Dual lumen IV administration set
A dual lumen IV administration set includes a first lumen having an inner diameter of a first value. A second lumen is paired with the first lumen, and the second lumen has an inner diameter of a second value that is greater than the first value. A flow merger merges flow output from a distal end of the first lumen and flow output from a distal end of the second lumen to form a single flow output in an exit lumen. An injection port intersects the first lumen, thereby providing injection access to flow therethrough, prior to merging with the flow output of the second lumen.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A FILL VOLUME OF A FLUID CHAMBER
A system and method for determining the fill volume of a fluid chamber includes a fluid injector, at least one fluid chamber in fluid communication with the fluid injector, one or more sensors positioned relative to the at least one fluid chamber and configured to detect a position of a liquid-gas interface of the fluid contained in the at least one fluid chamber, and at least one processor in communication with the sensors and the fluid injector, and configured to: determine the position of the liquid-gas interface of the fluid, calculate the volume of fluid in the at least one fluid chamber based on the position of the liquid-gas interface, and at least one of: i) display the volume of the fluid; ii) enable the fluid injector to perform an action; and iii) disable the fluid injector from performing the action.
INFUSION SET
There is provided an infusion set capable of significantly reducing a period of time required for work of a worker during infusion. The infusion set includes a drip chamber, a tube which is connected to an outlet of the drip chamber, a roller clip which is provided in the tube, and an M clamp which is provided between the drip chamber and the roller clip in the tube and is used for storing liquid in the drip chamber. The tube has a first tube which can be mounted to an infusion pump device, a second tube which is connected to the outlet of the drip chamber and an inlet of the first tube, and a third tube which is connected to an outlet of the first tube. The M clamp is provided in the second tube, and the roller clip is provided in the third tube.
Infusion set for measuring vital signals of a patient comprising a compliance element and a reflective element
There is provided an IV infusion set comprising a patient access configured to connect to a vascular system of a patient, a source of medical fluid, an infusion line having one first end configured to connect to the source of medical fluid and one opposite second end configured to deliver the medical fluid towards the patient access, an infusion apparatus arranged on the infusion line, a sensor configured to emit a pressure signal indicative of a pressure of a medical fluid in the infusion line, and a control unit configured to receive the pressure signal and to determine a patient signal indicative of a vital signal of the patient based on the pressure signal. The IV infusion set further comprises a compliance element configured to attenuate pressure variations of medical fluid the infusion line, and a resistance element configured to reflect pressure waves moving along the infusion line. The sensor is arranged on the infusion line at a position downstream from the resistance element with respect to a direction of fluid flow along the infusion line from the medical fluid source towards the patient access. The infusion line may include a main infusion line and/or one or more auxiliary infusion lines connected to a main infusion line.

IV FLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
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.
DUAL LUMEN IV ADMINISTRATION SET
A dual lumen IV administration set includes a first lumen having an inner diameter of a first value. A second lumen is paired with the first lumen, and the second lumen has an inner diameter of a second value that is greater than the first value. A flow merger merges flow output from a distal end of the first lumen and flow output from a distal end of the second lumen to form a single flow output in an exit lumen. An injection port intersects the first lumen, thereby providing injection access to flow therethrough, prior to merging with the flow output of the second lumen.
INTRAVENOUS PRESSURE ASSEMBLY
An intravenous IV pressure assembly includes a body, an outlet port disposed on the body and a connector coupled to the outlet port, the connector being configured to couple with a fluid reservoir and the IV pressure assembly configured as a pressurized container. IV sets with an IV pressure assembly and methods of operating an IV pressure assembly are also provided.
ANCHORABLE MEDICAL FLUID EXTENSION SET SYSTEM
Medical fluid extension set systems are disclosed that can include a tubing anchor coupled to tubing and a fluid coupling device, and can be anchored to a patient to resist unintended separation of the tubing anchor or a catheter coupled to the tubing, from a patient, and to permit separation or disconnection of a fluid pathway between the tubing and another device coupled to thereto upon exceeding a pulling force on the fluid coupling device, and where disconnection includes separation of first and second valve assemblies such that a fluid pathway of the first and second valve assemblies is obstructed upon disconnection of the fluid coupling device.
Methods and systems for filling IV bags with therapeutic fluid
A portable electronic fluid dispensing system can provide pre-filled, pre-primed IV bag assemblies comprising therapeutic fluids. The same fluid line and connector in the IV bag assembly can be used to fill the IV bag as is used to withdraw fluid from the IV bag and infuse such fluid into the patient. The connection points along the IV assembly, such as the connection between the IV bag and a drip chamber, or between an IV bag and tubing, or between a drip chamber and tubing, or between tubing and a closeable, resealable connector, can each be resistant to disconnection by a user. The healthcare practitioner at the patient care site is not required to attach any of these components to each other, and the healthcare practitioner at the patient care site is not required to introduce a spike into a spike port on the IV bag.
