Abstract: A valve assembly for a medical device including a container including a first region and a second region, a first fluid inlet fluidly coupled to the first region, a second fluid inlet fluidly coupled to the second region, and a piston assembly disposed within the container. The container is configured to house an agent within the second region, the first fluid inlet is configured to deliver a first portion of pressurized fluid to the first region at a first pressure level, and the second fluid inlet is configured to deliver a second portion of pressurized fluid to the second region at a second pressure level that is less than the first pressure level. The piston assembly includes a valve configured to move from a first position to a second position in response to the piston assembly moving relative to the container.

Abstract: A valve assembly for a medical device that includes a piston configured to move relative to an enclosure of the medical device, the enclosure including a first region in fluid communication with an agent, and a second region in fluid communication with a source of fluid. The piston includes a chamber disposed on a sidewall of the piston which is configured to receive the agent. The piston is configured to move to a first position where the chamber is in fluid communication with the first region and not in fluid communication with the second region such that the agent is received within the chamber, and further configured to move to a second position where the chamber is in fluid communication with the second region and not in fluid communication with the first region, such that the agent within the chamber is mixed with the fluid received in the second region.

Abstract: A valve assembly that includes an inlet that is in fluid communication with an enclosure of a medical device, an outlet that is in fluid communication with a delivery conduit of the medical device, and a body having a channel that is in fluid communication with a source of fluid. The body is configured to move relative to the inlet and outlet to selectively fluidly couple the channel with the enclosure and delivery conduit. In a first position of the body, the channel is misaligned with at least one of the inlet or the outlet, such that the delivery conduit is not in fluid communication with at least one of the enclosure or the source of fluid. In a second position of the body, the channel is aligned with the inlet and outlet such that the delivery conduit is in fluid communication with the enclosure and the source of fluid.
