Abstract: A fluid transfer connector comprises a medical standard connector part comprising a fluid transfer port, a connector part for flexible tubing, the connector part arranged to form a fluid connection with the fluid transfer port such that, in use, a fluid flow can pass between flexible tubing connected to the connector part and the fluid transfer port. The connector further comprises a moveable member arranged to interrupt the fluid flow in the flexible tubing when moved from a first position to a second position. The moveable member is further arranged to release a connection, in use, between the medical standard connector part and a corresponding adaptor part such as a female hub).

Abstract: A sample collection device for collecting a fluid sample is provided. The device includes a sample collection chamber, for collecting a sample therein, having a first end and a second end and a sample collection conduit, for conveying a sample from a user into the sample collection chamber. The sample collection conduit includes an inlet for receiving a sample and wherein in at least a first position the sample collection conduit extends from within the sample collection chamber out through the first end such that at least the inlet is outside of the sample collection chamber. The device further includes a plunger configured to expel the sample out of the sample collection chamber through the second end of the sample collection chamber.

Abstract: A fluid transfer device (201) comprises a body and a medical connector part (204), extending from the main body, for connection, in use, with a corresponding hub. A fluid flow path (208) extends through the body and medical connector part. A flow regulation valve is arranged in the fluid flow path in the body, for selectively controlling the flow rate of fluid through the fluid flow path. A flow control member (226) may be arranged to directly operate the flow regulation valve. A disconnection member (228) is mounted to the body and arranged to move relative to the medical connector part (204) to release, in use, the hub connected to the medical connector part. The flow regulation valve and disconnection member (228) are independently operable.

Abstract: A medical device connector includes a fluid transfer tip including a tapered surface for creating a friction fitting between the fluid transfer tip and a hub. A separable collar includes a first and second arcuate segments. The second segment includes an engagement feature for engaging with a corresponding engagement feature of a hub. A moveable disconnection member is arranged such that movement of the disconnection member moves the second segment of the separable collar from a first closed collar configuration position, to a second position, corresponding to an open collar configuration, in which the second segment is moved relative to the fluid transfer tip and the first segment, so as to allow disengagement of the engagement feature from the corresponding engagement feature. Movement of the disconnection member also releases the friction fitting between the fluid transfer tip and the hub.

Abstract: A storage device (2) for storing a plurality of objects. The storage device (2) comprises: a carousel (8) defining a plurality of cavities (34); a sealing strip (6) extending around the carousel (8) so as to seal the plurality of cavities (34) and a concentric guide structure (18) extending at least partially around the carousel (8). The storage device (2) further comprises a driving member (42) attached to the sealing strip (6). The driving member (42) is arranged such that when moved relative to the guide structure (18), the driving member (42) pulls on the sealing strip (6) and thereby releases a portion of the sealing strip (6) and subsequently wraps the released portion of the sealing strip (6) around the guide structure (18).

Abstract: An inserter assembly for a peripheral catheter assembly configured with an adhesive plaster member, wherein the catheter tube extends through the plaster member. The inserter assembly includes a first inserter part having first and second legs, a bridge member connecting the first and second legs at a distance from each other, with the bridge member adapted for detachably engaging or holding at least a part of the needle module extending coaxially between the first and second legs. The inserter assembly includes a second inserter part for covering the needle. The plaster member impairs visual sight and the line of vision to the needle tip during puncture may be impaired. To prevent this the first inserter part serves for holding a back-folded part of the plaster member.
