing and occlude the fluid communication path. First and second pull assemblies extend outside the housing. The first and second pull assemblies are coupled to the first and second occlusions, respectively, so that removal of the first and second pull assemblies removes the first and second occlusions and joins the diluent reservoir to the drug reservoir in fluid communication through the tubing set, thereby arranging the dispenser from the storage state to a use state.

DRUG-DELIVERY SYSTEMS INCLUDING DRUG-DELIVERY DEVICE ASSEMBLIES FOR ATTACHING TO INFUSION HUBS
20220031936 · 2022-02-03 ·

The present disclosure relates to a drug-delivery device that is attachable to an infusion set hub that has been pre-inserted into a patient's body. The pre-inserted infusion set hub may be configured to deliver a primary drug such as insulin or an insulin analog. The drug-delivery device may deliver a secondary drug such as a glucagon, an NS AID, or another type of insulin or insulin analog through a cannula of the infusion hub.

Mechanical injection pump and method of use
09731067 · 2017-08-15 · ·

A mechanical injection pump wearable by a user to deliver a first fluid and a second fluid, including: a pump body having a first fluid chamber to hold the first fluid and a second fluid chamber to hold the second fluid; a common connector having a first inlet, a second inlet, and a common outlet; a first fluid system including the first fluid chamber, a first button drive connected to the first fluid chamber, and first fluid delivery path between the first fluid chamber and the first inlet; and a second fluid system including the second fluid chamber, a second button drive connected to the second fluid chamber, and second fluid delivery path between the second fluid chamber and the second inlet. Force by the user on the button drive increases pressure within the fluid chamber to drive a predetermined volume of the fluid from the fluid chamber.

Relocation module and methods for surgical equipment

Modules for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a system to measure and record administration of one or more IV medications or fluids for IV administration.

Medical module including automated dose-response record system

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.

Passive restart Y-site
09724464 · 2017-08-08 · ·

A fluid delivery Y-site is described that is configured to receive and control delivery of two or more fluid flows. Fluid flow is controlled within a chamber by a valve and float. Flow of a primary fluid into the chamber is reduced or halted by the movement of a valve. The valve may occlude a first flow port into the chamber in response fluid flowing from a second flow port into the chamber. A float is moveably disposed within the chamber and configured to engage the valve in response a fluid flow into the chamber from the second flow port. As fluid flow from the second flow port into the chamber is reduced or ceases, the valve and float allow the flow from the primary flow port to once again enter the chamber and exit from an outlet port.

Injection apparatus and method for use

An injection apparatus for sequentially injecting a patient with at least two medicaments may include a hand-held unit comprising a grip for being held by an operator, a single needle, a base unit coupled to the hand-held unit via at least one connecting tube, at least two containers for holding medicaments removably coupled to the base unit, and at least one pump. The at least one connecting tube can be flexible enough to enable easy maneuvering of the hand-held unit and rigid enough to prevent widening of the tube due to inner pressure when medicaments pass from the containers to the hand-held unit. The injection apparatus can be used to administer the at least two medicaments sequentially at different injection points.
