A bolus delivery device is provided that comprises a housing and a reservoir defined by an activation dome and a reservoir seat and disposed within the housing for receipt of a volume of a fluid. The bolus delivery device further comprises a bladder disposed in the housing that is in fluid communication with the reservoir for receipt of the fluid from the reservoir; an actuator; an inlet conduit in fluid communication with the reservoir for providing the fluid to the reservoir; and an outlet conduit in fluid communication with the bladder for providing the fluid to a patient. The actuator is in operative communication with the reservoir to initiate a flow of the fluid from the reservoir to the bladder. The bladder expands as the bladder receives the fluid and contracts as the bladder dispenses the fluid. An infusion assembly including a bolus delivery device also is provided.

The present invention relates to a medicament delivery device comprising a housing, a compartment inside said housing for positioning a medicament container, an injection needle arranged to said housing, being connectable to said medicament container for delivering a dose of medicament, a manually operated activation mechanism for activating said device, an actuation mechanism operably connected to said activation mechanism and arranged to, upon activation of said activation mechanism, extend said injection needle from a first position inside said housing to a second position wherein a penetration of a patient is performed, a plunger rod arranged in said housing capable of acting on said medicament container for delivering a dose of medicament through said injection needle, a driver capable of acting on said plunger rod for delivering a dose of medicament. The invention is characterised in that said device comprises a needle cover operably arranged in said housing from a first position inside said housing to a second extended position outside said housing for shielding said injection needle when said injection needle is in said second position.

Apparatus and methods for providing controlled pressure-flow pulses which purge a catheter system with turbulent flow flushing. Accomplishment of such controlled pressure-flow pulses is provided by a variety of inventive devices including a special plunger rod for a conventional syringe, other interactive parts for conventional syringes, an in-line catheter attachable device which automatically generates the controlled pressure-flow pulses and also single pulse, digitally operated devices.

In some embodiments, a housing can define a reservoir. A lower cap can be coupled to the housing and define an outlet, and an upper cap can be coupled to the housing and can define an inlet. The upper cap can include an extending portion extending laterally a distance beyond an outermost extending portion of the lower cap relative to a central axis of the housing such that, when the lower cap and the extending portion of the upper cap contact a horizontal surface, the central axis of the housing is transverse to the surface and a sealing member is configured to sealingly engage a sealing surface of a valve seat prior to a liquid fluid level within a reservoir decreasing below a minimum threshold fluid level.

Pump assemblies for use with an IV set are described herein. A pump assembly includes a rotatable crank, a piston rod, and a diaphragm assembly. The crank includes a crank profile defining a plurality of lobes. The piston rod includes a first follower and a second follower spaced apart from the first follower. The rotation of the crank relative to the piston rod causes the piston rod to reciprocate relative to the crank. The diaphragm assembly includes a housing and a diaphragm member. The diaphragm member is coupled to the housing and cooperatively defines a volume in fluid communication with the IV set. The diaphragm member is movable between an extended position configured to draw in fluid from the IV set and a contracted position configured to expel fluid into the IV set. The diaphragm member is coupled to the piston rod to reciprocate the diaphragm member.

An IV infusion set includes at least one infusion component, a first IV tube coupled to the infusion component, a second IV tube and a disposable pump head that. The pump head includes an inlet port coupled to the first IV tube, an outlet port coupled to the second IV tube and a drive interface configured to be coupled to a first end of a drive shaft. The drive interface is configured to be rotated by rotation of the drive shaft having a second end coupled to a driver to increase a fluid flow rate through the IV infusion set. IV set assemblies and methods of use are also provided.

A bolus delivery device is provided that comprises a housing and a reservoir defined by an activation dome and a reservoir seat and disposed within the housing for receipt of a volume of a fluid. The bolus delivery device further comprises a bladder disposed in the housing that is in fluid communication with the reservoir for receipt of the fluid from the reservoir; an actuator; an inlet conduit in fluid communication with the reservoir for providing the fluid to the reservoir; and an outlet conduit in fluid communication with the bladder for providing the fluid to a patient. The actuator is in operative communication with the reservoir to initiate a flow of the fluid from the reservoir to the bladder. The bladder expands as the bladder receives the fluid and contracts as the bladder dispenses the fluid. An infusion assembly including a bolus delivery device also is provided.

A medicinal liquid pushing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has a medicinal liquid channel that guides a flow of a medicinal liquid. The medicinal liquid pushing apparatus includes: a reservoir defining an internal space configured to store a medicinal liquid on the medicinal liquid channel; a reservoir pushing member configured to press the reservoir downward; a button member disposed to be spaced apart upward from the reservoir pushing member and configured to be movable downward; and a pressing member disposed between the button member and the reservoir pushing member and configured such that a lower end of the pressing member presses the reservoir pushing member downward while the pressing member is compressively and elastically deformed in an upper-lower direction when an upper end of the pressing member is pushed downward by the button member.

A device for monitoring bolus doses of a medicament administered by a drug delivery device, such as a wearable infusion device, includes a housing and a sensor disposed therein, where the sensor detects a signal generated by the wearable infusion device upon administration of a dose of a medicament. The device may also be provided as a system with the drug delivery device and a user device, where the user device gathers data regarding use of the drug delivery device and doses of medicament administered.

A dual chamber single-hand pump is described that includes a pump chamber with four fluid pathways. Two pathways are configured to conduct fluid to the chamber and to stop flow therethrough from the chamber, and two pathways are configured to conduct fluid from the chamber and to stop flow therethrough to the chamber. A piston positioned and moveable within the chamber separates two of the pathways from the other two pathways within the chamber. The pump can be held in a single hand by having finger grips for stabilizing the pump and a palm grip for advancing the piston. A return spring can return the piston to the original position when the palm is relaxed to allow expansion of the spring.
