Abstract: A surgical irrigation cassette comprises a cassette housing, a portion of a pump, and fluid pathways. The housing defines a chamber therein and a first console connector including a first pneumatic connector port. The pump portion includes an intake side of the pump and an output side of the pump. The fluid pathways are disposed at least in part within the chamber. A first fluid pathway, in an installed position, connects the intake side of the pump with a supply fluid container. A second fluid pathway, in an installed position, connects the output side of the pump and a handpiece. A third fluid pathway, in an installed position, connects the handpiece and a waste container A fourth fluid pathway, in an installed position, connects the first console connector and the waste container.

Abstract: Provided is a cassette unit suitable for use with an auto-injector having an electrically powered drive unit. The cassette unit has a housing defining a cassette unit housing cavity and a needle projection aperture. The cassette unit housing cavity is arranged for receipt of a syringe. The syringe has a barrel for containing a volume of a liquid drug formulation, the barrel defining a flange at the rear end thereof and a forward shoulder at the forward end thereof; a hollow needle at a front end of the barrel, the hollow needle defining a needle tip; and a plunger that is axially movable within the barrel. The cassette unit includes, in contact with the plunger and axially movable within the barrel, a plunger slaving part arranged such that when a drive load is applied to a rear drive-receiving face thereof the drive load is evenly transmitted to the plunger.

Abstract: A shuttle member for a horizontal lifeline system having at least one elongate line attached between at least two anchorage points. The shuttle member includes: a body having: (i) an upper portion configured for attachment to the line by at least partially surrounding the line; (i) an intermediate portion that, together with the upper portion, defines at least one passage slit that is sized such that the elongate line cannot pass therethrough; and (iii) an attachment portion configured for attachment of at least a portion of a lanyard. A shuttle member arrangement and a passing method are also disclosed.
