Patent number: 11690992Abstract: A fluid connector, including a fluid path portion having an integral cannula extending in a first direction from a interior surface, and a latching portion secured to the fluid path portion and having a pair of displaceable arms. Each arm includes a connector latch disposed at a first cantilevered end of the arm, and an activation lever disposed at an opposite cantilevered end of the arm and extending in a second direction, not parallel to the first direction. A portion of the activation lever includes a first lateral tactile feature aligned substantially parallel to the first direction to prevent forward slippage of the fluid connector from a user's grasp in the second direction, and a portion of the activation lever includes a lateral tactile feature aligned substantially parallel to the second direction to prevent slippage of the fluid connector from a user's grasp in the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Rachael Turner Kelly, Victor Isaac Politis, Alex Chaves, Gail Marie Siewiorek, Eric Bene, Attila Kiss, Megan Kohnen, Marc Hunter, Laurie Bums, Gail Hunter, Max Ryan

Publication number: 20210393875Abstract: An infusion device system includes a base (12) for removably coupling to a delivery device, a needle hub (22) supporting an insertion needle (20) and a catheter (18) for delivering a substance to a patient. The infusion device includes a needle shield (24) for covering the insertion needle (20) after inserting the catheter (18) into the patient. The needle hub (22) includes a least one leg (70) extending from the needle shield (24) to stabilize the needle shield (24) and needle hub (12) relative to the base. In one embodiment, the legs (70) can include a latching tab (74) to couple to the needle hub (22) to resist separation of the needle hub from the base (12) until the legs are deflected outward to release the needle hub (22).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Alex Sousa CHAVES, Victor Isaac POLITIS

Publication number: 20200306444Abstract: A delivery device such as an infusion set or patch pump is configured for delivering a pharmaceutical agent, such as insulin, to a patient. The infusion set or patch pump has a bottom surface pH indicator capable of producing a color change upon contact with the pharmaceutical agent. The pH indicator in one embodiment is bromothymol blue that is able to exhibit a color change when contacting an insulin solution to produce a rapid visually detectable color change.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2018Publication date: October 1, 2020Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Victor Isaac POLITIS, Gail SIEWIOREK

Publication number: 20190022308Abstract: An insulin infusion set (30) for use with an inserter (40) is disclosed. The infusion set (30) includes an extension set (50). The extension set (50) includes a housing (70), a base (90) and a latching device (82). The base (90) houses a base septum (120) and an infusion cannula (42). The latching device (82) releasably attaches the housing (70) to the base. When the housing (70) is attached to the base (90), a part of the housing (70) extends into and opens the base septum (120).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2018Publication date: January 24, 2019Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Ralph Lee Sonderegger, Victor Isaac Politis
