20100274179 | Injection Syringe Plunger Valve Assembly - A syringe system having a syringe with a body and a hollow barrel chamber, and a plunger shaft slidable in the barrel chamber, and a needle body adapted for holding a needle. The syringe system includes a valve housing having a valve guide chamber therein, where the valve guide chamber has an input port fluidly connectable to a fluid pressurizing means, a storage port in fluid communication with the barrel chamber, and a discharge port in fluid communication with the needle body. A valve body is contained in the valve housing. The valve body includes a valve plunger slidable in the valve guide chamber, and a biasing member coupled to the valve plunger at a first end of the biasing member. The plunger shaft is slidable to a first position and second position in the valve guide chamber, where the dispensing port and the storage empty port is closed and said input port and said storage fill port are opened in the first position, where the input port and the storage fill port is closed and said storage empty port and said discharge port are opened in the second position. | 10-28-2010 |
20100234812 | Fluid Recovery System - With the use of a selectable fluid path assembly, the recovery and cleaning of the liquid path line is possible. Selecting the primary use path permits a syringe assembly to be filled with fluid in a positive pressure supplied fluid system. When the secondary fluid path is selected, the fluid in the line can be reversed and with negative pressure pulled back through the line up to the pump motor and moved back into the bottle. With air following the liquid a bubble can be detected and stop the fluid reversal. With the use of a selectable fluid path assembly, the prevention of contamination of the remaining liquid in the bottle can be prevent through proper use of the fluid recovery system. | 09-16-2010 |
20100016796 | Syringe Mechanism for Detecting Syringe Status - The syringe includes a body portion having an interior barrel chamber. The chamber has a fill port and a discharge port. An injection needle will be fluidly connected to the discharge port in use. The syringe includes a handle, having one portion that is moveable. Slidable in the barrel chamber is a plunger shaft, having a plunger on its terminal end. The trigger is operationally connected to the plunger shaft, so that movement of the trigger (or activation of the trigger in an electronic trigger embodiment) results in a corresponding movement of the plunger shaft. Connecting to the syringe are the fluid line, and a communications cable. Communications cable will include a power lead, if needed, and communications lines for communication between the syringe and the various computers. | 01-21-2010 |
