Abstract: A syringe stabilizing apparatus has a base and a syringe support. The syringe support is vertically disposed above the base, elevating a fluid-filled portion of an infusion set vertically above the base and orienting a delivery end of the fluid-filled portion upwardly relative to a horizontal plane to take advantage of a gravitational effect on a fluid during delivery of the fluid from the fluid-filled portion to a patient. The syringe support comprises a first retainer and a selectively actuated tube clamp. The first retainer has an opening in which a rigid portion of the infusion set is received and retained therein without further user intervention. The selectively actuated tube clamp is operatively aligned with the first retainer. A flexible tube extending from the rigid portion of the infusion set extends through the selectively actuated tube clamp.

Abstract: A container unit may be used to facilitate administrations of multiple medicinal fluids to a patient. A container unit may include a first container, a second container, and a carrier which holds the first container and the second container stationary relative to each other. The carrier may include a lip configured to engage a pooling device to secure the container unit to the pooling device. The carrier may also include a slot configured to engage an insert on the pooling device to guide the container unit as the container unit is secured to the pooling device. The carrier may also include a first portion and second portion with different shapes that are complementary to a shape of a port on the pooling device. The carrier may also include an extension which extends in a direction away from one of the first container to a level at least even with a stopper disposed in the first container.

Abstract: A device is provided for pooling a fluid from a container unit having at least one container, and includes an inlet port having at least one inlet channel configured for receiving the fluid or ambient air, and an outlet port having at least one outlet channel configured for delivering the fluid to an attachment. Both inlet and outlet ports are disposed on the device. A cavity is provided for accommodating insertion of the container unit for pooling the fluid from the at least one container. At least one spike is disposed in the cavity and configured for puncturing a stopper of the at least one container when the container unit transitions from an upper position to a lower position.

Abstract: A medicinal fluid pooling device may be used to pool multiple containers of medicinal fluid to facilitate administration of the medicinal fluid to a patient. A medicinal pooling device may include spikes covered by spike sheaths which are pierced when a container of medicinal fluid is inserted into the medicinal pooling device. The medicinal pooling device may also include a cover configured to cover the spikes. The medicinal pooling device may also include a fluidic interface which may be used to fluidly connect the medicinal pooling device to an infusion pump or syringe.

Abstract: An infusion pump which may include a control unit and a pump engine may be used to facilitate administration of medicinal fluids to a patient. A control unit may include a motor, a controller, a housing, and a motor coupling, where the motor coupling includes two protruding motor coupling tabs extending in a direction parallel to an output shaft of the motor. A pump engine may include a housing, a rotor disposed in the housing, and a pump coupling, where the pump coupling includes at least two protruding pump coupling tabs extending in a direction parallel to an input shaft of the rotor. The controller may be configured to change an operational mode of the infusion pump, where when the infusion pump is in a positioning mode, the controller activates the motor to move the output shaft to a predetermined angular position.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a vial adapter for interconnecting a vial and a fluid delivery device, and, more particularly, to a vial adapter having 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 vial adapter configurations that meet specific needs.
