Gravity fed dialysis systems and methods
A gravity fed peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) machine includes: a frame configured to be set on a supporting surface; at least one load cell; a scale platform supported by the frame via the at least one load cell positioned between the frame and the scale platform; a drain container support in mechanical communication with and extending downwardly from the scale platform, the machine configured such that when the frame is set on the supporting surface, at least one fresh PD fluid supply container is supportable by the scale platform above the at least one load cell and at least one used PD fluid drain container is supportable by the drain container support below the at least one load cell, so that a combined weight of fresh PD fluid and used PD fluid may be sensed by the at least one load cell.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A POSITION OF A GUIDE CATHETER SUPPORT
A catheter procedure system includes a base and a robotic mechanism having a longitudinal axis and being movable relative to the base along the longitudinal axis. The robotic mechanism includes a robotic drive base including at least one drive mechanism, a cassette operatively secured to the robotic drive base, a rigid guide coupled to the cassette and fixed relative to the robotic mechanism and a flexible track having a distal end, a proximal end and a plurality of reflective sections. At least a portion of the flexible track is disposed within the rigid guide. The robotic mechanism also includes a position detector mounted to the robotic drive base and positioned beneath the flexible track. The position detector is configured to detect light reflected off of the reflective sections of the flexible track and to determine the position of the distal end of the flexible track based on the detected reflected light.
Exit Path Connector for Catheter Assembly
A catheter assembly includes an outer shaft having an outer shaft body forming an outer shaft bore that receives an inner shaft. The outer shaft has a wire transition section. The catheter assembly includes an exit path connector coupled to the outer shaft body at the wire transition section. The exit path connector has a rigid body section separate and discrete from the outer shaft body and coupled to the outer shaft body. The body section defines an exit path connector bore that receives the inner shaft. The body section has a side exit port at a side of the body section being open to the exit path connector bore. The catheter assembly includes a catheter wire passing through the side exit port from an interior to an exterior of the cable exit port.
Sterile solutions product bag
A sterile solution product bag includes sterilization grade filter integrated directly into the product bag such that microbial and particulate matter filtration can be performed using the filter directly at the point of fill. The filter can include a hollow fiber filter membrane contained in a stem connected to a bladder of the product bag.
Delivery system and method for the effective, reliable and foolproof delivery of controlled amounts of a medical fluid
A method for performing a medical procedure requiring effective, reliable and foolproof delivery of controlled amounts of a medical grade gas to a patient includes providing a compressed gas cylinder having a weight with medical grade gas sealed therein of at least twelve grams and not greater than fifty grams. The method also includes connecting the compressed gas cylinder to an integrated compressed gas unit including a regulator valve assembly positioned between an outlet port and an inlet port, wherein the regulator valve assembly includes a press button actuator and regulator adjustment dial. A flow control system is secured to the compressed gas unit and the medical grade gas is delivered in precisely controlled amounts by actuating the compressed gas unit and operating the flow control system to deliver the medical grade gas to vasculature of the patient.
Fluid mixing set
A fluid mixing device for mixing a first injection fluid and a second injection fluid includes a first fluid inlet, a second fluid inlet, a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the first and second fluid inlets, and an outlet port in fluid communication with the mixing chamber. The first fluid inlet is configured to conduct the first injection fluid in a first direction and has a first redirecting surface. The second fluid inlet is configured to conduct the second injection fluid in a second direction along a different axis from the first direction and has a second redirecting surface. The mixing chamber is configured to mix the first injection fluid and the second fluid together. The mixture of the first injection fluid and the second injection fluid exits the fluid mixing device via the outlet port.
Tube connector for medical treatment
Disclosed is a tube connector for medical treatment including a housing including an internal channel configured to allow an inflow pipe disposed at the front end thereof and an outflow pipe disposed at the rear end thereof to fluidly communicate with each other, an insertion hole formed from the outer surface of the rear end of the housing to the internal channel, and at least one branch pipe disposed so as to fluidly communicate with the internal channel, a push button having a through hole, the push button being disposed in the insertion hole so as to be movable upwards and downwards, and an elastically deformable dome-shaped balloon configured to surround the insertion hole of the housing, the lower part of the balloon being open, wherein the internal channel of the housing is opened and closed through the upward and downward movement of the push button.
LUER CONNECTOR
A slip luer assembly includes a hub member and a latch member coupled to the hub member. The hub member includes an outer hub surface, and inner hub surface and a window surface. The window surface defines a window extending from the outer hub surface to the inner hub surface. The latch member includes at least one blade. The latch member is configured to be actuated between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the at least one blade is not positioned within the window of the hub member. In the second position, the at least one blade is positioned at least partially within the window of the hub member.
Integrated Catheter System with Near Patient Access Port
An integrated catheter system includes a catheter adapter including a catheter and an inlet, the catheter configured to be inserted into a patient's vasculature, a needle-free connector including a first port, a second port positioned opposite the first port, and a side port positioned between the first port and the second port, the second port including a valve member, intermediate tubing extending between the inlet of the catheter adapter and the first port of the needle-free connector, and extension tubing extending from the side port of the needle-free connector, where the needle-free connector includes chlorhexidine.
THREE-WAY UROLOGY CATHETER STOPCOCK AND UROLOGY CATHETER STOPCOCK ASSEMBLY
A three-way urology catheter stopcock includes a stopcock body defining a longitudinally extending fluid flow passage, the body having three connector mounting openings in a wall thereof, an on/off selector movably mounted within the fluid flow passage of the body, the on/off selector including a longitudinally extending, cylindrical selector body having an open end, a closed end, and three fluid flow openings in a wall of the selector body, wherein the closed second end includes one of a plurality of fluid flow indicator members and fluid flow indicia, two first connectors mounted in opposing connector mounting openings of the stopcock body, and a second connector mounted in the connector mounting opening that is between the openings in which the two first connectors are mounted.
