An infusion tube system and a method for manufacture are provided. An infusion tube system including an infusion tube and a connector attached to the infusion tube at an end of the infusion tube is disclosed. The connector has a proximal end and includes a connector body extending from a distal end to a proximal end along a center axis and defining a cavity. The connector body includes an end wall with an inner surface, and at least one vent opening, and a sidewall extending from the end wall along the center axis with an inner and outer surface. The connector includes a membrane covering the at least one vent opening, the membrane being welded to the inner surface of the end wall along at least one welding seam including a first welding seam such that the membrane covers and seals the at least one vent opening.

A catheter system may include a cap, which may include a top. The cap may include a male luer extending distally from the top and inserted into a proximal end of a female luer adapter of the catheter system. The cap may include a first arm and a second arm extending distally from the top. The first arm may include a first slot, and the second arm may include a second slot. The first protrusion may be disposed within the first slot and the second protrusion may be disposed within the second slot. The cap may include a collar extending distally from the top. An inner surface of the collar may include a first undercut and a second undercut. The first protrusion may be disposed within the first undercut and the second protrusion may be disposed within the second undercut.

A device for preventing contamination of a positive-pressure connector (6) of an indwelling needle and a method based on same. The device comprises a shell (1), a connecting port (3) fixedly connected to the shell (1) and used for connecting to the positive-pressure connector (6), an air pressure balance hole (5) disposed opposite to the connecting port (3) and provided on the shell (1), and a filtering membrane (2) provided between the air pressure balance hole (5) and the connecting port (3). The device is simple in structure, adopts a structural design of the filtering membrane (2), can filter microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, dusts, and particulate pollution sources, and is used during indwelling of infusion intervals to prevent the positive-pressure connector (6) from being exposed to the air and maintain the aseptic state and positive-pressure condition of the positive-pressure connector (6) during indwelling.

An intravenous delivery system may operate by gravity feed, and may have a liquid source containing a liquid, a drip unit that receives the liquid from the liquid source, and tubing that receives the liquid from the drip unit for delivery to a patient. A flow rate sensor may be used to measure a flow rate of liquid through the intravenous delivery system, and may generate a flow rate signal indicative of the flow rate. A controller may receive the signal, and may compare the flow rate with a desired flow rate. If the flow rate is more or less than the desired flow rate, the controller may transmit a control signal to a flow rate regulator. The flow rate regulator may receive the control signal and, in response, modify the flow rate to bring the flow rate closer to the desired flow rate.

A system for facilitating instrument delivery through a peripheral intravenous catheter may include a catheter adapter having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending there through. The catheter adapter may include a side port. The system may include an extension tube extending from the side port. The system may include a blood control valve disposed in the lumen of the catheter adapter. The system may include a peripheral intravenous catheter extending distally from the catheter adapter.

A device for coupling to a fluid connector of an IV administration set to resist contamination of the fluid connector and IV administration set and permit priming of the IV administration set. The device including a cover body having a cavity for receiving the fluid connector, a priming passage for priming fluid from the IV administration set through the fluid connector, and a coupling tab extending from the cover body, the coupling tab permitting the cover body to be coupled to a length of an IV line or other portion of the IV administration set to resist contamination and permit priming of the IV administration set.

A medicinal liquid supply control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a reservoir located on a second channel to define an internal space that stores a medicinal liquid, an inlet hole and an outlet hole being formed in one portion of an outer surface of the reservoir and connected to the internal space, and a reservoir support part on which the one portion of the reservoir is fixed, an inlet connection hole connected to the inlet hole and an outlet connection hole connected to the outlet hole being formed at the reservoir support part.

Disclosed is a hemostasis valve device including a connector including a first channel, a holder disposed at a first end of the connector and configured to communicate with the first channel, and a valve portion disposed at a second end of the connector and configured to selectively open or close the first channel. Here, the connector includes a first pipe including the first channel and a second pipe which diverges from a first point of the first pipe and includes a second channel configured to communicate with the first channel. Also, the first pipe includes a hole which allows the first channel to communicate with the outside. Here, the hemostasis valve device further includes an opening and closing portion disposed at the first pipe and configured to selectively open or close the hole. The hole is disposed between the first end and the first point.

A cap for a pre-filled syringe with a Luer-lock connector including a main body provided with a first handle portion and a second portion designed to be coupled to the Luer-lock connector, an axial cavity having an aperture at the second coupling portion formed in the main body; and a rubber housed within the axial cavity of said main body. The cap also includes a tapered portion, which is interposed between the first handle portion and the second coupling portion and is designed to air-tightly engage the Luer-lock connector, and the rubber has a surface facing the aperture of the axial cavity, the surface being designed to abut against an open free end of a tip of the pre-filled syringe for air-tightly closing the open free end.

A system for facilitating instrument delivery through a peripheral intravenous catheter may include a catheter adapter having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending there through. The catheter adapter may include a side port. The system may include an extension tube extending from the side port. The system may include a blood control valve disposed in the lumen of the catheter adapter. The system may include a peripheral intravenous catheter extending distally from the catheter adapter.
