Abstract:
The invention is a delivery system including a delivery assembly configured to allow delivery of a single dose of a therapeutic agent (e.g., vaccine, drug, medicament, etc.) from a blow-fill-seal (BFS) vial to a patient. The delivery assembly includes a modular design consisting of separately constructed components cooperatively arranged and coupled to one another. The modular construction allows for rapid manufacturing reconfigurations of one or more components with minimal costs to create new delivery assembly configurations that meet specific needs (i.e., different modes of delivery depending on agent to be delivered, such as subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, intravenous injection, spray, or droplet delivery). The delivery assembly is configured to be filled on-site and in the field and is further capable of delivery of the agent in a controlled manner and without requiring specialized skill in administering delivery of such agent.
Abstract:
A drip chamber (1) for administering enteral nutrition or another medical fluid comprises: a body (10) forming a chamber (100) and having an inlet end (101) and an outlet end (103), a spike element (14) arranged at the inlet end (101) of the body (10) and forming an inlet (20) for letting a medical fluid into the chamber (100), an outlet (11) arranged at the outlet end (103) and being connectable to a tube (3) for letting a medical fluid out of the chamber (100), and a connection element (15) rotatably arranged on the spike element (14) for releasably connecting the drip chamber (1) to a connector (2). A cap element (13) is connected to the body (10) for closing off the body (10) at the inlet end (101), the cap element (13) being integrally formed with the spike element (14). In this way, a drip chamber is provided which allows for an easy, reliable, cost-efficient production of the drip chamber, including the mounting of the rotatable connection element on the spike element.
Abstract:
A priming system including a resilient chamber having flexible walls and a first check valve in a first fluid pathway between the resilient chamber and a fluid reservoir such that a fluid flows through the first check valve only in a direction from the fluid reservoir toward the resilient chamber and the fluid returns to the fluid reservoir through a second fluid pathway between the resilient chamber and the fluid reservoir upon compression of the walls of the resilient chamber.
Abstract:
A method for checking a faultless joint between a first and a second component (4, 2) of a medical device (1), namely a drip chamber (4) and a spike (2), wherein the first component has an annular coupling edge (5) facing downwardly to be sprayed interiorly with a liquid solvent. The solvent is mixed with a tracer detectable through ultraviolet or infrared light and the coupling edge (5) is illuminated with a ultraviolet or infrared light so as to make an image of the sprayed solvent, which is reflected and captured by an electronic scanning device (8) configured to establish whether such image is faultless, visible through a tracer.

Abstract:
A device for transferring fluids includes a piercing member having a distal end and a proximal end and defines a longitudinal fluid channel. An opening is positioned at the distal end of the piercing member with the opening in fluid communication with the longitudinal fluid channel. Further, a sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end includes an extended position where the sleeve surrounds the piercing member and a retracted position where the sleeve is retracted from the distal end of the piercing member. The sleeve defines an opening at the distal end of the sleeve with a gap defined between the retractable sleeve and the piercing member.
Abstract:
A fluid connector assembly. The fluid connector assembly includes a tab portion including a slot; a plug portion slidably connected to the tab portion the plug portion comprising a fluid path and a disc, the disc configured to seat within the slot; a catch feature located on a first end of the tab portion and configured to interact with a reservoir; and a latching feature located on a second end of the tab portion, the latching feature configured to interact and lock onto the reservoir, wherein force applied to the plug portion may overcome a threshold force and unseat the disc from the slot wherein the plug portion moves with respect to the tab portion.
