  • Patent number: 12467832
    Abstract: Various implementations include a reversible flow sampler including a housing, a housing cover, and a shuttle. The housing defines a sampler chamber with an inlet and an outlet, a first opening, and a second opening. The shuttle is movably disposed within the housing and coupled to the housing cover. The shuttle has a first shuttle position and a second shuttle position. In the first shuttle position, the shuttle fluidly connects the first opening with the sample chamber inlet and fluidly connects the second opening with the sample chamber outlet. In the second shuttle position, the shuttle fluidly connects the second opening with the sample chamber inlet and fluidly connects the first opening with the sample chamber outlet.

  • Publication number: 20060122562
    Abstract: An infusion device capable of administering liquid medication at a continuous flow rate, and upon user demand delivers a controlled volume dosage of liquid medication at a higher dosage flow rate. The dosage reservoir remains empty until the user actuates it by selectively and temporarily removing the pressure source, such as a spring. During actuation, fluid rapidly flows from the medication reservoir to fill the dosage reservoir. After actuation, the pressure source exerts a higher pressure on the dosage reservoir than the medication reservoir pressure, which results in a temporary higher bolus flow rate. Thus, two distinct flow rates are achieved with one flow restrictor element.
