Abstract:
A DVET unit is disclosed that comprises a first syringe and a second syringe having a first plunger and a second plunger, adapted to execute a backward stroke and a forward stroke in the respective syringe. The DVET unit also includes a first valve and a second valve. Further, the first valve is closed and the second valve is opened to draw blood from the source and the specimen into the first syringe and the second syringe. Moreover, the first valve is opened and the second valve is closed to pump the blood, drawn during the backward stroke, from the first syringe and the second syringe into the specimen and the waste bin.
Abstract:
An injection system can have a Syringe Dose and Position Apparatus (SDPA) mounted to a syringe. The SDPA can have one or more circuit boards. The SDPA can include one or more sensors for determining information about an injection procedure, such as the dose measurement, injection location, and the like. The SDPA can also include a power management board, which can be a separate board than a board mounted with the sensors. The syringe can also include a light source in the needle. Light emitted from the light source can be detected by light detectors inside a training apparatus configured to receive the injection. The syringe can have a power source for powering the sensors and the light source. The SDPA and the power source can be mounted to the syringe flange.

Abstract:
A medical device rack in which a medical device is detachably mountable, the medical device rack including: a main body; and a mounting section provided in the main body, the mounting section being configured such that the medical device is detachably mountable in a posture oriented in a lateral direction. The mounting section includes a supporting portion configured to be detachably fitted to the medical device to support the medical device in a rotatable manner.
Abstract:
A pump device (10) operable with a syringe (11) having a barrel (12) and a plunger (13). The pump device (10) is operable to cause relative movement between the syringe plunger (13) and the syringe barrel (12) for discharging fluid from the syringe (11). The pump device (10) comprises a portion (31) adapted to engage the syringe barrel (12), and a drive mechanism for moving the syringe plunger (13) relative to the syringe barrel (12) to discharge fluid from the syringe (11). The drive mechanism comprises an actuator (45) adapted to engage the syringe plunger (13) and a power mechanism (61) for moving the actuator (45) to effect movement of the syringe plunger (13) relative to the syringe barrel (12). The pump device (10) thus provides a syringe driving means. There is also provided an infusion system comprising a syringe driving means, the syringe driving means comprising the pump device (10). Further, there is provided an infusion system comprising a syringe driving means operable to maintain a constant pressure within a syringe and tubing with viscosity corrections for various antibiotic concentrations.
Abstract:
A pump for pumping fluid includes a tube platen, a plunger, a bias member, inlet and outlet valves, an actuator mechanism, a position sensor, and a processor. The plunger is configured for actuation toward and away from the infusion-tube when the tube platen is disposed opposite to the plunger. The tube platen can hold an intravenous infusion tube. The bias member is configured to urge the plunger toward the tube platen.
Abstract:
A device for moving a piston inside a cartridge having a cartridge body and the piston displaceable along a longitudinal axis of the cartridge body is presented. The device comprises a first portion having first coupler for coupling the cartridge body to the first portion such that in both directions of the longitudinal axis, a connection exists between the cartridge body and the first portion; and a second portion having second coupler for coupling the piston to the second portion such that in both directions of the longitudinal axis, a connection exists between the piston and the second portion. The first and second portions move relative to each other to effect at least a forward displacement of the piston coupled to the second portion inside the cartridge body coupled to the first portion along the longitudinal axis. The second coupler establishes and releases the connection with the piston.
Abstract:
A combined detectional and positional sensor for a syringe pump. The sensor can comprise a syringe thumbpress clamp that is pivotable so that an engagement pin deflects a linear membrane potentiometer first circuit thus providing a closed switch for detection of a syringe in the pump and a variable signal return for indication of plunger head position. Embodiments of the sensor can be used in relatively large syringe pumps and in relatively small syringe pumps, for example.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and a method for receiving of a syringe in a fluid-dispensing apparatus without play, said apparatus having at least two elastically prestressable clamping means which grip the plunger flange of a syringe, such that an elongated hole is provided for each clamping means, the clamping means sliding in the elongated hole and thus executing a rotational movement and a translatory movement at the same time during the gripping operation. In addition, the invention relates to a method for doing so and a device having such an apparatus.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides devices for implanting tissue or other substances within the body. The devices can include a feedback mechanism, which can assist a surgeon in implanting the tissue or other substances by preventing excess shear force or pressure on the tissue or substance to be implanted.
