Publication number: 20110015572Abstract: A retractable syringe, plunger and releasable needle retaining assembly are provided. The retractable syringe typically has a glass barrel and is prefilled with fluid contents before use. The releasable needle retaining system comprises a retractable needle, a needle seal, a retaining member and an ejector member that is operable to release the retractable needle from the retaining member. The retaining member has a mating surface for mounting to a complementary mating surface of an interior wall of a syringe barrel. The plunger comprises a plunger outer, a plunger rod frangibly connected to a controlling member, a spring and a unitary plunger seal capable of engaging the retractable needle, wherein the plunger rod, plunger outer and the controlling member co-operate to releasably maintain the spring in an initially compressed state. After delivery of fluid contents of the syringe, the plunger forces the ejector member to release the retractable needle from the retaining member.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2008Publication date: January 20, 2011Applicant: UNITRACT SYRINGE PTY LTDInventors: Craig Stephen Thorley, Joseph Hermes Kaal, Chris Rafferty, Richard Sokolov, Ernesto Hueso, Huw Wallis, Steve Chi TRUONG

Publication number: 20100313891Abstract: A respiratory mask for use with a patient, and that is suited for use with children, includes a flexible cushion arranged to interface with and deliver air to the patient's nose. The cushion has a tube connection portion at one or both sides adjacent the patient's nares, the tube connection portion being arranged to connect to an air delivery tube. This location, plus the very low profile of the mask, allows a patient (e.g. an infant) to sleep on their face more comfortably. A more rigid support structure adjacent the cushion is provided to stabilize the cushion and prevent it from collapsing. Headgear is also provided and arranged for releasable attachment to the support structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 29, 2008Publication date: December 16, 2010Applicant: ResMed LimitedInventors: Lee James Veliss, Carmel Therese Harrington, Philip Rodney Kwok, Philip John Gunning, Joshua Adam Gudiksen, Bart Jeremy Caffin, Richard Sokolov, Ian Frederick Johnson, Eric Siu

Publication number: 20080230069Abstract: A mechanism for releasing a mask from a patient's face includes a frame part including a male connection and a frame engagement portion for engaging a cooperating portion on a frame of the mask. A headgear part includes a female connection that is adapted to receive the male connection when the frame part is inserted into the headgear part, and a headgear engagement portion for engaging a cooperating portion on headgear of the mask. A cord has one end secured to the male connection, such that when the cord is pulled by the patient the male connection disengages from the female connection and consequently the frame part separates from the headgear part releasing the mask from the patient's face. A method of releasing a mask from a patient's face includes pulling a cord away from a frame of the mask to release a latch of the mask frame from a latch receiving portion of a headgear of the mask to release the latch from the latch receiving portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2008Publication date: September 25, 2008Applicant: ResMed LimitedInventors: Zoran Valcic, Bruce Richard Davies, Huw Umberto Wallis, Richard Sokolov, Eric Siu
