    摘要: A reagent cartridge for reacting a soluble reagent with a fluid diluent is disclosed having a fluid inlet for accepting a diluent and fluid outlet for expelling a solution. The cartridge casing also has fluid manifolds adjacent to the inlet and the outlet for directing fluid in a radial direction from the inlet to the outlet. The casing further defines a receptacle for a soluble reagent. A volumetric compensation means for volumetrically compensating for dissolution of the reagent upon introduction of the diluent into the fluid inlet is provided. The volumetric compensation means can take the form of a resilient sponge material having a compressed volume and an expanded volume, wherein the expanded volume is up to at least 500% of the compressed volume. The volumetric compensation means can also take the form of resilient coil springs. In other embodiments, a fluid permeable pressure plate is positioned adjacent to a free end of the coil spring and the reagent is positioned against the pressure plate. A method for obtaining injectable quality intravenous solutions in the field using the reagent cartridge is also disclosed.

    摘要: A microinjection system comprises a device for housing dried forms of medical reagents, such as vaccines, hormones, etc. in single doses. Within a single chamber, a dry reagent bed is provided adjacent a compression component that keeps the bed compacted. In operation, diluent flows through the chamber to carry the reagent out of the chamber in fluid form. In the illustrated embodiments, the fluid carrying reagent is directly delivered from the chamber via a needle. Integral or connectable diluent delivery devices are disclosed for providing an appropriate volume of diluent to the reagent chamber. Unstable formulations of drugs, for example, can be safely stored in dry form. When injection is needed, the drug can be delivered almost instantly in fluid form simply by releasing diluent through the chamber, where the reagent bed is dissolved or suspended while the remaining reagent is continually compacted. The resultant fluid contains a single dose of the reagent and is delivered directly to a patient, desirably without measurement of the fluid form.

    摘要: Several improvements are disclosed for a drug delivery pack with dry reagent in a housing, each of which can be employed independently or in conjunction with others of the improvements. A novel spring is provided with two spring columns extending in parallel between a spring top and a spring bottom. The spring is particularly designed for fitting within the housing and compacting a dry reagent bed. A plunger mechanism to ratchet housing portions between two positions. In one position, a compression component adjacent the reagent bed is relatively uncompressed, such that it does not “set” over time. When the user is about to use the drug delivery device, the plunger is slid to compress the compression component so that it exerts pressure on the reagent bed. A similar sliding mechanism can also divert a stream of diluent through the housing from a priming path, where diluent bypasses the reagent bed, to a functional path passing through and eroding the reagent bed. Additionally, a method is provided for lyophilizing a liquid form of reagent within the housing from which it is to be delivered, thereby avoiding separate lyophilization and separate loading of dry form of the reagent.

    摘要: An apparatus and methods are disclosed for purifying fluid, such as potable water, to quality levels suitable for medical application, particularly to applications involving injection of the fluid into a human body. The apparatus comprises a portable purification pack constructed for a single use. The pack houses depth filtration, activated carbon, mixed bed ion exchange resins and terminal filtration stages in series. The terminal filter comprises a fine (microfiltration or ultrafiltration), permeable membrane, treated with an endotoxin-binding chemistry. In contrast with semi-permeable osmotic membranes, the permeable membrane produces high flow rates at relatively low pressures, while still safely purifying fluid to injection quality.

    摘要: A vehicle includes a body structure that is suspended from a chassis of the vehicle by a vehicle body suspension system. The vehicle body suspension system is constructed in a manner to allow relative movement to occur between the suspended body structure and the chassis in such a manner to at least partially isolate the suspended body structure from the vibrations and accelerations of the chassis. The vehicle body suspension system includes one or more spring/damper components that comprise an elastomer body that is surrounded and, therefore, reinforced by a reinforcing wall constructed of a relatively rigid material. The vehicle body suspension system may utilize one or more of the reinforced elastomer block spring/damper components as bump stops and/or primary spring/damper components.
