  • Patent number: 8967423
    Abstract: A system for providing correct delivery of pharmaceuticals or the like to a patient location has a mounting body, a matching plate, a storage box and elements for associating a particular matching plate, affixed to a surface of the mounting body, with a particular storage box. The mounting body should be adapted to be fixed in place at the patient location, thereby fixing in place a storage body engaged in it. The storage box has a unitarily-formed storage body, with an open face hingedly fitted with a door for closing the open face. Proper association of the matching plate with the particular occurs when the associating elements of the storage box and the matching plate register with each other, allowing an element of the mounting body to engage the storage box. Disengagement of the element can be effected only through access to the interior of the storage body.

  • Patent number: 8950580
    Abstract: A housing secures an intravenous fluid bag along a portion of a support pole. The intravenous bag is suspended inside the housing, which is formed from three molded parts. A molded back part and a molded end part are joined in a permanent manner along a seam line, and these molded parts define a majority of the housing. A molded door part completes the housing, the molded door part being hingedly attached to the molded back part, providing the housing with an open and a closed position. Aligned slots in the molded end part allow the support pole portion to pass through the housing interior when the housing is in the closed position, and at least one cradle, attached to the molded end part, secures the support pole portion. The molded door part can be latched when in the closed position.
