SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PUMP-ASSISTED BLOOD CIRCULATION
A system for assisting a circulation of blood inside a body of a patient includes a pump including: a housing having an upstream portion and a downstream portion; an inducer positioned in the upstream portion of the housing, the inducer including one or more helically-wound inducer blades to rotate around a longitudinal axis of the pump; an impeller positioned downstream of the inducer in the housing, the impeller including one or more impeller blades to rotate around the longitudinal axis of the pump; and a diffuser positioned in the downstream portion of the housing, to direct blood through at least one aperture in a circumference of the housing.
Catheter delivery device and related systems and methods
A catheter system may include a catheter assembly and a catheter delivery device. The catheter assembly may include a catheter adapter, which may include a catheter adapter distal end, a catheter adapter proximal end, and a catheter adapter lumen extending through the catheter adapter distal end and the catheter adapter proximal end. The catheter assembly may include a primary catheter extending from the catheter adapter distal end. The catheter delivery device may include a housing, which may include a housing distal end coupled to the catheter assembly, a housing proximal end, and a housing lumen extending through the housing distal end and the housing proximal end. A secondary catheter may be disposed within the housing. The secondary catheter may be configured to move distally through the catheter assembly in response to a fluid pressure provided by a fluid delivery device coupled to the housing proximal end.

Integrated Catheter System for Blood Draw at the Time of Placement and with Enabling Feature for Blood Draw During Indwell
An integrated peripheral intravenous (IV) catheter configured for blood draw both at the time of catheter placement and during catheter indwell. The peripheral IV catheter includes a catheter adapter having a catheter configured to be inserted into a patient's vasculature and a side inlet defining a fluid pathway into and out of the catheter. The peripheral IV catheter also includes a side port member having a main branch, the main branch including a distal end configured to couple the side port member to the side inlet of the catheter adapter and a connector portion accessible via a proximal end of the main branch. Additionally, the peripheral IV catheter includes a blood collection adapter removably and directly coupled to the connector portion of the side port member at the proximal end of the main branch. Furthermore, side pore member of the peripheral IV catheter may include a side branch.

PORTABLE OXYGEN FLOW REGULATOR
An apparatus for controlling the flow of oxygen to a patient comprises an outer housing extending between first and second ends having a passage therethrough. The housing composes a first portion extending from the first end towards the second end and a second portion extending from the second end towards the first end wherein the second portion is threadably rotatable relative to the first portion so as to longitudinally displaced relative to the first portion under rotation thereof so as to adjust at least a portion of the passage extending therethrough adjusting a flow capacity of the passage. The apparatus further comprises connectors at each of the first and second ends operable to connect to oxygen conduits to fluidically conned the oxygen conduits to the passage through the housing.
