A clamp (1) releases or blocks a fluid connection as desired. A clamping tube (3, 4, 5.1, 5.2, 7.1) of the clamp (1) includes a blocking fluid guide element (7.1) and two connecting fluid guide elements (3, 4). The blocking fluid guide element (7.1) is connected in a fluid-tight manner to the two connecting fluid guide elements (3, 4). A clamping unit of the clamp (1) includes two clamping components (8.1, 10.1, 8.2, 10.2). The blocking fluid guide element (7.1) is located between the two clamping components (8.1, 10.1, 8.2, 10.2). In a releasing state of the clamping unit, the blocking fluid guide element (7.1) establishes a fluid connection between the two connecting fluid guide elements (3, 4). In a blocking state, the two clamping components (8.1, 10.1, 8.2, 10.2) prevent a flow of fluid through the blocking fluid guide element (7.1).

DEVICE FOR CLAMPING AND HOLDING MEDICAL HOSE LINES
20230027003 · 2023-01-26 ·

A device for clamping and holding medical hose lines includes a hose clamp with two clamping legs on opposite sides of a passage. The passage is configured to receive a first hose portion. The clamping legs are movable between a clamping position, in which the clamping legs constrict the passage and clamp the first hose portion, and a release position in which the constriction is eliminated. The device also includes a holding clip connected to the hose clamp. The holding clip has two arms arranged opposite one another bordering a recess. The recess is configured to receive at least one second hose portion to be held between the arms. The arms are movable relative to one another between an open position, in which the arms expose a slot opening radially into the recess, and a holding position in which the slot is closed or at least constricted.

Flow stop device

A sensor system for a volumetric pump operating according to the linear peristalsis principle includes at least one sensor unit; at least one sensor transmitter unit; and a sensor output signal processing unit. The sensor transmitter unit is arranged to apply a detection variable varying as a function of a travel position to the sensor unit along a predetermined travel along which a fixedly arranged sensor unit and a movably arranged sensor transmitter unit or a movably arranged sensor unit and a fixedly arranged sensor transmitter unit are moving relative to each other. The sensor unit is configured to output a detection signal corresponding to a travel position on the basis of the varying detection variable. The sensor output signal processing unit is arranged to receive the detection signal output by the sensor unit and discriminate at least three travel positions on the basis of the received detection signal.

LEVERED IV FLOW REGULATION CLAMP ASSEMBLY

A levered flow regulation clamp assembly for adjusting the fluid flow rate in a connector tube of an infusion set is provided. The levered flow regulation clamp assembly includes a housing to receive the connector tube and a slider rotatably engaged within the housing and configured to compress the connector tube to provide a fluid flow adjustment. Infusion sets and methods of adjusting fluid flow rates are also provided.

Apparatus for directing light through an inner lumen of a body
11696961 · 2023-07-11 · ·

An assembly for redirecting light emitted by an end-emitting optical fiber into an inner lumen of a body is provided. According to one implementation, the body includes one or more surfaces disposed on or in the body onto which the light is configured to impinge when the end emitting optical fiber is activated, the one or more surfaces being configured to alter the trajectory of the light so that the light is directed to impinge on a light reflector of a cap removably attached to the body, the light reflector of the cap being configured to redirect the light distally into the inner lumen of the body.

Tactile features to guide user interaction with fluid connector

A fluid connector, including a fluid path portion having an integral cannula extending in a first direction from a interior surface, and a latching portion secured to the fluid path portion and having a pair of displaceable arms. Each arm includes a connector latch disposed at a first cantilevered end of the arm, and an activation lever disposed at an opposite cantilevered end of the arm and extending in a second direction, not parallel to the first direction. A portion of the activation lever includes a first lateral tactile feature aligned substantially parallel to the first direction to prevent forward slippage of the fluid connector from a user's grasp in the second direction, and a portion of the activation lever includes a lateral tactile feature aligned substantially parallel to the second direction to prevent slippage of the fluid connector from a user's grasp in the first direction.

Pinch clamp and mount

A pinch clamp and mount are provided. The pinch clamp includes a first member and second member including rounded pinch surfaces.
