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.
IV SET COMPONENT WITH PRIMING FUNCTION
Drip chambers, burettes and other IV set components are described herein. An IV set component described herein comprises a chamber body, an inlet portion, and a disk valve. The chamber body defines a chamber volume and an outlet. The chamber volume is in fluid communication with the outlet. The inlet portion is coupled to the chamber body, the inlet portion defining an inlet, a priming port, a drip port. The inlet is in fluid communication with the priming port and the drip port, and the priming port and the drip port are each in fluid communication with the chamber volume. The disk valve is coupled to the inlet portion. The disk valve is movable to direct flow from the inlet to the priming port in a first position and to direct flow from the inlet to the drip port in a second position.
ANTI-BUBBLE INFUSION DRIP CHAMBER
The present invention discloses an anti-bubble infusion drip chamber. The anti-bubble infusion drip chamber comprises a drip chamber main body; the drip chamber main body has an upper portion and a lower portion, namely a drip chamber portion arranged on the upper portion and a filtering portion arranged on the lower portion; the filtering portion is provided with a liquid storage cavity communicated with an inner cavity of the drip chamber portion, and a liquid medicine filter and an air filter which are arranged on two sides of the liquid storage cavity; a liquid medicine flow channel is arranged on the side wall of the filter and is provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet; the liquid inlet is formed above the liquid outlet; a liquid medicine filter membrane is arranged between the liquid inlet of the flow channel and the liquid storage cavity; and an air filter is arranged on the drip chamber main body on at least one side of the filter membrane. A horizontally-placed liquid medicine filter membrane in the traditional drip chamber can cause unsmooth flow of liquid medicine due to surface tension of the liquid medicine and accumulation of impurities. By making an improvement on the drip chamber, the liquid medicine filter membrane is vertically or obliquely arranged, so that on one hand, the impurities can be prevented from being accumulated on the surface of the filter membrane, and on the other hand, the surface tension of the liquid medicine can be destroyed.
Infusion Adapter
An infusion adapter for connection with an infusion fluid container includes a connection portion configured to engage an injection port of an infusion fluid container, and a port configured to connect to an intravenous line, with the port in fluid communication with the connection portion. The connection portion includes a retaining ring extending radially outward from the connection portion, with the retaining ring configured to securely connect the infusion adapter to the infusion fluid container to substantially prevent disconnection of the infusion adapter from the infusion fluid container once the infusion adapter is connected to the infusion fluid container. The retaining ring includes an indicator configured to provide visualization of insertion of the connection portion into an injection port of an infusion fluid container.
Syringes
Embodiments of this invention provide syringes calibrated for use with a predetermined liquid medication having an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) at a particular weight per unit volume (w/v) concentration. Such syringes comprising a plunger and a barrel are configured such that the plunger, and/or an end portion of the plunger, is sealingly receivable through an opening at one end the barrel and within the barrel and slidingly moveable lengthwise within the barrel. This configuration allows formation of a reservoir inside the barrel into which the liquid medication may be loaded through an intake opening for the liquid medication at the other end of the barrel. Syringe barrels according to this invention possess line increments that form two or more graduated scales of API weight dosages extending lengthwise along the barrels. The increment lines provide for highly precise and accurate measurement of fine-increment weight dosages of the API.

DILUTION AND DRIP CHAMBER
“DILUTION AND DRIP CHAMBER”, for the preparation and administration of injectable solutions for use with a plastic bag (31) with open-and-close valve (33), infusion equipment (32) and syringe (28) with male luer-lock terminal (8); the chamber (30) comprises semi-rigid and transparent plastic tube sector (12), closed by top (16) and bottom (17) covers; on the wall surface (18) of the cover (16) there is an air filter (19) and tubular extension (35) with terminal (8) and cover (34); the tube sector (12) has volumetric scale (14); the bottom cover (17) have tubular extension (37) starting from the base wall (25) in which a conical base (46) of the valve (33) and female luer-lock terminal (45) is inserted; in the upper portion (42) of the outer body (41) of the cover (34) there are radial ribs (43); from the center of the cover (34) a hollow plastic tube (44) goes beyond the base of the cover (34), ending as terminal (45).
System and Method for Priming an Intravenous Line
A system for priming an intravenous line includes a closed system transfer device having a first connector and a second connector, a connector device having a first connector and a second connector, a collection device having a first connector, a cannula having a distal end, and a sleeve having a first position where the distal end of the cannula is positioned within the sleeve and a second position where the distal end of the cannula is positioned outside of the sleeve, and at least one collection container having a closure. The collection container defines a volume having a negative pressure, with the cannula of the collection device configured to pierce the closure of the collection container.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTI-MODAL DOSING DEVICE
Provided is a system and method for multi-modal dosing of a product. The system provides a control base for coupling to one of a plurality of different cartridges containing product, at least two cartridges having different modalities of deliverythe coupled control base and selected cartridge providing a dosing device. Each cartridge has at least a unique identifier, which may be read by the control base and correlated through a database to confirm that the user is authorized to use the cartridge, and use of the cartridge for a dose of product will not conflict with other products received by the user and known to the system. Cartridges that are not coupled to the control base are non-functional and cannot dispense product as intended with the system. An associated method of use is also provided.
