Abstract: A valve assembly for a medical device including a container including a first region and a second region, a first fluid inlet fluidly coupled to the first region, a second fluid inlet fluidly coupled to the second region, and a piston assembly disposed within the container. The container is configured to house an agent within the second region, the first fluid inlet is configured to deliver a first portion of pressurized fluid to the first region at a first pressure level, and the second fluid inlet is configured to deliver a second portion of pressurized fluid to the second region at a second pressure level that is less than the first pressure level. The piston assembly includes a valve configured to move from a first position to a second position in response to the piston assembly moving relative to the container.

Abstract: A valve assembly for a medical device that includes an enclosure for storing an agent and a funnel downstream of the enclosure for receiving the agent. The enclosure including a first end and the funnel including a second end positioned adjacent to the first end. The valve assembly including a first plate coupled to the enclosure at the first end, and a second plate coupled to the funnel at the second end. The first plate including at least one opening, and the second plate including at least one opening that is in fluid communication with the opening of the first plate. The first and second plates are positioned against one another, and an exterior surface of the first or second plate includes textured surface elements configured to displace the agent stored in the enclosure in response to the first or second plate moving relative to one another.
