  • Publication number: 20230139653
    Abstract: A pressure sensor device for internal pressure monitoring in a hose, preferably an infusion hose, that is used for fluid transmission and that rests directly or indirectly on a pressure sensor housing. The hose is elastically deformable and connected via a contact side to a pressure transmission element located in the pressure sensor housing. The pressure transmission element transmits internal pressure changes absorbed via the contact side to a compressive force sensor for measurement. The contact side can have an elliptical shape, and the pressure transmission element can have a funnel-shaped extension, to make the pressure sensor device as robust as possible in terms of measurement accuracy, and independent of fluctuations in temperature and associated changes in material states.

  • Publication number: 20230120310
    Abstract: A medical pump includes a cuboid pump housing and a front lid that is pivotably hinged to the pump housing. The front lid includes a display, in particular a touch display, and/or operating elements. The front lid is attached to the pump housing with at least one first hinge element and at least one second hinge element. The at least one first hinge element and/or the at least one second hinge element includes or forms at least one electrical connection between the pump housing and the front lid for electrical linking and exchange of data.

  • Publication number: 20230120949
    Abstract: A medical fluid pump, such as an infusion pump or syringe pump, includes a printed circuit board equipped with control devices of the medical fluid pump. The control device can include at least the control device of a motor of the medical fluid pump. The medical fluid pump also includes a wireless communication module in the form of a communication circuit board. The communication circuit board is arranged substantially perpendicular or orthogonally to the printed circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20230117890
    Abstract: A medical fluid pump, such as a syringe pump or infusion pump, includes a housing, a front flap hinged to a front side of the housing, and a carrying handle pivotally connected to opposite first and second side surfaces. The carrying handle is pivotable from a storage position to a carrying position in which the carrying handle is disposed above the housing. A plurality of electrical and mechanical components, which are contained within the housing, are necessary for all of the intended functions of the medical fluid pump. A selection of components from the electrical and mechanical components are provided as tare elements, placed within the housing such that a center of gravity of the medical fluid pump is substantially below the carrying handle in the carrying position.
