The apparatus pre-treats fluid and then delivers it to a patient during surgery, for example a hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) procedure. It comprises a reservoir (2) for the fluid, a reversible pump (10) and a valve assembly (22). In a recirculation mode, the pump (10) is operated in one direction to draw fluid from the reservoir (2), through the valve assembly (22) and back to the reservoir (2), while the fluid is pre-treated by heating, for example. In a fluid delivery mode, the pump (10) is operated in an opposite direction to draw fluid from the reservoir (2) and deliver the fluid through the valve assembly (22) to a port (30) from which it can be supplied to the patient. A second pump (12) may be provided for drawing fluid from the patient via a return port (48). The pumps (10,12) may be peristaltic pumps integrated with the walls of the reservoir (2).

Methods of preparing a drug for delivery and drug delivery systems for achieving the same are disclosed. A method of preparing a drug for delivery may include providing a diluent contained in a diluent container and providing a drug product contained within a drug product container. The method may further include fluidly connecting the diluent container and the drug product container. Additionally the method may include urging, via a pump, at least a portion of the diluent from the diluent container into the drug product container to at least partially reconstitute the drug product.

The present disclosure relates to a medicament delivery device. The medicament delivery device comprises a housing, a needle and a reservoir. The needle is configured to project from a distal end of the housing. The reservoir is disposed in the housing and has a flexible wall. The medicament delivery device further comprises a dispensing member and a biasing member. The dispensing member is disposed in the housing and the biasing member is configured to bias the dispensing member to move in an arcuate path relative to the housing such that the dispensing member moves across the flexible wall of the reservoir to dispense medicament from the reservoir when the reservoir contains medicament.

A mini peristaltic pump is provided that includes a base plate, first and second gears disposed on a first side of the base plate, first and second roller wheels disposed on a second side of the base plate and coupled to the first and second gears, respectively, and one or more rollers coupled to each of the first and second roller wheels. A motor is coupled to the first gear, the motor configured to rotate the first gear and the first roller wheel to move the one or more rollers coupled to the first roller wheel in a first orbital path to peristaltically engage and compress a hand pump disposed between the first and second roller wheels. A profile feature on the base may be provided instead of the second gear and roller wheel. Systems and methods are also provided.

A method of dispensing fluid includes three processes. A first one of these processes includes pumping fluid into a resilient variable-volume dispensing chamber. The dispensing chamber is in series with a normally present finite fluid impedance and an output. The impedance is sufficient so as to cause expansion of the dispensing chamber as it receives pumped fluid even while some fluid flows through the output. Another one of these processes includes repeatedly measuring a parameter related to volume of the dispensing chamber over time. A third one of these processes includes controlling the pumping of fluid based on repeated measurements of the parameter to produce a desired fluid flow through the output. A corresponding system for dispensing fluid implements these processes.

A dispensing system includes a reservoir containing the product to be dispensed, a movable element slidably mounted in the reservoir in a sealed manner so as to move according to a level of product in the reservoir, an electric motor, a pump driven by the electric motor and connected to the reservoir to transfer the product from the reservoir to a dispensing device, a first detection member providing information on at least one parameter of the movable element, the first detection member comprising a signal transmitter and a signal receiver, a second detection member configured to determine at least one operating parameter of the pump or the electric motor, an electronic member cooperating with the first and second detection members to provide information relating to the dispensing of a predetermined dose of the product.

Systems and methods of use for continuous analyte measurement of a host's vascular system are provided. In some embodiments, a continuous glucose measurement system includes a vascular access device, a sensor and sensor electronics, the system being configured for insertion into communication with a host's circulatory system.

Provided is a contrast medium injection system that allows a connector of a tube connected to a patient to be reliably locked and easily unlocked with a small force and kept clean in normal use.

The system includes a detachably attachable injection line kit, at least one fluid injection flow path and a first connector provided on a downstream end of the flow path. The kit includes at least one patient connection flow path and a second connector that is provided on an upstream end of the patient connection flow path and detachably attachable to and engageable with the first connector. The contrast medium injection system body has a first set position where the kit is set and a second set position where the first and second connectors are engaged more deeply than in the first set position.

A patch-sized fluid delivery device may include a reusable portion and a disposable portion. The disposable portion may include components that come into contact with the fluid, while the reusable portion may include only components that do not come into contact with the fluid. Redundant systems, such as redundant controllers, power sources, motor actuators, and alarms, may be provided. Alternatively or additionally, certain components can be multi-functional, such a microphones and loudspeakers that may be used for both acoustic volume sensing and for other functions and a coil that may be used as both an inductive coupler for a battery recharger and an antenna for a wireless transceiver. Various types of network interfaces may be provided in order to allow for remote control and monitoring of the device.

A feeding set for use with a peristaltic enteral feeding pump to deliver nutritional liquid fluid to a patient includes a container having nutritional liquid. A conduit assembly includes tubing placeable in fluid communication with the container and adapted for mounting on the enteral feeding pump. The tubing provides a fluid pathway for delivering the nutritional liquid from the container to a patient when the tubing is mounted on the enteral feeding pump. An identification member is mounted on the conduit assembly and has at least one characteristic of a nutritional liquid associated with the feeding set represented by the identification member. The identification member is positioned on the conduit assembly so as to permit automatic identification by the enteral feeding pump of the at least one characteristic of the nutritional liquid upon mounting the conduit assembly on the enteral feeding pump.
