  • Publication number: 20130023851
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for administering medicaments to a patient. The system comprises: a mobile medicament container with a liquid medicament; an identification-element-generating device for generating a first identification element with first data relating to the patient, medication and/or treatment, in order to apply this identification element to the medicament container; a reading device for reading the first data; a delivery device for delivering the medicament to the patient from the medicament container inserted into the delivery device, wherein the reading device is suitable for reading second data provided on/in a second identification element assigned to the patient and connected to the delivery device, and a control device within the delivery device sends a first control signal for activating the delivery process to at least one of a plurality of delivery units of the delivery device if the first and second data at least partially match.

  • Publication number: 20130023819
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for monitoring at least one blood parameter of the blood from a predetermined patient, with an access device for setting up access to the patient's blood, a removal device for removing an amount of blood in order to obtain a blood sample, a blood analysis device for analysing the blood sample, and a calculation device for calculating drug parameters of a drug to be administered to the patient as well as a supply device for supplying the drug having the calculated drug parameters. The system identifies the blood samples using bar codes, as a result of which there are no errors when assigning the blood to be analysed to the respective patient.

  • Patent number: 8172110
    Abstract: Containers for infusion liquids and methods for making the same are described herein. Aspects of an exemplary container include an extended hollow body, a standing bottom, collapsible side walls and a tapered shoulder region which transforms into a neck. Fold lines (BL) are provided and configured such that they cause portions of the container having the fold lines to be flattened when liquid is removed from the container without venting.

  • Publication number: 20070272705
    Abstract: The container for infusion liquids comprises an extended hollow body (11), with a standing bottom (20) and a tapered shoulder region (14), which transforms into a neck (15). Should the container be emptied without ventilation the container walls collapse. Fold lines (BL) are provided in the standing bottom (20) and/or the shoulder region (14) at which the container can deform in a defined way, in order that the residual volume remains small. The container can be economically produced and filled by a blowing method, thus requiring a limited air volume and hence offering a good utilisation of the internal volume. Said positive properties render the container suitable for application to pressurised infusions.

  • Patent number: 5108380
    Abstract: A valve device for a hub member of a catheter or the like. An open cup-shaped hollow cylinder with a slit bottom portion is axially displaceable in the chamber of the housing of the hub member. In the closed position, a helical spring presses the edge of the opening of the hollow cylinder against the inner end of an insertion opening for a connecting member. The insertion opening is formed at the housing and has a diameter larger than the inner circumference of the edge of the opening of the hollow cylinder. The bottom portion is pulled into an adapted central hole of a closing ring fixed in the housing, through which hole the bottom portion may be pushed axially against the spring action for releasing its legs formed by the slit. Throughout this operation the resilient hollow cylinder is free of stresses, so that the edges of the slit in the bottom portion are not deformed.

  • Patent number: 4968308
    Abstract: A coupling assembly for connecting a flexible catheter to the hub cone of a sheath for inserting the catheter into a punctured body cavity consists of a housing having two separable housing halves which jointly form a passage for the catheter and have their patient-proximal front end provided with a tip for insertion into the hub cone of the sheath. In the passage, there is arranged shaped sealing formed as a hollow cylinder of an elastic material, provided as a tube tightly surrounding the catheter and having a thickened head portion. The outer diameter of the head portion is adapted to the outer diameter of the tip of the housing, and the tube is inserted into a widened portion of the passage such that the head portion of the tube abuts against the front face of the tip. Such a shaped sealing acts as a closing stopper which prevents that blood can travel rearward between the separating slits of the housing halves and escape to the outside.
