FLUID MIXING SET
A fluid mixing device for mixing a first injection fluid and a second injection fluid includes a first fluid inlet, a second fluid inlet, a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the first and second fluid inlets, and an outlet port in fluid communication with the mixing chamber. The first fluid inlet is configured to conduct the first injection fluid in a first direction and has a first redirecting surface. The second fluid inlet is configured to conduct the second injection fluid in a second direction along a different axis from the first direction and has a second redirecting surface. The mixing chamber is configured to mix the first injection fluid and the second fluid together. The mixture of the first injection fluid and the second injection fluid exits the fluid mixing device via the outlet port.
Filtered vacuum relief vent valve
An embodiment includes a valve comprising: a valve channel that couples a valve input to a valve output; a one-way valve included within the channel; a filter; a first pressure relief port, wherein the first pressure relief port is configured to relieve negative pressure when pressure at the valve output is less than pressure at the valve input; a second pressure relief port, wherein the second pressure relief port is configured to relieve positive pressure when pressure at the valve output is greater than pressure at the valve input; wherein the one-way valve includes a monolithic portion that simultaneously seals the channel, the first pressure relief port, and the second pressure relief port; wherein the filter covers the first pressure relief port.
CHECK VALVE WITH FLASH SEAL
Check valve assemblies for fluid flow sets and devices are provided. The check valve assembly includes an inlet body including a fluid inlet, a first seal bead and a second seal bead, and an outlet body including a fluid outlet. A seal includes inner and outer rings, wherein, in a fully sealed position of the check valve assembly, the inner ring is configured to engage with the first seal bead and the outer ring is configured to engage with the second seal bead. Fluid flow sets and methods for manufacturing check valve assemblies are also provided.
Check valve with flash seal
Check valve assemblies for fluid flow sets and devices are provided. The check valve assembly includes an inlet body including a fluid inlet, first and second seal beads, and a central channel. An outlet body includes a fluid outlet and a stem having a centering post, the centering post received by the central channel of the inlet body. A seal includes inner and outer rings, wherein the inner ring is configured to engage with the first seal bead and the outer ring is configured to engage with the second seal bead in a fully sealed position of the check valve assembly. Fluid flow sets and methods for manufacturing check valve assemblies are also provided.
LOW PROFILE CATHETER SYSTEM
A low profile catheter system includes a catheter hub with proximal, distal, and intermediate portions, a stabilization surface located on an underside, and a receptacle located within a top surface. A substantially linear flow path extends from an opening at the distal portion to an inlet located within the intermediate portion and allows fluid to flow between the distal and intermediate portions. The inlet of the flow path is located between the proximal and distal portions. A base connector has a fluid path extending through at least a portion of the base connector and between a first opening located nearer a first end and a second opening. The fluid path is fluidly connected to the inlet of the flow path and a second end of the base connector is retained within the receptacle by the proximal portion when the base connector is received by the receptacle.
Priming valve to induce appropriate pressure and flow profile and improve sensor readiness
A priming valve includes a fluid flow path, a fluid inlet configured to couple to a fluid outlet of a fluid channel including at least one sensor configured to characterize at least one attribute of a fluid, a fluid outlet, a valve seat, and a connector. The connector engages the valve seat to prevent fluid flow via the fluid flow path. The connector is configured to move relative to the valve seat in response to a threshold pressure within the fluid flow path to allow the fluid to flow via the fluid flow path. A flow sensor sub-assembly for sensing flow of a fluidic medicament may include a priming valve and at least one sensor of a fluid port configured to characterize at least one attribute of a fluid within an administrable fluid source. A method for readying a fluid sensor may use a priming valve.
Bidirectional medical valves
A medical valve can include a housing that includes a sidewall and defines a chamber. The medical valve can include a septum coupled to the housing. The septum can include a proximal surface and a selectively openable closure positioned within the chamber. The medical valve can further include a plurality of projections that extend away from the sidewall and are configured to contact the proximal surface of the septum to oppose movement of a restricted portion of the septum in a proximal direction such that an aspiration cracking pressure required to open the closure to permit fluid flow through the septum in the proximal direction exceeds an infusion cracking pressure required to open the closure to permit fluid flow through the septum in the distal direction.
Urological device including a valve retained in a urinary catheter
A urological device includes a valve retained in a urinary catheter. The urinary catheter has a first portion that is insertable into a urethra and a second portion adapted to remain outside of the urethra when the first portion is inserted into the urethra. The valve has a closed configuration adapted to prevent urine from exiting the urinary catheter and an open configuration adapted to allow urine to flow through and exit the urinary catheter. The valve is adapted to move from the closed configuration to the open configuration in response to a hydrodynamic pressure of at least 750 mm H2O applied to the valve for at least 5 seconds.
MEMBRANE VALVE FOR CONTROLLING FLOW AND PRESSURE RELIEF
A membrane valve for controlling flow and pressure relief, has a format following the anatomy and the action mechanism of a sphincter, in order not to have restriction points to the fluid flow. The valve includes a body provided with terminal sections provided with ends and, internally, a folded membrane which opens and closes according to the flow and/or pressure exerted therein, directly or indirectly, locally or remotely.
BREATH CAPTURE DEVICE
A breath capturing device including a body having an internal reservoir, an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet. A first pathway extends between the inlet and the reservoir, a second pathway extends between the reservoir and the first outlet, and a third pathway extends between the reservoir and the second outlet. A first valve is positioned within the first pathway and is configured to restrict flow therealong to flow from the inlet to the reservoir above a first pressure. A second valve is positioned within the second pathway and is configured to restrict flow therealong to flow from the reservoir to the first outlet above a second pressure greater than the first pressure. A third valve is positioned within the third pathway and is selectively transitional between an open and closed configurations to selectively retrieve fluid from the reservoir.
