Publication number: 20130255061Abstract: An antimicrobial composition, generally comprising a biocidal agent, such as chlorhexidine gluconate, a lubricant, such as a modified siloxane, and a solvent, such as an alcohol and/or water. The biocidal agent acts as a highly effective biocide while the lubricant reduces friction between various components of a medical device during assembly. The antimicrobial composition may be applied to an internal component of the medical device prior to assembly. The process of assembling the medical device results in antimicrobial composition being distributed to various internal structures and geometries of the medical device as the coated, internal component is assembled into the interior of the medical device. Air is then used to further distribute excess antimicrobial agent to the remaining surfaces downstream from the installed, internal component. In some embodiments, additional air is passed through the assembled medical device to assist in removing the carrier solvent from the medical device via evaporation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2012Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: Jonathan Karl Burkholz, Minh Quang Hoang

Patent number: 8383044Abstract: A blood sampling device useful for collecting a blood sample from a separate vascular access device is described herein. The blood sampling device includes a body shaped and sized for partial insertion into a separate vascular access device. The body includes a reservoir defined within the body, which has an internal volume sufficient to contain enough blood for use in a diagnostic blood test. The body also includes a gas permeable vent disposed on the body, in which the gas permeable vent is in gaseous communication with the reservoir. When connected to a separate vascular access device the blood sampling device collects a blood sample as blood flows into the reservoir from the separate vascular access device and as gases pass out the reservoir via the gas permeable vent.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2010Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Bryan G. Davis, Jonathan Karl Burkholz, Minh Quang Hoang, Yiping Ma

Publication number: 20120016307Abstract: A needle hub and catheter assembly are disclosed herein. The needle hub includes an introducer needle having a lumen extending therethrough. A needle hub is coupled to a proximal end of the introducer needle. A flash chamber is removably coupled to the needle hub or the introducer needle. An interior of the flash chamber is in fluid communication with the lumen of the introducer needle when the flash chamber is coupled to the needle hub or the introducer needle. As such, the flash chamber can collect a sample of blood that can be accessed when the flash chamber is removed. In some instances, the blood can also be dispensed from the flash chamber into a test strip or other testing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2011Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: Jonathan Karl Burkholz, Minh Quang Hoang
