    摘要: The invention relates to a catheter and a method of placing a catheter that includes a substantially tubular body portion having an outside diameter no less than the inside diameter of an opening in a catheter introducer adapted to insert a portion of the catheter into a patient's body. The catheter also includes a transition member portion adjacent to a first end of the tubular body portion. The transition member portion has an outside diameter that is less than the outside diameter of the tubular body portion and less than the inside diameter of the opening in the catheter introducer. The invention contemplates that the transition member can be coupled to the end of the tubular body portion, integrally formed with the body portion, or extends from the end of body portion and be removable from a distal end of the body portion. A benefit of the catheter including a transition member portion having an outside diameter that is less than the inside diameter of the opening in the catheter introducer is that it allows a means for inserting a through the introducer catheter which is larger than the inside diameter of the introducer. This provides the benefit of over-the-needle insertion with regard to needle size, but allows for a larger catheter to be placed in the vein by the subsequent removal of the introducer once the transition member portion is placed in the vein.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for vapor sterilization of articles such as medical devices and instruments with lumens. The lumens are connected in a sterilization chamber to a conduit which leads to an exhaust flow restrictor, which exhausts to a vacuum pump. The exhaust flow restrictor has a bypass also which exhausts to the vacuum pump. The majority of the gas from the sterilization chamber flows through the bypass on the exhaust flow restrictor while only a portion of the gas flows through the lumen. Because most of the gas flows through the bypass rather than through the lumens, the sterilization chamber can be pumped down rapidly. The attached lumens are sterilized effectively in spite of the rapid pumpdown rate.

    摘要: In a first process described a tapered catheter tip is molded by placing a tubular catheter over a mandrel and inserting the mandrel and catheter assembly into a mold having an inner mold surface. The molded catheter with flash is thereafter removed from the mold and the mandrel removed from the catheter. The catheter and flash are inserted into a jig which defines an opening through which the flash extends. The opening is defined by a cutting surface and the flash extends above such cutting surface. A cutter is then moved along the cutting surface in order to severe the flash at precisely the appropriate point along the catheter length to leave a formed trimmed catheter. The catheter is thereafter removed from the jig for further processing.

    摘要: The invention relates to an adjustable anchoring device to retain a catheter at a desired location inside a patient. The anchoring device includes a securing member with a body portion having an opening extending through the tubular body portion. The opening has a first dimension adapted to retain the catheter by frictionally engaging the catheter. The body portion of the securing member is dilatable to have an opening with a second dimension such that the securing member can slidably move about the catheter. The invention also relates to an anchoring device with a dilator member portion with a forward end wherein the forward end is adapted to detachably mate with the securing member through a portion of the opening of the securing member and to dilate the tubular body portion of the securing member from having an opening with the first dimension to have an opening with the second dimension.

    摘要: A needle assembly for use with a catheter. The needle assembly includes a valve disposed in a first shaft; the valve seals, when closed, fluid flow from a first side of the valve to a second side of the valve. The needle assembly further includes a needle system having a second shaft disposed parallel to the first shaft. The second shaft has a first dimension at a first position on the second shaft and has a second dimension at a second position on the second shaft. The second position corresponds to a position of the valve when the needle system is inserted into the valve such that the second position aligns with the position of the valve. In this manner, the valve is stressed less during storage when the needle system remains inserted through the valve. The valve is typically part of an introducer member which includes the first shaft and a flexible sheath which encloses a portion of the second shaft of the needle system.

    摘要: A failsafe supervisor system for a patient monitor which integrates the functions of coordinating the turning on/off of the patient monitor with the user and the system software, alerting the operator in the event the patient monitor turns off due to a power failure, and alerting the operator to improper operation of the patient monitor system's processor hardware or software. Upon detection of such unexpected changes of state or malfunctions during operation of the patient monitor, the patient monitor is powered down in a failsafe manner to a safe state. Additionally, the failsafe supervisor system optionally allows the operator to select a service mode when turning on the monitor, thereby facilitating testing. The entire failsafe supervisor system is preferably implemented in a small one-chip microcontroller so that it can be readily incorporated into the patient monitor's microprocessor control system.
