An apparatus and method for direct drug infusion from a vial to a patient are provided. A movable hanger label is provided to adhere to and support the vial to facilitate direct infusion of a drug, such as one or more pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, and/or biologics, from the vial to the patient. Additionally, a process is provided in which the drug, contained in the vial with the movable hanger label, may be directly infused through a primed infusion line with a rapid infusion rate. A saline flush is incorporated at the end of the administration to flush the infusion line, resulting in a reduced amount of the drug remaining in the line.

A fluidic group couplable to a first container adapted to contain a drug and a second container adapted to contain an ingredient, comprising: a syringe comprising a movable piston defining a chamber having a variable volume; a first and a second coupling group selectively fixable to the second and, respectively, to the first container; a forking element having a first, a second and a third inlet in fluid communication with each other and, respectively, with the first coupling group, with the second coupling group and with the chamber; a first one-way valve interposed between the first coupling group and the forking element and controllable to allow the passage of the ingredient from the second container to the chamber; and a second one-way valve interposed between the second coupling group and the forking element and controllable to allow the passage of the ingredient from the chamber to the first container.

A portable feeding bag holder for an enteral feeding bag is provided. The portable feeding bag holder includes a planar base having upper and lower surfaces. A cradle for receiving an enteral pump is disposed on the upper surface of the base. A frame extends upwardly from the base. A transverse bracket member extends across the frame and is spaced from the base. The bracket member includes a support including at least one receiver for suspending an enteral feeding bag therefrom. A handle is disposed at a distal end of the frame opposite the base. A method of transporting an enteral feeding bag is also provided.

A mounting apparatus for moveably securing equipment to a patient transport system, the mounting apparatus comprising: a first arm having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis, and configured to support equipment; and a clamping system attachable to the patient transport system and configured to receive the proximal end of the first arm for removeably attaching the first arm to the patient transport system and for allowing a rotation of the first arm relative to the patient transport system between an upright position and a reclined position.

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.

The drip monitoring system comprises a weighing device to weigh a carrying weight. The weighing device includes a gravity sensor to sense a motion data of the weighing device. The processing element gathers the carrying weight to compare with an empty weight. The processing element gathers the motion data of the weighing device when the carrying weight is less than the empty weight. The processing element determines whether the weighing device is in a calibration orientation or not according to the motion data. When the weighing device is in the calibration orientation, the processing element controls the weighing device to perform a return to zero calibration process.

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 motorized lifting and transfer chair includes a base having a front portion and an opposing rear portion, where the rear portion has a pair of foot rests. The chair also includes a plurality of wheels mounted to the base configured to be selectively locked, and a vertical post assembly secured proximate to the rear portion of the base and extending upwards from the base. In addition, the chair includes a seating platform cantilevered from the vertical post assembly, where the seating platform comprises two portions with an aperture formed along two adjacent edges of the two portions and the two portions are configured to swing open and closed about the vertical post assembly. The chair includes a motorized device that raises and lowers the seating platform, and a latch is configured to secure the two portions of the seating platform closed.

A portable IV pole assembly for holding one or more IV bags and/or an IV pump includes a pole, with a telescoping portion in an upper portion of the pole. The portable IV pole assembly further includes a portable base, with a lower portion of the pole mounted to the portable base, and a first transverse member at the upper portion of the pole, A second transverse member is mounted to the telescoping portion of the pole, with each of the first and second transverse members having a plurality of IV bag supports, and with the IV bag supports of the second transverse member being offset horizontally from the IV bag supports of the first transverse member wherein the IV bag supports of the first transverse member and the second transverse member are accessible for supporting IV bags regardless of whether the second transverse member is raised or lowered.
