Patent number: 11504469Abstract: A system and method for calibrating an IV pump infusion system tube comprises a fluid source, an infusion system comprising, an IV pump, a drive unit, a chamber with known constant volume, a control unit, and IV tubing with a known inner diameter tolerance, and a switch and magnetic floating object. The system administers medicinal fluid, calculates the flow rate of the medicinal fluid in the chamber by measuring the time the switch is activated as medicinal fluid rises in the chamber, compares the calculated flow rate with a set flow rate of the IV pump input in the control unit prior to infusion, and adjusts the IV pump and flow rate based on the compared deviations for more accurate delivery to a patient. This configuration may provide a more precise delivery rate of medicinal fluid, preventing harm to the patient and waste of medicine.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2018Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: FLEX LTD.Inventors: Eyal Barmaimon, Lior Shtram, Shai Finkman, Elie Yaacobi, Ronny Bellan, Nadav Cohen, Amit Schnell

Patent number: 11185631Abstract: A device and method for measuring an IV pump infusion system flow comprises a fluid source configured to store medicinal fluid and a weight sensing mechanism comprising a weight sensor and microprocessor. The weight sensing mechanism is configured to detect the weight of the fluid source as the medicinal fluid leaves the fluid source. The device in the infusion system administers medicinal fluid using a set flow rate for the IV pump input into the control unit prior to infusion, measures the change in mass of the fluid source containing medicinal fluid as fluid exits the source, calculates the flow rate based on the change in mass over time, compares the calculations with a set flow rate, and adjusts the IV pump and flow rate based on the compared deviations, for improved delivery accuracy. This configuration may also prevent patient harm and medicine waste.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: FLEX LTD.Inventors: Lior Shtram, Eyal Barmaimon, Shai Finkman, Ronny Bellan, Michael Zeltsburg

The drug container includes a stopper. The automatic injection device also has a fluid path which fluidly connects the drug container to the insertion needle. The automatic injection device further has a drive system configured to cause parallel linear movement of the stopper to force the pharmaceutical product into the fluid path. The drive system has a driving element and a movable element. The automatic injection device additionally has electronics configured to provide a signal to the drive system to move the stopper and have means for sensing the stopper position. The movable element has an outer magnet at least partially surrounding the drug container and an inner magnet inside the drug container.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2021Publication date: July 22, 2021Applicant: FLEXTRONICS AP, LLCInventors: Eyal BARMAIMON, Lior Shtram, Boaz Kalisch, Ronny Bellan, Nadav Cohen, Shai Finkman, Yuval Harel

Publication number: 20210154392Abstract: A system and method for calibrating an IV pump infusion system tube comprises a fluid source, an infusion system comprising, an IV pump, a drive unit, a chamber with known constant volume, a control unit, and IV tubing with a known inner diameter tolerance, and a set of conductive plates. The system administers medicinal fluid, calculates the flow rate of the medicinal fluid in the chamber by measuring the time the capacitance level of the medicinal fluid changes from a capacitance level corresponding to a first (initial) position to a capacitance level corresponding to a second (filled) position, compares the calculated flow rate with a set flow rate of the IV pump input in the control unit prior to infusion, and adjusts the IV pump and flow rate based on the compared deviations for more accurate delivery to a patient. This configuration may therefore provide a more precise delivery rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2021Publication date: May 27, 2021Inventors: Eyal Barmaimon, Lior Shtram, Shai Finkman, Elie Yaacobi, Ronny Bellan, Nadav Cohen, Amit Schnell
