  • Publication number: 20240074829
    Abstract: Tissue access devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. The devices can have a sensor configured to occlude a flow path by deflecting a membrane into the flow path when the devices become dislodged from tissue. The sensor can be configured to partially or fully occlude the flow path. The sensor can have a spring. The spring can be biased to move the sensor from a sensor first configuration to a sensor second configuration when a force applied by the sensor first surface against a non-sensor surface changes from a first force to a second force less than the first force. The membrane can be deflected into the flow path when the sensor is in the sensor second configuration.

  • Publication number: 20240075205
    Abstract: Tissue access devices and methods of using and making the same are disclosed. The devices can have a sensor configured to occlude a flow path by deflecting a membrane into the flow path when the devices become dislodged from tissue. The sensor can be configured to partially or fully occlude the flow path. The sensor can have a spring, can be a spring, or may not have a spring. The sensor can be static or can be moved from a sensor first configuration to a sensor second configuration. The membrane can be deflected into the flow path when the sensor is in the sensor second configuration.

  • Publication number: 20220354610
    Abstract: Tissue access devices and methods of using and making the same are disclosed. The devices can have a needle, a housing having wings, a tube having a flow channel, a tube first extension, and a tube second extension, and a torsion spring having a first coil and a second coil. The first coil can have a first coil first arm and a first coil second arm. The first coil first arm can be shorter than the first coil second arm. The second coil can have a second coil first arm and a second coil second arm. The second coil first arm can be shorter than the second coil second arm. The devices can have a sensor. More energy can stored in the torsion spring when the sensor is in a sensor closed configuration than when the sensor is in a sensor open configuration.

  • Publication number: 20120212321
    Abstract: A system and method for managing access to a plurality of carts. A plurality of users may be created in a database, each user having unique identifying information. Users may be grouped into user groups when having similar attributes. Each cart may have an entry in the database with associated attributes. Carts may be grouped into cart groups for carts having similar attributes. Users may be given access to cart either individually, through a user group that has access to the cart, by given access to an entire group of carts, or through a user group that has access to an entire group of carts. The various associations can be interwoven to provide groups and sub-groups for managing applications where multiple users must interact with multiple carts. The carts can store access logs which may be communicated in real time to a computing device or may be stored locally at the cart for later access by an administrator.
