A liquid supplying device for a human insulin injection includes a substrate, a liquid storage chamber, a flow-guiding-and-actuating unit, a sensor and a driving chip. The flow-guiding-and-actuating unit includes a liquid guiding channel having a liquid guiding outlet in fluid communication with a liquid storage outlet of the liquid storage chamber. The sensor contacts with the human skin to measure a blood glucose level contained in sweat. The driving chip is configured to control the actuation of the flow-guiding-and-actuating unit, control open/closed states of the switching valves and receive the measured data from the sensor for determination. By driving the flow-guiding-and-actuating unit, a pressure gradient is generated, and an insulin liquid stored in the liquid storage chamber is transported to the liquid guiding outlet through the liquid guiding channel, flowing into a microneedle patch, and injected into a subcutaneous tissue through a plurality of hollow microneedles.

A breast pump (100) includes a left cup portion (1), a right cup portion (2), a tube (15, 16, 99), a pump (30), a container (14), a first switching valve (V1), a second switching valve (V1), and a control unit (70). The internal space of the tube (99) forms a passage (10). The passage (10) connects a first separator (S1) that communicates with a closed space (51), a second separator (S2) that communicates with a closed space (52), a discharge hole (31) of the pump (30), and a suction hole (32) of the pump (30). The first switching valve (V1) is provided within the tube (99) that is in the middle of the passage (10). The second switching valve (V2) is also provided within the tube (99) that is in the middle of the passage (10).

A breakaway connector generally includes a first valve having a first rotating-type fluid control member, and a second valve that is attachable to the first valve and has a second rotating-type fluid control member. Each of the fluid control members has an open position in which fluid is permitted to flow through the respective valve, and a closed position in which fluid is prevented from flowing through the respective valve. Each one of the valves is configured to engage the fluid control member of the other one of the valves to move the fluid control member from the open position to the closed position upon detachment of the valves from one another.

A fluid connection device includes a first connector having at least one fluid passage and a second connector having at least one fluid passage. The second connector includes a sealing door that may be opened and closed for sealing the fluid passage when the first connector and the second connector are disconnected. The first connector includes a mechanical or electronic key for actuating the second connector, such that the sealing door opens in response to the key. When the sealing door is opened, the first connector may be joined with the second connector. When the first connector is fully joined with the second connector, the fluid passages may be adjacently aligned and in fluid communication for fluid flow therebetween.

A cranial shunt implantable into a patient, the cranial shunt may comprise a first catheter, a second catheter and a valve assembly operatively coupled with the first and second catheters, the valve assembly comprising an inlet and a microcontroller, wherein the first catheter transfers cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to the inlet. The cranial shunt may also comprise a pressure sensor configured to provide intracranial pressure (ICP) of the patient to the microcontroller, and a tilt sensor configured to provide an angle of orientation relative to gravity of a cranium of the patient to the microcontroller, where the valve assembly passes or blocks the CSF flow to the second catheter based on instructions from the microcontroller.

Injection device (1, 1), in particular for injecting a liquid into a body in magnetic resonance tomography, comprising: a syringe with a reservoir (3) for holding a liquid, with a nozzle (5) arranged on the reservoir, and with a plunger (9) for expelling the liquid from the reservoir through the nozzle, a drive member, which is connected to the plunger (9) in order to drive the plunger (9), and a non-electrical energy accumulator (17, 17), which is connected to the drive member in order to operate the drive member.
