TENSIONED INFUSION SYSTEMS WITH REMOVABLE HUBS
Devices, kits and methods described herein are be used at chronic injection site or in conjunction with an indwelling catheter or cannula. A book-like packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device with an opening and optional indicia to align the catheter or cannula to the opening may be used to apply a dressing to a subject. The packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device may apply and/or maintain a strain in an elastic dressing.
Infusion cannula unit made of plastic
An infusion cannula unit made of plastic has a cannula for insertion in a blood vessel. A housing of the unit has a supply line portion the line axis of which runs at an angle relative to a cannula longitudinal axis, said angle being greater than 10°. The supply line portion is in fluid communication with a lumen of the cannula. The infusion cannula unit has a one-piece design. This results in a unit which is easy to produce and in particular suitable for mass production.
Catheter Assembly Having an Adjustable Side Port Angle and Related Methods
A catheter assembly may include a catheter adapter, which may include a body and a side port extending outwardly from the body. The body may include a distal end, a proximal end, and an inner surface extending through the distal end and the proximal end and forming a lumen. An angle of the side port with respect to a longitudinal axis of the body may be adjustable. The catheter assembly may include a catheter extending distally from the distal end of the catheter adapter. The catheter assembly may include a septum disposed within the lumen proximal to a side port pathway extending through the side port and in fluid communication with the lumen.
NEEDLE SAFETY SYSTEMS
Tissue access devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. The devices can have a sensor configured to occlude a flow path by deflecting a membrane into the flow path when the devices become dislodged from tissue. The sensor can be configured to partially or fully occlude the flow path. The sensor can have a spring. The spring can be biased to move the sensor from a sensor first configuration to a sensor second configuration when a force applied by the sensor first surface against a non-sensor surface changes from a first force to a second force less than the first force. The membrane can be deflected into the flow path when the sensor is in the sensor second configuration.
INFUSION SET WITH ROTATABLE HUB AND PROCESS
A hub member for an infusion set device includes a body and pads configured to receive a squeezing force directed radially inward relative to an axis of the body. The body compresses radially inward relative to the axis in response to the squeezing force. A plurality of connection features on the body are moveable from a first position radially inward toward a second position when the hub member is compressed radially inward. The connection features engage one or more further connection features on a housing to attach the hub member to the housing when the connection features are in the first position, and disengage the further connection features to release the hub member when the connection features are moved toward the second position.
Catheter Assembly Having a Side Port Pathway and Related Methods
A catheter adapter may include a distal end, a proximal end, an inner surface extending through the distal end and the proximal end and forming a lumen, and a side port forming a side port pathway through a sidewall of the catheter adapter and in fluid communication with the lumen. The catheter assembly may include a catheter extending distally from the distal end of the catheter adapter. The catheter assembly may include a septum disposed within the lumen proximal to the side port pathway. The catheter assembly may include one or more features to facilitate flushing of the catheter assembly: a diameter of the side port may increase in a distal direction; a portion of the inner surface proximal to the catheter and distal to the septum may include multiple grooves; the side port pathway may include a non-cylindrical portion; an insert; a rotation element; and a pivot element.
ROTATABLE INFUSION DEVICE AND METHODS THEREOF
An infusion set that has a base having an opening to receive a cannula device, the base having a lower base part and an upper base part, wherein the upper base part is coupled to the lower base part and is rotatable relative to the lower base part and a connector that has a fluid connector tube. The connector prevents the upper base from substantially rotating relative to the lower base and the fluid connector tube is in fluid connection with the cannula device when the connector is coupled to the base.
Ambulatory device and components thereof
Certain embodiments provide multi-medicament or single medicament infusion systems for preventing the cross-channeling or improper delivery of medicaments. The system may include one or more of an infusion pump, medicament cartridges, cartridge connectors, a multi-channel fluid conduit, and an infusion set. The medicament cartridges may be sized and shaped differently such that the medicament reservoirs can only be inserted into the pump under selected configurations.
Medication fluid infusion set component with integrated physiological analyte sensor, and corresponding fluid infusion device
Disclosed is a medical device component for delivering medication fluid to a patient. The medical device component includes a fluid infusion device to regulate delivery of medication fluid, a body-mountable base unit, and a top cover assembly that is removably couplable to the base unit and to the fluid infusion device. The base unit includes a cannula to deliver medication fluid under the control of the fluid infusion device, and a physiological analyte sensor to measure a physiological characteristic. The base unit also includes an electronics assembly electrically connected to sensor leads to obtain measurements in the analog domain, to convert measurements into digital sensor data, and to communicate conditioned digital sensor data to the fluid infusion device. The top cover assembly is configured to provide both fluid and electrical connections for the base unit, by way of an infusion tube having sensor conductors integrated therein or otherwise associated therewith.
INJECTOR NEEDLE INSERTION RETRACTION ASSEMBLY
A needle insertor for a medicament delivery device is presented having a driver having a first part movably arranged within the case and a second part connected to the base, a needle assembly movably held by the first part in the case, a rotator arranged in the case and configured to engage the first part for moving the driver, an energy accumulation member configured to interact with the rotator for applying a rotational force on the rotator, a movable stop arranged on the base and configured to interact with the rotator for preventing the rotator from rotating. The first part has a first position where the needle assembly is held inside the case, a second position where the needle portion is positioned outside the case after being moved to pass through the injection site end, and a third position where the needle portion is positioned inside the case.
