  • Patent number: 10709837
    Abstract: An infusion set employing a spike cap, arranged at which there is an opening configured to prevent passage therethrough of solid or liquid but to allow passage therethrough of gas at interior of the cap, hydrophobic filter being arranged at a location inward from where a tip of spike is inserted at interior of the cap by way of an insertion port, and a lid exterior of the opening for closing the opening; and in which there are hook(s) for anchoring to infusion tubing and a clip equipped with a catch for a flange arranged at the spike. Employing the cap at the infusion set makes it possible to carry out preprocessing including priming and backpriming by a simple operation without leakage of liquid.

  • Patent number: 10682456
    Abstract: In the context of a package for sealing an infusion set therewithin, the present invention causes a plurality of illustrations in which elements and colors thereof which appear in a story, verse, or lyric of a song or nursery rhyme are depicted in images in order of appearance therein, the respective images being displayed on a surface of the package in order from frontmost to backmost in mutually offset and partially overlapping fashion, such that it is possible to extremely naturally and without difficulty grasp the colors and the order thereof, i.e., the order of administration, as a result of which it is possible to effectively prevent misidentification of administration procedure during use of the infusion set.

  • Patent number: 10518025
    Abstract: In an infusion set, a spike or a connector for connection with an intravenous drip needle is covered by a cap, arranged at which there is an opening configured so as to not allow passage therethrough of solid or liquid but so as to allow passage therethrough of gas at the interior of the cap, a hydrophobic filter being arranged at a location inward from where the tip of the spike or the connector for connection with an intravenous drip needle is inserted at the interior of the cap by way of an insertion port, and a lid at the exterior of said opening for closing said opening. A three-way stopcock having a primary tubing downstream branch connector equipped with a mechanism that connects in such fashion as to permit rotation about primary tubing as axis is provided.

  • Publication number: 20180243501
    Abstract: An infusion set comprising first member(s) constituting primary tubing and second member(s) constituting instant tubing covered by a cap, arranged at an opening configured so as not to allow passage of solid or liquid but so as to allow passage of gas at the interior of the cap, a hydrophobic filter being arranged at a location inward from where the tip of a connector for connection with a three-way stopcock or an intravenous drip needle is inserted at the interior of the cap by way of an insertion port, and a lid at the exterior of said opening for closing said opening. The infusion set makes it possible to carry out priming by means of a simple operation without leakage of liquid; and operations become improved due to the fact that first member(s) and second member(s) can be connected as desired by three-way stopcock(s) 5.
