A device houses a lyophilized drug that is to be reconstituted and administered to a patient that has a disease. The device has a transparent cylinder that has a volume of at least 250 mL and that is configured to house the lyophilized drug. The cylinder has a first end that has a first spike, and the first end is opposite a second end that has a port. The first spike is configured to pierce an IV fluid bag and to form a fluid connection between the cylinder and the IV fluid bag. The port is configured to be pierced by a second spike that is part of a tubing, thereby forming a fluid connection between the cylinder and the tubing. At least a portion of the volume of the cylinder is occupied by at least 5 grams of the lyophilized drug.

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).

A device for extracorporeal blood treatment, in particular a dialysis device, including an internal fluidic system for a treatment liquid, in particular for a dialysis liquid, the internal fluidic system having at least two liquid connectors for connecting a substantially cylindrical filter element, in particular a dialyzer, to the internal fluidic system for passing a treatment liquid through the filter element, and including a mounting for exchangeably holding the filter element in such a way that the filter element can be connected to the liquid connectors of the internal fluidic system and to an extracorporeal blood line in an intended manner, wherein the mounting for holding the filter element is designed in such a way that a cylinder longitudinal axis of the filter element is substantially horizontally aligned.

Fluid supply systems and methods for therapeutic fluid delivery systems, including those used for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) systems and methods.

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.

An administration device that includes a hermetic container closed by a cap, containing a radiopharmaceutical medicament, and provided with a protective shield made of a radiopaque material. The device includes a support provided with attachment structure. The container is removably attached to the support in a position allowing access to the cap. The support includes a baseplate provided with an opening allowing access to the cap. A cover and rods connect the baseplate and the cover.

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 bottle holder for a syringe includes a stop surface, a piercing hollow spike protruding beyond the stop surface, a guideway, and a first and a second clamping element. Each clamping element includes a through-hole and is moveable back and forth between an insertion position and a clamping position. When the clamping elements are in the insertion position, a neck of the bottle can be moved through the through-holes until the front end of the bottle abuts against the stop surface such that the piercing hollow spike pierces a film at the front end of the bottle. At least one of the clamping elements in its clamping position presses against the neck of the bottle in order to clamp the bottle in the holder.
