  • Publication number: 20240325650
    Abstract: A medical syringe reduces medication waste that dispensing medication remaining within the syringe's Luer tip. The syringe plunger incorporates a ramrod with a jag on its distal end that is inserted through the Luer tip's lumen when the plunger is fully advanced into the syringe barrel. A center through bore of a syringe stopper is slidably coupled to the ramrod in fluid-sealed abutting contact. The center bore is initially oriented on the ramrod over the jag. Medication is aspirated into the syringe while the stopper is in its initial, axial position. The last, dose of medication is dispensed by advancing with the plunger with sufficient pressure to abut the stopper into contact with and translate the ramrod jag through the lumen of the Luer tip, thereby dispensing medication that was retained within the lumen.

  • Publication number: 20240325653
    Abstract: A piezoelectric actuator is provided for use within the barrel of a liquid medication delivery syringe. The actuator includes a plunger, a frame attached to the plunger, an advance piezoelectric unit disposed within the frame, and a lock piezoelectric unit disposed within the frame. Each of the piezoelectric units includes a number of piezoelectric elements arranged such that application of an electric field to piezoelectric elements of the lock unit causes the elements to expand in a radial direction of the barrel, locking the frame in position within the barrel. Application of an electric field to piezoelectric elements of the advance unit cause the elements to expand in an axial direction of the barrel, pumping liquid medication, disposed within the syringe, out of the barrel.

  • Publication number: 20240326058
    Abstract: Adapters that enable a change in the types of sample collection devices that may be inserted into and stored in sample collection device racks. The adapters are either individual adapters that fit into a rack receptacle for receiving a sample collection device, typically a tube or cylindrical container, or an array of adapters held together by connecting members that can be disposed on a sample collection device rack. With the adapters disposed in the rack receptacle, that receptacle, sized to receive securely a sample collection device of a first size, can now receive, securely, a sample collection device of a second size. The adapters are removable and washable so that racks can be modified to receive sample containers of different sizes.

  • Patent number: 12105010
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for characterizing particles of a sample in a flow stream. Methods according to certain embodiments include generating frequency-encoded fluorescence data from a particle of a sample in a flow stream; and calculating phase-corrected spatial data of the particle by performing a transform of the frequency-encoded fluorescence data with a phase correction component. In certain embodiments, methods include generating an image of the particle in the flow stream based on the phase-corrected spatial data. Systems having a processor with memory operably coupled to the processor having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to calculate phase-corrected spatial data from frequency-encoded fluorescence data of a particle a flow stream are also described. Integrated circuit devices (e.g., field programmable gate arrays) having programming for practicing the subject methods are also provided.

  • Patent number: 12102805
    Abstract: A medication injection pen comprises a dose set knob rotatable with respect to a housing to set a desired injection dose. The dose set knob comprises at least one internal thread. A leadscrew includes a thread element for advancing in a first direction via a corresponding thread engagement. A driver is rotationally fixed to the leadscrew and is rotatable in a first direction to rotate and advance the leadscrew in the first direction. The setback member is rotationally fixed to the driver. The dose stop member is rotationally coupled to the setback member and is axially movable relative to the dose set knob when the dose set knob is rotated relative to the setback member. Axial movement of the dose stop member limits the user from setting a dose that is greater than an injectable volume of medication remaining in a cartridge.
