  • Patent number: 11786687
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to, amongst other things, systems, devices, materials, and methods that can improve the accuracy and/or precision of nitric oxide therapy by, for example, reducing the dilution of inhaled nitric oxide (NO). As described herein, NO dilution can occur because of various factors. To reduce the dilution of an intended NO dose, various exemplary nasal cannulas, pneumatic configurations, methods of manufacturing, and methods of use, etc. are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210276749
    Abstract: A medical vial filling system is adapted to fill a medical vial with a solution and cap the filled medical vial. A purging system includes a manifold disposed between a filling station and a capping station. The manifold includes a filling inlet port and a plurality of output ports. The output ports are positioned in a space proximate the filling station and in a space over the transport mechanism. A stoppering block includes a capping chamber for receiving a bushing positioned at the capping station. The stoppering block comprises a stoppering inlet port, a first nozzle opening into the capping chamber and a second nozzle extending into the capping chamber and directed into the medical vial when the medical vial is position in the capping station.

  • Publication number: 20210260327
    Abstract: Described are nasal cannulas that improve the precision of the delivered dose for nitric oxide therapy by reducing the dilution of nitric oxide. The nasal cannulas may reduce the total volume and potential for retrograde flow during nitric oxide therapy through the design of the specific dimensions of the flow path and/or having check valves in the nitric oxide delivery line and/or having a flapper or umbrella valve dedicated to nitric oxide delivery. The nasal cannulas may also use materials that limit oxygen diffusion through the cannula walls. The nosepiece for these cannulas may be manufactured by a molding technique.

  • Publication number: 20150068521
    Abstract: An anesthetic container includes an anesthetic receptacle and a valve assembly attachable to the receptacle. The valve assembly includes a valve seat with a first sloped surface and a valve member with a second sloped surface, the first and second sloped surfaces having different slopes. The first and second sloped surfaces abut each other to form a gasketless, fluid-tight seal therebetween with the valve assembly in a closed configuration. The valve member is spaced from the valve seat in an open configuration to permit the flow of the anesthetic from the receptacle. The valve assembly may also include an exterior groove and a toroidal sealing member disposed in the groove, the toroidal sealing member having an X-shaped cross-section.
