Provided herein is a system for sequential delivery of therapeutic compositions, including a first fluid source and a second fluid source, one or more first sensors associated with each of the first fluid source and the second fluid source, an actuator-actuated valve, and a processor in communication with the one or more sensors, wherein the processor is programmed or configured to control, based on data received from the one or more sensors, the actuator-actuated valve to stop and/or cause delivery of therapeutic compositions from the fluid sources.

A pump for pumping fluid includes a tube platen, a plunger, a bias member, inlet and outlet valves, an actuator mechanism, a position sensor, and a processor. The plunger is configured for actuation toward and away from the infusion-tube when the tube platen is disposed opposite to the plunger. The tube platen can hold an intravenous infusion tube. The bias member is configured to urge the plunger toward the tube platen.

A hospital bed rail attachment apparatus constructed of molded silicone or another form of elastomeric substance. An embodiment of the present disclosure includes an elongated member having a first appendage, a second appendage, and a central portion extending between the first appendage and the second appendage. The first appendage may include a first protrusion and a first receiving portion being configured to receive the first protrusion. The second appendage may include a second protrusion and a second receiving portion being configured to receive the second protrusion. Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a pair of elongated members being configured to be selectively coupled to a container at a first end and a hospital bed rail at a second end.

A system for electronic patient care includes a hub. The hub is configured to monitor a patient-care device. The sandbox may be configured to control access to at least one of a hardware resource and a software resource. The hub is further configured to identify the patient-care device and execute an application to monitor the patient-care device. The hub executes the application within the sandbox component such that the application accesses the at least one of the hardware resource and the software resource through the sandbox component. The hub may be further configured to control the patient-care device. The hub may be further configured to receive an identification from the patient-care device and download the application from a server associated with the identification. The hub may be further configured to receive an identification from the patient-care device and update the application from a server associated with the identification.

A device and a method facilitate connecting a vial to a container or to a fluid, line, and transferring the contents of the vial to the container or to the fluid line. The device has a connecting device, a first holder for accommodating the connecting device, a second holder for accommodating the vial, and an actuating means. The connecting device includes an annular housing, an inside part having at least one puncture device, and a tube connection. The annular housing is configured to be rotatable about the inside part so as to function as a valve, so that by rotation of the annular housing, flow paths of the connecting device can be opened and closed.

A handle configured to be mounted on a pole (e.g., of an IV stand). The handle includes a handle grip having first and second ends with a central section therebetween. The central section is lower than the first and second ends. The handle grip is configured to be gripped by a user at a location between the central section and one of the first and second ends. The handle grip may include first and second sections that each extend upwardly from a central section. The first section is configured to be gripped at a natural grip angle by the user's a right hand and the second section is configured to be gripped at the natural grip angle by the user's a left hand. The handle may include a connector portion configured to be mounted to the pole and connected to the handle grip.

An intravenous (IV) pole assembly includes a non-conductive support element, distribution rails respectively disposed along a length of the non-conductive support element and a clamping element. The distribution rails are respectively configured for power distribution along the length of the non-conductive support element. The clamping element includes a hinged clamp, which is attachable to the non-conductive support element at an attachment point defined along the length of the non-conductive support element, and a connector by which power is selectively transmittable from the distribution rails to a powered device supportable on the hinged clamp.

A solution for injecting one or more fluids into a patient is proposed. A corresponding injection system (200;700) comprises one or more supply stations (105a; 105b) each one for supplying one of the fluids to be injected, wherein at least one of the supply stations (105a; 105b) comprises a bottle holder (115a; 115b) for holding a bottle (110a; 110b) containing the fluid to be injected, the bottle holder (115a; 115b) comprising a first connector (415;1135), and a cover (120a; 120b) for covering the bottle (110a; 110b) when held on the bottle holder (115a; 115b), the cover (120a; 120b) comprising a second connector (420) for mating with the first connector (415;1135) to mount the cover (120a; 120b) on the bottle holder (115a; 115b); said at least one supply station (105a; 105b) further comprises a bag holder (205a;205b) for holding a bag (605) containing the fluid to be injected, the bag holder (205a;205b) comprising a further second connector (425) for mating with the first connector (415;1135) to mount the bag holder (205a;205b) on the bottle holder (115a; 115b) and a further first connector (430) for mating with the second connector (420) to mount the cover (120a; 120b) on the bag holder (205a;205b).

An intravenous (IV) pole assembly includes a non-conductive support element, distribution rails respectively disposed along a length of the non-conductive support element and a clamping element. The distribution rails are respectively configured for power distribution along the length of the non-conductive support element. The clamping element includes a hinged clamp, which is attachable to the non-conductive support element at an attachment point defined along the length of the non-conductive support element, and a connector by which power is selectively transmittable from the distribution rails to a powered device supportable on the hinged clamp.
