  • Publication number: 20250032757
    Abstract: An instrument delivery device to insert an instrument through a catheter assembly may include a housing, a connector coupled to the housing, a slider configured to move along a slot of the housing, and an instrument disposed within the housing and coupled to the slider. The instrument may be configured to advance beyond the connector in response to movement of the slider along the slot from a proximal position to a distal position. The connector may include a curved portion configured to change a direction of the instrument when the instrument is advanced through the connector. A catheter system may include a catheter adapter, which may include a side port. An annular valve may be disposed within the lumen and configured to seal the side port. The catheter system may include an instrument advancement feature configured to direct the instrument in a distal direction within the lumen of the catheter adapter.

  • Patent number: 12201800
    Abstract: An extension set may include a tube having an outer surface. An instrument, such as a tubing or a probe, may be disposed within the tube and may include a proximal end and a distal end. A translation handle may be coupled to the outer surface of the tube and may move along the outer surface between a proximal position and a distal position to translate the distal end of the instrument between a retracted position and an advanced position. In the advanced position, the distal end of the instrument may extend beyond the distal end of the tube and into a catheter assembly and/or vasculature of a patient.

  • Publication number: 20220078078
    Abstract: A resource manager of a virtualized computing service indicates to a client that FPGA-enabled compute instances are supported at the service. From a set of virtualization hosts of the service, a particular host from which an FPGA is accessible is selected for the client based on an indication of computation objectives of the client. Configuration operations are performed to prepare the host for the application, and an FPGA-enabled compute instance is launched at the host for the client.

  • Publication number: 20030065304
    Abstract: A transdermal reservoir and a method of the present invention for loading a material into a reservoir includes providing an reservoir including a backing with an interior surface comprising a bibulous reservoir having a patient contact surface with a shape disposed on the interior surface of the backing. The method includes providing a closure sized and shaped to engage the backing for forming a releasable seal to isolate the bibulous reservoir from the ambient environment, the closure is removable from the housing to expose the patient contact surface for use. The provided closure has an inside surface with a section of an absorbent material disposed thereon. The provided section has a first surface so that when the closure is disposed on the backing, the absorbent material first surface is positioned in intimate physical contact with the reservoir. The method includes applying an aliquot of a material to the absorbent material.

  • Patent number: 6496727
    Abstract: A transdermal reservoir and method for loading a material into a reservoir includes providing a bibulous reservoir blocking a backing with an interior surface having a patient contact surface with a shape disposed on the interior surface of the backing. A closure is sized and shaped to engage the backing for forming a releasable seal to isolate the bibulous reservoir from the ambient environment. The closure has an inside surface with a section of an absorbent material disposed thereon. When the closure is disposed on the backing, the absorbent material is positioned in intimate physical contact with the reservoir. The method includes applying an aliquot of a material to the absorbent material,. placing the closure on the backing so that the absorbent material is in intimate physical contact with the contact surface of the bibulous reservoir and the closure forms the releasable seal with the backing.
