Patent number: 11944781Abstract: IV filters are described herein. An IV filter includes a filter housing, a filter media, a filter channel, a priming channel, and a disk valve. The filter housing defines an inlet and an outlet. The filter media is disposed within the filter housing. The filter channel is disposed within the filter housing. The filter channel is in fluid communication with the inlet and the filter media, and the filter media permits flow from the filter channel to the outlet and captures particulate from the flow. The priming channel is disposed within the filter housing. The priming channel is in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. The disk valve is coupled to the filter housing. The disk valve is moveable to direct flow from the inlet to the priming channel in a first position and to direct flow from the inlet to the filter channel in a second position.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: CAREFUSION 303, INC.Inventors: Leyla Yamin, Kelly Kloster Hon

Publication number: 20230191021Abstract: An IV set hand pump includes a body having an egg-shape, a grip portion extending radially outward from the body, an inlet port disposed at a first end of the body and an outlet port disposed at a second end of the body. The IV set hand pump is configured, when squeezed, to increase a fluid flow rate of an IV set downstream of the IV set hand pump beyond a maximum gravity based fluid flow rate of the IV set. IV sets with IV set hand pumps and methods of operating IV set hand pumps are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Kelly Kloster HON, Suhas HANUMANTHARAO

Publication number: 20220080107Abstract: Drip chamber assemblies are described herein. A drip chamber assembly includes a drip chamber and a filter. The drip chamber includes a chamber body defining a chamber volume. The filter is disposed within the chamber volume. The filter includes a folded filter media, which defines an inlet portion of the chamber volume and an outlet portion of the chamber volume. The folded filter media permits inlet flow from the inlet portion of the chamber volume to the outlet portion of the chamber volume. The folded filter media captures particulate from the inlet flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2020Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Huntington Woodman, Kelly Kloster Hon, Ryan Callahan, Leyla Yamin

Publication number: 20220080109Abstract: Bulbs for use with an IV set are described herein. A bulb includes a bulb body and a filter. The bulb body defines an inlet, an outlet, and a bulb volume in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. The filter is in fluid communication with the bulb volume. The filter captures particulate from a flow from the inlet to the outlet. The bulb body is deformable to compress the bulb volume and direct back flow from the bulb volume through the filter, agitating particulate captured in the filter, unclogging the filter and allowing for more flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2020Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Leyla Yamin, Ryan Callahan, Kelly Kloster Hon

Patent number: 10092282Abstract: Devices and methods for sternal retraction that reduces bleeding from the cut edges of a sternum and reduces fracturing of the sternum during retraction. The devices and methods involve the use of sternal retractor blades having a certain geometry and inserts placed inside the sternal retractor blades during retraction of the sternotomy incision. The blades and inserts act to tamponade the blood flow from the cut sternal edge and reduce fracturing of the sternum during retraction.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Emory UniversityInventors: John D. Puskas, Kelly Kloster Hon, Erick Eladio Rio, Brian Wong-Shui, Mark Joseph Moneypenny
