    Abstract: A drip chamber insert may include an elongate body portion comprising an upper surface, and a base portion positioned downstream of the elongate body portion for coupling to a drip chamber. The base portion may have an upper surface and a lower surface defining an outlet orifice of the drip chamber insert. The drip chamber insert may further include a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber may be disposed in the elongate body portion and fluidly coupled to the upper surface of the elongate body portion via an inlet orifice and to the outlet orifice via the base portion. An anti-run-dry membrane may be disposed on the upper surface of the elongate body portion extending over the inlet orifice. The second chamber may be disposed in the elongate body portion extending from the upper surface of the elongate body portion to the base portion. A low flowrate orifice may extend from a base of the second chamber into the base portion for fluidly coupling the second chamber with the outlet orifice.

    Abstract: IV stand assemblies are provided that include a base, a stand, a platform and a motorized pole assembly having a housing, a pole and a drive. The drive moves the pole to extend and retract the pole relative to the housing. A weight measurement assembly measures weight of a fluid within a fluid container hanging from the IV stand assembly. IV stand assemblies with a pulley/belt assembly and methods of operating IV assemblies are also provided.

    Abstract: A needleless connector may include a housing having a proximal end, a distal end, and an inner surface defining an internal cavity extending between the proximal and distal ends. A compressible valve may be disposed within the internal cavity. The compressible valve may include a head portion, a flange portion for securing the compressible valve in the housing, and a body portion extending between the head portion and the flange portion. The body portion may include a cylindrical outer surface having an external notch extending along a portion of a circumference of the cylindrical outer surface and recessed radially-inward from the cylindrical outer surface. The body portion may further include a planar face extending distally from the external notch and disposed between the external notch and the flange portion. The planar face may be recessed radially inward relative to at least a portion of the cylindrical outer surface.

    Abstract: In-line filter devices are described herein. An in-line filter device includes an inlet portion, an outlet portion, a first filter housing, a first flow path, and a first filter media. The first filter housing defining a first filter volume. The first flow path is defined between the inlet portion and the first filter volume to provide fluid communication between the inlet portion and the first filter volume. The second flow path is defined between the first filter volume and the outlet portion to provide fluid communication between the first filter volume and the outlet portion. The first filter media is disposed within the first filter volume, wherein the first filter media permits flow from the first flow path to the second flow path and captures particulate from the flow.

    Abstract: IV filters are described herein. An IV filter includes a body, a filter media, and a bulb. The body defines a body volume. The filter media is disposed within the body volume. The filter media defines an inlet portion of the body volume and an outlet portion of the body volume. The filter media permits inlet flow from the inlet portion of the body volume to the outlet portion of the body volume and captures particulate from the inlet flow. The bulb defines a bulb volume in fluid communication with the outlet portion of the body volume. The bulb is deformable to compress the bulb volume and direct back flow from the outlet portion of the body volume through the filter media and into the inlet portion of the body volume, displacing particulate captured in the filter media into the inlet portion of the body volume.
