Publication number: 20030130645Abstract: The present invention relates to delivery containers designed to deliver fluids for infusion to patients in a predetermined sequence, and methods for their construction and use. The containers described herein integrally comprise a plurality of non-fluidly connected chambers. The containers may be configured to deliver a volume of each medication of an infusion therapy in a predetermined sequence, duration, and/or interval from these chambers; alternatively, a container may be part of a larger device that provides the necessary hardware to perform such predetermined delivery. The container provides improved infusion therapy administration by reducing opportunities for error, infection, adverse drug interactions, or other complications.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2002Publication date: July 10, 2003Applicant: Tandem Medical, Inc.Inventors: David R.

Publication number: 20030040708Abstract: It is a primary object of the present invention to provide an automated system based on an integral fluid bag for administering a variety of intravenous drug regimens and reducing the vagaries of existing manual systems. The fluid has multiple chambers configured to implement a prescribed intravenous medical therapy. Each chamber's geometry (size, shape), sequence and position, alone and in combination with the other chambers, matches the prescribed intravenous therapy or drug regimen. The bag's configuration assures that the intravenous therapy is administered in accordance with the prescribed drug regimen, thus automating the previous manual method. A choice of fluid bag configurations may be stocked so that a prescription for well known and widely accepted drug regimens may be filled by merely selecting a bag with the appropriate chamber configuration and filling it with the prescribed medications.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2002Publication date: February 27, 2003Applicant: Tandem Medical, Inc.Inventors: Bobby E.
