Abstract: A storage tray for one or more syringes includes a recess for each of the syringes to be held in the tray. Each recess has first and second opposed sidewalls that define a space therebetween for receiving the barrel of the syringe. Each of the first and second sidewalls has one or more deformable projections thereon that protrude into the space between the sidewalls for positively retaining the barrel of the syringe between the first and second sidewalls. Additionally, a slot is provided for receiving the thumb rest of the plunger. The slot includes a third sidewall oriented generally transverse to the first and second sidewalls, with the third sidewall including a further projection for engaging a surface of the thumb rest. Preferably, a plurality of such transverse slots is provided to accommodate different positions of the plunger relative to the syringe barrel.

Abstract: A medical fluid infusion system including: a fluid pathway for transporting a pulsatile flow of fluid; a dampening element in communication with the fluid pathway, the dampening element configured to actively dampen pressure fluctuations of the pulsatile flow to smoothen the pulsatile fluid flow, the dampening element operable in any orientation; and a fluid flow sensor disposed along the fluid pathway downstream of the dampening element to measure the flow rate of the smoothened fluid flow.
