A surgical fluid management system includes a console and a cassette for delivering fluids to a surgical site. The console has a pump rotor and a pressure-sensing membrane. The cassette has a cassette housing, a flexible fluid delivery tube in the housing. The flexible fluid delivery tube has a lumen configured to interface with the pump rotor and to deliver a flow of fluid from a fluid source as the rotor is rotated. A pressure-transmitting membrane is located in a wall of the cassette housing and in fluid communication with said fluid delivery lumen,. The pressure-transmitting membrane flexes outwardly in response to a positive pressure in the lumen and flexes inwardly in response to a negative pressure in the lumen. The pressure-transmitting membrane detachably adheres to or presses against the pressure-sensing membrane to cause the pressure-sensing membrane to move in response to pressure changes in the flexible fluid delivery tube.

Method and system for treating a patient using a compressible, pressure-attenuating device. According to one embodiment, the system is used to treat urinary tract disorders and can include one or more of an access device, a delivery device, a pressure-attenuating device, and a removal device. The access device may be used to create a passageway to an anatomical structure, such as the patient's bladder. The delivery device may be inserted through the passageway created by the access device and may be used to deliver the pressure-attenuating device to the anatomical structure. The removal device may be inserted through the passageway created by the access device and may be used to view the bladder and/or to capture, to deflate and to remove the pressure-attenuating device.

Bubble traps for use in medical fluid lines and medical fluid bubble trap systems are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the bubble trap is configured to trap gas (e.g., air) that flows into the bubble trap from a fluid line. In some embodiments, the bubble trap includes an inlet and an outlet and a chamber between the inlet and the outlet. For example, in some embodiments, the bubble trap is configured to inhibit gas from flowing into the outlet once gas flows into the chamber from the inlet. In some embodiments, the bubble trap is in fluid communication with a source container, a destination container, and/or a patient.

The present application includes a sheath that is suitable for use in a variety of medical procedures. In one or more implementations, the sheath includes a shunt member, and a curvable portion. The curvable portion may be configured in various orientations to facilitate an intervention, such as a hemodialysis intervention, or the like, by an operator. The curvable portion may be configured to bend between a substantially straight configuration and a curved configuration. In implementations, the sheath may be configured to have detachable and/or interchangeable components (e.g., shunt member, curvable portion, etc.).

Systems, devices and methods for removing a blood clot (10) from a blood vessel (12). Various uses of suction pressure and positive pressure, proximal and/or distal to the blood clot (10) assist with clot dislodgement and removal. The pressure(s) may be constant and/or cycled/pulsed to assist with clot dislodgement and/or removal. Various further devices assist with separating the clot (10) from the vessel (12).

An injection setup kit can include a manifold connector, a first packaging container, and a fluid line. The first packaging container can define a first closed interior volume that includes a patient interface connector having a patient interface inlet, a first patient interface outlet, and a valve configured to selectively permit fluid communication through the patient interface connector. The patient interface inlet can be fluidly connected to the manifold outlet. The fluid line can have a first fluid line end and a second fluid line end. The first fluid line end can be connected to the patient interface inlet within the first closed interior volume. The second fluid line end can extend outside of the first closed interior volume and be connected to a manifold outlet outside of the first closed interior volume.

A needleless connector may include a housing having an inlet port, an outlet port, and an inner surface defining an internal cavity extending between the inlet and outlet ports, and a compressible valve reciprocally disposed within the internal cavity. In a closed state, a top section of a head portion of the compressible valve may have a planar shape configured to contact and seal against the inner surface of the housing. In an open state, where the compressible valve is subject to an axial force, the top section of the head portion may be lodged between two pinch points between opposing walls of an inwardly angled portion of the internal surface. Additionally, in the open state, the top section of the head portion may have a non-planar shape defining a fluid path extending at least partially between opposing walls on an outwardly angled portion of the internal surface.

A flow sensor sub-assembly includes a flow tube having a lumen, an outside diameter, a first end, and a second end. An inlet fitting includes a conical orifice sized for insertion in either end of the flow tube, such that an internal passage of the inlet fitting is coaxial and concentric with the lumen and the end of the flow tube abuts a shoulder. An outlet fitting includes a conical orifice sized for insertion in either end of the flow tube, such that an internal passage of the inlet fitting is coaxial and concentric with the lumen and the end of the flow tube abuts a shoulder. A first piezo element integrated with the inlet fitting is arranged at an upstream position of the flow tube assembly and a second piezo element integrated with the outlet fitting is arranged at a downstream position of the flow tube assembly.

A fluid management system receives fluid from a fluid source and delivers the fluid to a medical probe having a first fluid infusion and aspiration circuit and a second fluid infusion and aspiration circuit. The system also transfers fluid from the medical probe to a collection container. A controller operates a first pump and valve assembly to selectively deliver fluid inflow from the fluid source to one of the first fluid infusion and the second fluid infusion and aspiration circuit. The controller further operates a second pump and valve assembly to selectively transfer fluid outflow to the collection container from one of the first fluid infusion and aspiration circuit of the medical probe and the second fluid infusion and aspiration circuit of the medical probe.
