Patent number: 11543037Abstract: A dual latching microvalve is capable of a metastable state, wherein a one or more complete flow paths are open, before switching to another state that allows only an inlet or outlet valve to be open at any time on any fluid path. One valve mechanism uses a cam to alternately open and close two valves, with an external force applying pressure to move one valve arm onto a resting position on the cam, thereby opening the closed valve and provided an uninterrupted flow path through the dual latching microvalve. The metastable state provides, for example, a means to prime the pump before operation, such as pumping of insulin into a patient. When released from the metastable state, the dual latching microvalve operates in a fashion whereby opening of both valves simultaneously is prevented, thereby protecting the patient from injury.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: SFC Fluidics, Inc.Inventors: Forrest W. Payne, Bradley Ledden, Gil Kan, Greg Lamps

Publication number: 20200368429Abstract: A method and device employing the method that identifies a solution based on characteristic electrochemical signal. Many solutions are electroactive, thus producing an electric signal following excitation with an applied potential. An electrochemical sensor can detect these electric signals if it is placed in contact with the fluid. Moreover, a fluid of known composition will produce a characteristic electrochemical signal and this characteristic signal can be used to confirm the presence of that fluid. The use of characteristic electrochemical signal to identify a fluid can be conducted at all scales and in many different fields. A few examples include quality control in food production or pharmaceutical manufacturing or for detection of air bubbles in a fluid stream or for identification of medicament prior to administration via a body worn patch pump/pod.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2017Publication date: November 26, 2020Applicant: SFC Fluidics, Inc.Inventors: Bradley LEDDEN, Greg LAMPS, Forrest PAYNE, Emma SUN

Patent number: 10576201Abstract: A valve for use in connection with microfluidic devices includes a safety feature such that flow is controlled even in the case of a loss of power, thus having applications in critical applications such as the precise delivery of drugs overtime. The valve may be used in connection with multiple tubes delivering drugs, and may be used with a pump, such as an electrochemical pump, to provide the force to move the fluids containing drugs for delivery. In certain applications, more than one medicine may be delivered and metered independently using a single pump with multiple reservoirs and valves.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2015Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: SFC Fluidics, Inc.Inventors: Forrest W.
