Patent number: 11197802Abstract: A vial adaptor comprises first and second housings coupled to each other, a sheath enclosing the first and second housings, and a spike disposed in the first and second housings. The first and second housings form a first chamber therein. The sheath and the first and second housings form therebetween a second chamber in air communication with the first chamber. The second housing is slidable relative to the first housing to cause the spike piercing through a front stopper to establish air and fluid communication with a vial attached to the vial adaptor, meanwhile to vary the volume of the first chamber and press the air into the second chamber. Upon a fluid being drawn from the vial, the air in the first and second chambers enters the vial to compensate the pressure reduction caused by the fluid drawn out to prevent fluid spillage or aerosolizing from the vial.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: EPIC MEDICAL PTE. LTD.Inventor: Freddie Eng Hwee Lee

Publication number: 20180207352Abstract: A fluid control apparatus comprises a housing; an inlet and an outlet coupled to the housing. A first flow path and a second flow path each having a front end connected to the inlet and a back end connected to the outlet to establish fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet through the first flow path and the second flow path. A flow controller is coupled to the second flow path, and a reservoir is in fluid communication with the second flow path via the flow controller. The flow controller is operable to fill fluid from the inlet to the reservoir, and to supply fluid from the reservoir to the outlet to provide a dose of supplementary medication to a patient. The apparatus may include a flow selector coupled to the first flow path to vary the flow rate of the fluid passing through the first flow path.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2018Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Freddie Eng Hwee Lee, Withawin Wongdee

Patent number: 9839746Abstract: This invention relates to a fluid delivery apparatus, system and method, in particular the use of elastic bands to generate the force required to push fluid out from a container. The fluid that is delivered from the container maybe prefilled and stored prior to its actuation by the elastic band driver or it could be filled just before use. In one embodiment disclosed, a prefilled option would require the user to attach an appropriate extension tubing that acts as a flow control tube to the fluid container which in one embodiment is tubular shaped. In the application where the device is filled just before use, the fluid container that would be engaged with the actuating housing is presented with a fixed rate flow tube. The selection of a particular device configuration replaces the need for programming a flow rate into an electronic syringe pump.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2015Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Inventors: Freddie Eng Hwee Lee, Withawin Wongdee

Patent number: 9833568Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical apparatus, methods and system for fluid medication delivery. The apparatus has a drive mechanism module and a fluid container engaged to the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a resilient member compressed to act against a gasket movably disposed in the fluid container. When extending to its original shape, the resilient member pushes the gasket to move inside the fluid container to eject the fluid out of the fluid container. The fluid container is connected to a flow restrictor tube that allows a predetermined flow rate of medication to be infused or injected to a patient.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2015Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Inventor: Freddie Eng Hwee Lee

Patent number: 9642966Abstract: In a method of determining a flow rate in an intravenous fluid delivery system according to one embodiment of the present invention, the fluid delivery channel forms a segment of the intravenous infusion system. An input thermal signal is emitted into a source location of a fluid delivery channel at an emitting instant. A first output thermal signal is received from a first sensor location of the fluid delivery channel at a first receiving instant. The first sensor location is positioned with a first interval downstream from the source location. The input thermal signal, the first output thermal signal, the emitting instant, the first receiving instant and the first interval define a first measured thermal profile. The first measured thermal profile is matched with a reference thermal profile which corresponds to a reference value, and the flow rate can be determined.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Inventor: Freddie Eng Hwee Lee

Patent number: 9186457Abstract: An intravenous infusion system that shows infusion flow rate, volume of medication infused, and alarming during malfunction. User intervention to adjust flow rates deviation is possible, using the data already stored in the system prior to the onset of making the adjustment. The system detects flow rate by measuring temperature dynamics in a section of the fluid path, unlike other systems that measures the electromechanical output of the pumping source if the counting of drops is not possible. This fundamental difference allows the invention to be used in any system that has a pumping source that provides a continuous fluid path as it measures actual flow of fluid in a segment of the fluid path, independent of pumping mechanism design.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Inventor: Freddie Eng Hwee Lee
