  • Patent number: 9724030
    Abstract: A fluid handling device includes a receiving container with a piston arranged therein in a displaceable manner, such that the volume of a fluid receiving reservoir may be changed by a displacement of the piston. In addition, the fluid handling device includes an actuation mechanism configured to displace a carrier bearing upon actuation of the former. Finally, the fluid handling device includes a spring mechanism configured to transfer a force from the carrier bearing to the piston so as to effect, in response to displacement of the carrier bearing in a first direction, a displacement of the piston within the receiving container such that a volume of the fluid reservoir is increased.

  • Patent number: 7373826
    Abstract: A fluid pressure measurement unit is manufactured by steps of providing a measurement element with a measurement chip arranged on a first chip carrier side and a plurality of socket-shaped terminal contacts for contacting contact terminals of the measurement chip, the socket-shaped terminal contacts protruding from a second chip carrier side opposite from the chip carrier first side; providing a housing element comprising a plurality of receiving holes in a housing element first side which are implemented to receive the socket-shaped terminal contacts when combining the housing element with the measurement element, wherein the receiving holes extend from the housing element first side to a housing element second side opposite from the housing element first side; and combining the measurement element and the housing element, wherein the second chip carrier side is opposite from the housing element first side and the socket-shaped terminal contacts are arranged in the receiving holes.

  • Publication number: 20060278293
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure measuring line, particularly for invasive blood pressure measurement, which presents a wall made of a flexible material, which surrounds a passageway. The wall consists particularly of at least one inner hose and an outer hose enveloping the former, where the material of the inner hose is harder than the material of the outer hose, and the wall thickness of the inner hose is less than the wall thickness of the outer hose. The inner side of the outer hose is in full-surface contact with the outer side of the inner hose.

  • Patent number: 6916010
    Abstract: The medical regulating valve for adjusting the flow in an infusion or transfusion procedure has a housing (2), and a valve chamber (21) into which an inlet connecting piece and an outlet connecting piece (22, 23) open. A rotating piece has a cylindrical valve plug (41) which can be inserted in the valve chamber (21) to form a seal between the plug and the chamber. The valve plug, has, on its outer periphery, at least one groove (42, 43) opposite the connecting pieces (22, 23) connecting the connecting pieces with one another in terms of flow and having a cross-section changing in the peripheral direction. An insert (3) having the shape of an annular disc overlaps the valve chamber (21) and has, on its side facing the rotating piece (4), a number of markings (35, 36, 37) lying on concentric circles. Provided on the rotating piece (4) are a number of windows (45, 46, 47) which are offset with respect to each other in the peripheral and radial directions, each being opposite one of the markings (35, 36, 37).
