20130138041 | User Interface and Controls for a Pump Device - A pump system selectably and dynamically controls the flow rate of a fluid being delivered to a patient's body over a wide range of flow rates. The pump system includes an infusion tubing, a pumping mechanism, a motor drive assembly in mechanical communication with the pumping mechanism, a user input control, and an electronic controller in electrical communication with and at least partially controlling the motor drive assembly. The electronic controller include a digital signal processing controller in electrical communication with the motor drive assembly that is configured to receive a signal from the user input control and to cause power to be supplied to the motor drive assembly in response at least partially to the signal from the user input control. The pump system may selectably deliver fluid at rates from about 1 milliliter per hour to at least about 3000 milliliters per minute. | 05-30-2013 |
20100130957 | Collapsible Fluid Reservoir - Described is a collapsible fluid reservoir that may be expanded during use and collapsible to lie substantially flat when not in use. According to one embodiment, a collapsible fluid reservoir can include a substantially non-rigid container having a substantially open proximal end and a substantially sealed distal end opposite the proximal end defining a cavity therein, wherein the distal end includes at least one fluid outlet port extending therethrough. The collapsible fluid reservoir can also include a substantially rigid cap affixed to the proximal end of the non-rigid container and including at least one fluid inlet port extending therethrough and in fluid communication with the cavity. | 05-27-2010 |
20090245765 | Fluid Heat Exchanger - The present invention relates to a system for increasing the temperature of a fluid being infused into a patient's body while the infusion is taking place. The present invention also provides for improved monitoring of air in the infusion system such to prevent the introduction of air into the patient's body receiving the fluid infusion. The present invention also provides for a system pump which provides a variable flow rate that serves a vast amount of infusion needs and purposes. A disposable cartridge in accordance with the present invention will allow for the efficient transfer of heat energy to the fluid being infused into the patient's body. The cartridge will further ensure that deleterious amounts of air will not be introduced into the patient's body. | 10-01-2009 |
