Abstract: A fluid flow disconnect sensor and alarm system includes first and second sensor units configured to be removably coupled to a first and second portions of a fluid connector assembly, respectively. The first sensor unit comprises a sensor configured to sense when the second sensor unit is within a threshold distance of the first sensor unit, and comprises a transmitter configured to transmit, to a device remote from the first and second sensor units, an indication regarding whether the first and second portions of the fluid connector assembly are coupled together responsive to the sensing. A computing device receiving the indication determines when the first and second portions of the fluid connector assembly are coupled together, and when the assembly becomes disconnected, and may generate an alarm when the first and second portions become disconnected.

Abstract: A protective membrane for a medical luer connector may include a cover having an upper surface, a lower surface having a mating portion for coupling to a mating surface of the medical luer connector, and an outer perimetal surface. The protective membrane may further include a flexible pull tab extending from the outer perimetal surface of the cover, and an adhesive overlaying the mating portion of the lower surface for adhering to the mating surface of the medical luer connector.

Abstract: Fluid manifolds are described herein. A fluid manifold includes a manifold body and a valve. The manifold body defines an inlet port, an outlet port, a flow channel, and a divider volume. The flow channel is in fluid communication with the inlet port and the outlet port. The divider volume is in fluid communication with the injection port and the flow channel. The valve includes a divider body. The divider body is movable within the divider volume. The divider body defines a divider port. The divider body can be moved to restrict or prevent flow from the injection port to the flow channel in a first position. The divider port can permit flow from the injection port to the flow channel in the second position of the divider body.

Abstract: Flow controllers for intravenous (IV) tubing are provided. A flow controller may include a first structural member comprising a first outer surface and a first inner surface disposed at an angle to the first outer surface, a second structural member comprising a second outer surface parallel to the first outer surface and a second continuous inner surface parallel to the first inner surface, and a third structural member disposed on one of the first or second structural member and having a friction-reducing surface for at least a portion of a cavity disposed between the first and second structural members. The first structural member is linearly slidable along a length of the IV tubing disposed in the cavity to compress a portion of the IV tubing to control flow of a medical fluid through the IV tubing. Other flow controllers and IV sets that include a flow controller are also provided.
