Patent number: 9452108Abstract: A method of using a device for encouraging adherence to a medication schedule and proper administration technique includes placing the device on a surface. The device includes a body, a timer associated with the body for measuring and displaying an elapsed time since an immediately prior medication dose was administered; and a button on the body that, when depressed relative to the body, resets the timer. The button is sized and shaped for accommodating a medication container used to store or activate the medication. The button and the body are configured for cooperating with the medication container for facilitating mixing of the medication. The method further includes engaging the medication container with the button and resetting the timer.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2014Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignees: BAXALTA INCORPORATED, BAXALTA GMBHInventors: Scott Ariagno, Daniel E.

Patent number: 9358181Abstract: A reconstitution assembly includes a housing including a lower sleeve and an upper sleeve, including a first container and a second container disposed vertically opposite the first container. A transfer set assembly is disposed within the housing between the first container and the second container. The transfer set assembly includes an upper spike housing and a lower spike housing, with a flow path defined through the upper spike housing and the lower spike housing. The transfer set assembly is configured to access contents of the first container and then upon the activation of a triggering mechanism, create a fluid pathway between the first container and the second container. The triggering mechanism ensures the transfer set assembly sequentially accesses the contents of the first container before accessing the contents of the second container. The disposition of the first container activates the triggering mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2013Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignees: BAXALTA INCORPORATED, BAXALTA GMBHInventors: Scott Ariagno, Frederick Charles Houghton, Daniel E.

Patent number: 7534348Abstract: Flow-through systems for processing biological fluid are disclosed. The flow-through systems include a removal device in the flow path for removing unwanted compounds and agents. The removal device includes a removal media contained within a housing made of two separate portions sealed together. The housing is maintained in a substantially vertical disposition, thereby ensuring substantially uniform and complete exposure of the fluid to the media.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2003Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: Fenwal, Inc.Inventors: Douglas W. Reitz, Scott Ariagno, Mihir Sheth, Atif Yardimci, Robert A. Clarke, David W. Pennington, Michael R. Prisco, Edwin Chim, Robin Pauley, Craig Sandford, Arch Sites

Publication number: 20070106213Abstract: A method and apparatus for dispensing a relatively viscous composition to a wound site at a location within a mammalian body requiring a relatively long and thin catheter for access includes filling a distal tip of the catheter with the composition, directing the distal tip to the wound site, dispensing the composition onto the wound site and then inflating a balloon against the applied composition to enable same to congeal enough so that the composition remains fixed to the wound site after the catheter is removed from the body. In an embodiment the balloon is secured to the catheter such that when air is applied through the catheter to the balloon, the balloon expands longitudinally and distally past a distal end of the catheter.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2006Publication date: May 10, 2007Inventors: Gianluca Spera, Scott Ariagno

Publication number: 20060191962Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to various structures for applying a sealant to a work surface. In one aspect of the invention, a sealant applicator assembly is provided for use with an apparatus of the type having an elongated body defining an interior bore and having a piston movably positioned in the bore and a pusher member operatively associated with the piston. The assembly comprises a spray adaptor adapted to communicate with the bore of the body and defining a distal outlet. A first gas passageway is cooperatively associated with the distal outlet and configured to direct gas to create a spray discharge of the sealant. An actuating member is adapted to be cooperative associated with a pusher member to eject sealant through the distal outlet and is operative to simultaneously actuate a supply of gas to the first gas passageway for creating a spray discharge of sealant.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2006Publication date: August 31, 2006Inventors: Heinz Redl, Zafar Khakpour, Scott Ariagno, Andreas Kellner, Lillian Zakarija

Patent number: 6273133Abstract: A fluid flow rate switching device providing a plurality of precise user selectable flow rates. Generally, the device includes a housing having a port and a plurality of passages. Respectively disposed in each of the passages is a rigid capillary tube for regulating the flow rate of a therapeutic fluid through the passages. Further, a valve is rotatably connected to the housing for operably connecting and disconnecting the port from one or more of the passages.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1999Date of Patent: August 14, 2001Assignee: Baxter International Inc.Inventors: Mark E.
