The present invention discloses a liquid medicine injection device that is attached to a patient's body to inject liquid medicine such as insulin at an appropriate time.

A liquid medicine injection device according to the present invention includes: a case; a liquid medicine tank that is disposed in the case and where liquid medicine is received; an electro-osmosis pump that is connected with the liquid medicine tank and moves the liquid medicine; a needle assembly that receives the liquid medicine by being connected to the electro-osmosis pump and injects the received liquid medicine into a human body; and an adhesive member combined to the case and attached to the human body.

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for draining. The apparatus includes a body, the body having a first compartment adjacent to a second compartment, the first compartment having an inlet port fluidly connected to an outlet port, the inlet port defining a needle seat within the first compartment, a first rod hole for operation with a second rod hole in the second compartment, and a plurality of venting holes, the second compartment having a plurality of spaced notches along. The apparatus further includes a setting rod, the setting rod having a shaft and a sealing head, the shaft sized to be slideably maintained in the first rod hole and the second rod hole, the sealing head slideably attached to an end of the shaft and sized to obstruct fluid flow from the inlet port at the needle seat.

A valve device for a medical fluid line system includes a main body, the main body having a first fluid passage and a second fluid passage, each fluid passage extending between an inlet side and an outlet side of the main body. The main body has a first wall portion and a second wall portion which are each elastically displaceable, under the effect of fluid pressure, relative to a substantially dimensionally stable web portion of the main body. Each wall portion is arranged on the web portion, forming one of the fluid passages, in such a way that the first fluid passage is substantially uninfluenced by a fluid-pressure-induced deformation of the second wall portion, and the second fluid passage is substantially uninfluenced by a fluid-pressure-induced deformation of the first wall portion.

A dual check valve includes an upper housing, an intermediate housing, and a lower housing, and a first valve seat. The intermediate housing is coupled to the upper housing to define a first cavity, and includes a second valve seat. The lower housing is coupled to the intermediate housing to define a second cavity. A first disk is mounted in the first cavity and configured to selectively contact the first valve seat. A second disk is mounted in the second cavity and configured to selectively contact the second valve seat. When the dual check valve is in an open state, the first disk deflects away from the first valve seat to create a first gap, and the second disk deflects away from the second valve seat to create a second. The first gap is smaller than the second gap.

A connector is provided comprising first and second hollow connector bodies, the connector having a first expanded position providing a first fluid flow path through the first hollow connector body, and a second collapsed position providing a second fluid flow path through the first and second hollow connector bodies.

A fluid controller includes a piezoelectric pump, a valve, and a cuff. The valve includes a first valve housing, a diaphragm, and a second valve housing. The second valve housing has a second air hole, a third air hole, and a first valve seat. The second air hole connects to the internal space of the cuff. The third air hole connects to the outside of the fluid controller. The first valve seat is formed around the third air hole. Together, the second valve housing and the diaphragm form a first flow passage. The first flow passage connects the second air hole and the third air hole to each other. The second valve housing has a protruded portion protruding toward the diaphragm and providing a portion of the first flow passage. The shortest distance between the protruded portion and the diaphragm is less than the diameter of the third air hole.

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for draining. The apparatus includes a body, the body having a first compartment adjacent to a second compartment, the first compartment having an inlet port fluidly connected to an outlet port, the inlet port defining a needle seat within the first compartment, a first rod hole for operation with a second rod hole in the second compartment, and a plurality of venting holes, the second compartment having a plurality of spaced notches along. The apparatus further includes a setting rod, the setting rod having a shaft and a sealing head, the shaft sized to be slideably maintained in the first rod hole and the second rod hole, the sealing head slideably attached to an end of the shaft and sized to obstruct fluid flow from the inlet port at the needle seat.

A medical push button valve having a valve housing, a flow channel formed in the valve housing as well as a valve piston which is arranged displaceably in the valve housing between a position releasing the flow channel and a position closing the flow channel. The valve piston is operatively connected with a pressure element mounted on the valve housing and is spring-loaded via at least one spring element. The valve piston is biased into the position closing the flow channel with the spring-loaded pressure element. In order to provide a medical push button valve which allows for a simple and fatigue-free one-handed operation, the spring-loaded pressure element can be locked in at least one position in which the valve piston operatively connected with the pressure element at least partially releases the flow channel.

Portable oxygen concentrator elements are described including integrated sensor/accumulator assemblies, new muffler designs, and improved airflow and internal gas connectivity. The result of the elements is an extremely compact, light reliable portable oxygen concentrator that is easy to assemble and relatively inexpensive.

A microfluidic intravital window includes an intravital imaging window adapted for implantation adjacent target tissue of a live animal, and a microfluidic fluid source and delivery system physically integrated into the window for controlled delivery of fluids to target tissue via the window. The microfluidic fluid source and delivery system is self-contained and completely located within the intravital imaging window, and includes at least one preloaded fluid reservoir, at least one fluid port in fluidic communication with both the at least one preloaded fluid reservoir and the target tissue, and at least one light activated fluid flow control device situated between the at least one preloaded fluid reservoir and at least one fluid port, to facilitate simultaneous in vivo viewing and remotely controlled fluid delivery to the target tissue.
