Abstract: Drug delivery systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a drug delivery system can be configured to deliver a drug to a patient in coordination with a physiological parameter of the patient (e.g., the patient’s natural cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsation or the patient’s heart or respiration rate). In some embodiments, a drug delivery system can be configured to use a combination of infusion and aspiration to control delivery of a drug to a patient. Catheters, controllers, and other components for use in the above systems are also disclosed, as are various methods of using such systems.

Abstract: A subcutaneous port assembly includes a base, a connector, a stem, a sealing element, and a locking member. The connector extends from a first end attached to the base to a distal end and includes an inner surface defining a socket having an inside diameter. The stem extends from the base and into the socket. The stem includes an outer surface having an outside diameter that is less than the inside diameter of the socket. The sealing element is disposed within the socket between the stem and the inner surface of the socket. The locking member has a plunger received within the socket from the distal end and having a terminal end facing the sealing element. The plunger is axially movable between a first position and a second position to selectively compress the sealing element within the socket.

Abstract: Systems and methods for flushing shunt systems are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a flusher includes a pinch tube that extends over a flush dome such that a user can simultaneously close the pinch tube and actuate the flush dome with a single motion. Flushing and refill valves of the system can be disposed in a cartridge that is laterally-offset from the flush dome, advantageously reducing the height profile of the flusher. Flushers with integrated shunt valves are also disclosed, as are shunt systems with restricted and unrestricted modes for selectively limiting the instances in which a user can open an auxiliary flow path through the system.

Abstract: Automated drug delivery systems and related methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, these systems can reduce or eliminate infusion inconsistencies. An exemplary system can include a syringe actuator which can be controlled via electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and/or hydraulic means to precisely infuse and/or withdraw material from a patient.
