Patent number: 10046116Abstract: Processes and devices for delivering a fluid by chemical reaction are disclosed. A chemical reaction is initiated in a reaction chamber to produce a gas, and the gas acts upon a piston to deliver the fluid. An exemplary device may include an upper chamber, a lower chamber, a fluid chamber, a piston between the lower chamber and the fluid chamber, and a one-way valve between the upper chamber and the lower chamber.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2016Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: Corrie Bennison, Christopher H.

Patent number: 9861750Abstract: Processes and devices for delivering a fluid by chemical reaction are disclosed. A chemical reaction is initiated in a reaction chamber to produce a gas, and the gas acts upon a piston to deliver the fluid. Preferred devices typically include an upper chamber, a lower chamber, a fluid chamber, a piston between the lower chamber and the fluid chamber, and a barrier between the upper chamber and the lower chamber. When the barrier is broken, reagents in the upper chamber and the lower chamber are mixed together to generate the gas.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2016Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: Corrie Bennison, Christopher H. Muenzer, Timothy M. Blum, Christopher P. McKenzie, Steven M. Madland, Jeffrey L. Ellis, Amy M. Heintz, Brian J. Kaseman

Patent number: 8197431Abstract: An acoustic access disconnect detection system is useful for detecting when an access needle has become dislodged or when blood is leaking. The acoustic disconnect detection system includes an acoustic transmitter and one or more acoustic sensors placed upstream of an access site of a patient, the sensors suitable for generating and detecting an acoustic signal that is intended to pass unobstructed through the access site. The acoustic transmitter may be placed on a therapy machine for generating an acoustic signal. The acoustic sensor is mounted downstream of the transmitter, such as on the therapy machine where blood is pumped to or returned from the patient, on the patient, or on the therapy machine where blood is entering the therapy machine. The therapy machine, such as a dialysis machine, may be programmed not to start or continue operation unless the acoustic signal is within certain parameters.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2007Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignees: Baxter International Inc., Baxter Healthcare S.A.Inventor: Corrie Bennison
