Publication number: 20160121066Abstract: A cleaning catheter (200) includes fluid-delivery and suction lumens (520, 530). A flow regulator (700) defines suction and fluid ports (830, 827). A mechanical user control element (320) is configured to mechanically and non-electrically set activation states of the flow regulator (700), and transition between first and third configurations via a second configuration. When the control element (320) is in the first configuration, the flow regulator (700) blocks fluid communication (a) between the suction port (830) and the suction lumen (530) and (b) between the fluid port (827) and the fluid-delivery lumen (520). When the control element (320) is in the second configuration, the flow regulator effects fluid communication between the suction port (830) and the suction lumen (530), and blocks fluid communication between the fluid port (827) and the fluid-delivery lumen (520).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2016Publication date: May 5, 2016Applicant: AIRWAY MEDIX S.A.Inventors: Oron ZACHAR, Elad EINAV, Gil YIGAL

Publication number: 20160106912Abstract: A drug delivery device having a housing containing a gas generator controlled by an electronic controller. The gas generator generates gas into a reciprocable chamber, whereby reciprocation of the chamber causes a lever to reciprocate a pawl, and this action causes a ratchet to undergo incremental advancement. The device may also be provided with manual control for delivering a bolus dose of drug when necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2015Publication date: April 21, 2016Inventors: Joseph Gross, Izrail Tsals, Gilad Lavi, Gil Yigal, Ehoud Carmel

Publication number: 20150133864Abstract: A cleaning catheter includes tubular main body, shaped so as to define a distal-most suction orifice; and a suction lumen arranged along the main body in intermittent fluid communication with a suction source. A distal portion of the suction lumen is in fluid communication with the distal-most suction orifice. An outer wall of the main body is shaped so as to define an opening extending through the outer wall into the suction lumen at an axial location proximal to the distal-most suction orifice. An inflatable element is mounted to the main body along the opening. A collapsible membrane is positioned along the opening within an interior of the inflatable element, so as to define an inflatable chamber between a wall of inflatable element and the collapsible membrane. The collapsible membrane is positioned to at least partially occlude the suction lumen upon at least partial inflation of the inflatable chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2015Publication date: May 14, 2015Applicant: AIRWAY MEDIX S.A.Inventors: Oron ZACHAR, Elad EINAV, Gil YIGAL

Patent number: 7530964Abstract: A needle device has a needle retraction mechanism that retracts the needle upon removing the device from the skin surface (either intentionally or unintentionally). Once the needle is retracted, the device is rendered inoperative. The needle can be further made inoperative by bending it when one attempts to reuse the device. In another embodiment, a needle opening formed in the base of the housing can be covered to render the needle inoperative when one attempts to reuse the device. In another embodiment, the needle device instead has a needle shield that automatically covers the needle after use.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2001Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Elan Pharma International LimitedInventors: Gilad Lavi, Gil Yigal, David Daily, Udi Carmel, Avi Azoulay, Oz Cabiri
