There is provided an IV infusion set comprising a patient access configured to connect to a vascular system of a patient, a source of medical fluid, an infusion line having one first end configured to connect to the source of medical fluid and one opposite second end configured to deliver the medical fluid towards the patient access, an infusion apparatus arranged on the infusion line, a sensor configured to emit a pressure signal indicative of a pressure of a medical fluid in the infusion line, and a control unit configured to receive the pressure signal and to determine a patient signal indicative of a vital signal of the patient based on the pressure signal. The IV infusion set further comprises a compliance element configured to attenuate pressure variations of medical fluid the infusion line, and a resistance element configured to reflect pressure waves moving along the infusion line. The sensor is arranged on the infusion line at a position downstream from the resistance element with respect to a direction of fluid flow along the infusion line from the medical fluid source towards the patient access. The infusion line may include a main infusion line and/or one or more auxiliary infusion lines connected to a main infusion line.

A filling aid device for filling a reservoir. The device includes a cover portion comprising a septum window; a slider beam comprising a septum cover; and a first filling aid tab attached to the slider beam, the first filling aid tab in slidable relation to the cover from a first position to a second position, wherein when the filling aid device is in an unlocked position, the septum cover is located below the septum window, wherein when the first filling aid tab is moved from the first position to the second position, the septum cover is moved from below the septum window, and the filling aid device is in the locked position.

The invention relates to an apparatus (2, 3), comprising a mating unit (20-1, 20-2) for releasably attaching the apparatus (2) to a medical device (1) or for releasably receiving at least a part of the medical device (1). The apparatus (2, 3) further comprises one or more optical sensors (25, 26) and/or one or more acoustical sensors (27) for determining information related to a condition and/or use of the medical device (1). The invention further relates to a system comprising such an apparatus (2, 3) and such a medical device (1), to a method (500, 600, 700) and a computer program (61) for determining information related to a condition and/or use of such a medical device (1), and to a computer-readable medium (60) storing such a computer program (61).

A protective mechanism for use when gripping a medical device to a rack is provided. A related system and method are also provided. The protective mechanism includes a connector, an actuation member configured to have a first end portion and a second end portion. The cover member is configured to interact with the actuation member so as to pivot to uncover the connector when the actuation member pivots in a first direction and to pivot to cover the connector when the actuation member pivots in a second direction.

A device for administering needle-free subcutaneous treatment to a patient comprises an actuator configured to deliver a plurality of volumes of a treatment at a plurality of locations on a body of the patient; at least one imaging device configured to detect a movement of the needle-free device from a first location on the body of the patient to a second location on the body of the patient; and a processor configured to determine the second location on the body of the device relative to the first location from the movement of the needle-free device relative to the first location on the body, the processor further configured to determine a volume of the plurality of volumes of the treatment to deliver to the body of the patient at the second location.

There is provided an infusion set capable of significantly reducing a period of time required for work of a worker during infusion. The infusion set includes a drip chamber, a tube which is connected to an outlet of the drip chamber, a roller clip which is provided in the tube, and an M clamp which is provided between the drip chamber and the roller clip in the tube and is used for storing liquid in the drip chamber. The tube has a first tube which can be mounted to an infusion pump device, a second tube which is connected to the outlet of the drip chamber and an inlet of the first tube, and a third tube which is connected to an outlet of the first tube. The M clamp is provided in the second tube, and the roller clip is provided in the third tube.

Disclosed herein is a reservoir for use in a wearable drug delivery device having multiple chambers of potentially varying lengths or arrangement so as to efficiently utilize available space within a housing of the drug delivery device. Each of the chambers is connected to a fluid path and a liquid drug is drawn from each of the chambers by suction applied to the fluid path. Each of the chambers is fitted with a free piston which is moved within the chamber by the suction applied to the fluid path as it draws the liquid drug out of the chamber, thereby eliminating the need for a mechanical arrangement for moving the piston within each of the chambers.

An infusion apparatus includes a housing and a chamber configured to be connected to the housing. The apparatus further includes a weight sensor coupled to a load connector connected to the housing and an optical sensor disposed in the housing. The weight sensor is configured to generate a first signal based on a measured weight of the fluid container attached to the housing in a weight-bearing configuration. The optical sensor is configured to generate a second signal based on detecting drops of the fluid traversing the chamber. The apparatus also includes a flow control mechanism to control a flow rate of the fluid into an outlet channel. The apparatus includes one or more processing devices configured to perform operations including transmitting a control signal to the flow control mechanism to adjust the flow rate.
