The invention relates to a secure system for the perfusion of a body liquid, enabling a final control of compatibility of a treatment with the patient and/or the medical situation previously diagnosed by a doctor, in a simple, efficient and energy-saving manner. To this end, the system includes a fluidic circuit of a perfusion having a perfusion catheter, a perfusion tubing and a container for the determined perfusion product to be perfused to a patient. The system is also configured to take a body liquid sample from a patient and to analyze and compare the body liquid sample to the determined perfusion product so as to control the flow of the perfusion product.

An irrigation system for providing a continuous and controlled flow of a fluid, wherein said irrigation system may include a reservoir system comprising a plurality of containers of fluid that are disposed in a predetermined radial configuration; said reservoir system has a main longitudinal axis; and a fluid transfer system in fluid connection with said reservoir system, said fluid transfer system comprising at least one fluid transfer head, adapted to transfer fluid from one of said plurality of containers to an external tubing system; wherein each of said fluid transfer heads has a mechanism adapted to radially move each of said fluid transfer heads around the main longitudinal axis and reach a position below each of the plurality of containers.

An infusion pump system and method with common line auto flush, wherein the infusion pump system has a first reservoir, a second reservoir, a junction, a common line having one end in fluid connection with the junction and having a terminal fluid delivery end, and an infusion pump. The method includes infusing the first fluid at a first rate along a first flow path; entering a common line flush volume value for the common line; switching from the first flow path to a second flow path; driving the second fluid at the first rate along the second flow path; monitoring volume of the second fluid driven at the first rate; and driving the second fluid at a second rate along the second flow path when the monitored volume is equal to or greater than the common line flush volume value.

Devices, systems, and techniques for programming drug delivery are described. Such techniques may account for diffusion and mixing of drug within the fluid or allow for more flexible programming options. In one example, a method may include determining one or more fluid delivery parameters (e.g., volume, flow rate, or period of time) for a fluid that is a mixture of two other fluids. The determination may be based on one or more fluid delivery parameters of the two other fluids and/or a concentration profile representing the mixing between the two other fluids. In other examples, drug delivery programming may be facilitated by the selection of various patterns and steps of drug delivery. The system may track volume of delivered fluid to maintain desired dosing of the patient.

Systems for predicting a drug delivery profile as described herein include at least one drug pump and/or a controllable valve that produce a drug flow and dispense at least a first drug. The system also includes at least one carrier fluid pump and/or another controllable valve that produces a carrier fluid flow, a flow junction structure configured to receive the drug flow and the carrier fluid flow to produce a mixed flow, and a fluid path for carrying the mixed flow between the flow junction structure and a delivery point. The system further includes a processing device configured to predict the drug delivery profile at the delivery point based on determining a predicted time variation of drug concentration at the delivery point using at least a model of the mixed flow. The model includes a plurality of parameters related to propagation of the mixed flow through the fluid path.

Disclosed herein are techniques related to configurable target values. The techniques may involve identifying a target glucose value obtained based on user input. Additionally, the techniques may involve determining a fluid delivery command based on a difference between a measured glucose value and the target glucose value. The techniques may further involve causing fluid delivery by a fluid infusion device in accordance with the fluid delivery command to regulate the measured glucose value to the target glucose value.

A flow meter includes a coupler, a support member, an image sensor, and one or more processors. The coupler is adapted to couple to a drip chamber. The support member is coupled to the coupler. The image sensor has a field of view and is operatively coupled to the support member. The image sensor is positioned to view the drip chamber within the field of view. The processor is operatively coupled to the image sensor to receive image data from the image sensor and is configured to: capture an image of a drip chamber using an image sensor; compare the image of a drip chamber with a dynamic background image; and adjust a flow rate of fluid flowing through the fluid line in accordance with the comparison between the image of the drip chamber and the dynamic background image.

A system for intraoral fluid delivery comprises a rate-controlled and/or volume-controlled fluid supply device, a reservoir for holding one or more fluids to be delivered to a patient's oral cavity, a mouthpiece to be worn by a patient at least partially within the patient's oral cavity, and tubing to carry the one or more fluids from the fluid supply device to the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece comprises a fluid inlet adjacent and/or exterior to the patient's oral cavity when the mouthpiece is worn by the patient, a fluid outlet posterior to the fluid inlet, and a fluid channel therebetween.

An LVP that provides peristaltic pumping to removably couplable administration set tubing assemblies supplying medical infusate. The LVP includes a housing, a drive-train assembly, and a controller. The housing includes an assembly receptacle configured to receive an administration set tubing assembly. The drive-train assembly provides mechanical peristaltic movement within the assembly receptacle. The drive-train assembly includes a stepper motor located within the housing and a camshaft assembly, driven by the stepper motor and at least partially extending into the assembly receptacle. The camshaft assembly includes a unitary camshaft and a plurality of tube engaging members that cooperatively move according to rotation of the unitary camshaft. Further, the controller is located within the housing that controls operation of the stepper motor and the camshaft assembly.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to provide fluid nutrition and hydration. In one illustrative example, a feeding set for use with a peristaltic enteral feeding pump has sections of flexible tubing or conduit, a dispensing control valve that is in fluid communication with the tubing, and a retention disk. In some configurations, the feeding set has as attachment mechanism, which may be formed by one clips or hooks extending from the dispensing control valve and coupling geometry of the retention disk. By some approaches, the clips or hooks and the coupling geometry are configured to attach the feeding set with the pump, such as by attaching the feeding set to an internal panel of the feeding pump. In operation, the feeding set and pump are used to move fluid nutrition and hydration from a container or bag to the patient in a controlled manner.
