    摘要: A disclosed antimicrobial medical device includes a fluid transfer device configured to couple between a patient and a fluid reservoir, a fluid pathway extending through the fluid transfer device, a first electrode coupled to the fluid transfer device, and a second electrode coupled to the fluid transfer device and spaced apart from the first electrode. The first electrode includes a first conductive material and the second electrode includes a second conductive material different from the first conductive material. The second electrode is configured to form a galvanic cell with the first electrode.

    摘要: Medical tube can have a continuous inner layer having a continuous outer layer thereon, in which the inner layer includes a polyolefin such as a polyethylene or polypropylene or a functionalized polyolefin. The outer layer can include a thermoplastic polymer such as one or more of, or a blend including, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a thermoplastic olefin (TPO), a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), a styrene-containing thermoplastic elastomer (S-TPE), a polyolefin elastomer (POE), a styrenic blocking copolymer (SBC). Advantageously, the outer layer and/or the inner layer do not include polyvinyl chloride. Such tubing can be readily solvent bonded to medical connectors and used with infusion sets.

    摘要: A check valve includes a housing that includes an inlet port, an outlet port, and a valve chamber. The inlet port extends from a ceiling of the valve chamber to an outer surface of the housing. The outlet port extends from a floor of the valve chamber to the outer surface of the housing. The check valve further includes a valve member supported within the chamber. The valve includes a valve head. When an upstream pressure is applied to the valve, the valve head is configured to deflect away from the ceiling of the valve chamber and unseal the inlet port. When a downstream pressure is applied to the valve, the valve head is configured to deflect away from the floor of the valve chamber and seal the inlet port such that the valve head conforms to a shape of the ceiling of the valve chamber.

    摘要: A self-compensating chucking device may be provided. The chucking device may form a portion of a latching door handle of a door of an infusion pump. The door and a housing of the infusion pump may form a clam-shell clamp that secures infusion tubing to pumping mechanisms of the infusion pump. The latching door handle may include a latching door mechanism that includes a tapered pin. The tapered pin may extend through an outer portion of a door housing, an opening in a handle of the door, and into an opening in an inner portion of the door housing. The opening in the handle of the door may have a tapered inner surface that corresponds to the taper the tapered pin to form the chucking device. The pin may include a groove configured to accept an E-clip that retains the tapered pin within the door housing.

    摘要: A circular roller clamp assembly includes a semi-circular housing configured to receive a portion of an IV tube, a motor and a motor arm coupled to the motor. A roller is coupled to the roller arm, the roller movably received by a guide groove disposed in the semi-circular housing. A flow rate of fluid flowing through the IV tube is regulated based on roller impingement of the IV tube against a tube channel in the guide groove via circumferential movement of the roller along the guide groove. IV sets with circular roller clamp assemblies and methods of operating circular roller clamp assemblies are also provided.

    摘要: A medical device includes one or more processors and memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the medical device to monitor, using one or more sensors, a geofence parameter of the medical device; determine a change in a location setting of the medical device based on the geofence parameter; automatically switch, responsive to the changed location setting, an operation mode of the medical device from a first mode currently programmed for care of a patient to a second mode, the second mode using different parameters than the first mode to control the medical device; and restrict access to an element of the medical device in the second mode that is accessible in the first mode. An infusion pump and methods of using a medical device are also provided.
