A medical connector for connection to a corresponding medical connector is described. The medical connector includes a housing having a radial protrusion and a cavity, the cavity defined by a closed end, an open end, a partially cylindrical sidewall and a radial sidewall. The medical connector further includes an insert disposed within the housing, the insert including a locking tab having at least one thread on the inner wall of the locking tab and a recessed notch on the outer wall of the locking tab. The at least one thread of the locking tab engages at least one thread of a corresponding medical connector. Disposed within the cavity, the recessed notch rotates from a first position to a second position, wherein the second position contains a locking structure for non-removably securing the insert to the housing, while allowing for removal of the corresponding medical connector.

Detection systems for a syringe assembly that provide precision in monitoring the amount of fluid contained within the syringe barrel, detecting motion of the plunger within the syringe barrel, detecting the position of the plunger within the syringe barrel, and/or monitoring the volume received within or delivered by the syringe assembly are disclosed. A detection system of the present disclosure allows a sensor in communication with a portion of a plunger assembly to sense the motion of a plunger rod relative to a syringe barrel and thereby volume received within or delivered by the syringe by reading gradations having an identifier directly as the plunger rod with sensor moves past each respective gradation with identifier.

Detection system for syringe assembly

A adjustable image capture device that includes a housing, a linkage assembly having a bore and including a plurality of linkages, and where each linkage has a bore, and the bores of the plurality of linkages define the bore of the linkage assembly, and an image capture device, wherein the image capture device is configured to fit within a bore of the linkage assembly, where the linkage assembly is configured to fit within the housing, where, when the linkage assembly is in a first state, each linkage of the plurality of linkages are positioned inside a channel of the housing, and where, when the linkage assembly is in a second state, one or more of the linkages of the plurality of linkages are positioned outside the channel of the housing.

Adjustable image capture device

A method may include obtaining, with a first temperature sensor, a first temperature measurement at a first location on a body of a patient adjacent a catheter insertion site of a catheter; obtaining, with an array of temperature sensors, a plurality of temperature measurements at a plurality of locations on the body of the patient, each of the plurality of locations being spaced apart from the first location, and the plurality of locations including locations at a plurality of different distances from the first location; determining, with at least one processor, based on the first temperature measurement and the plurality of temperature measurements, an alert condition associated with a dressing and/or securement device and/or the catheter; and in response to determining the alert condition, generating, with at least one processor, an alert to a user.

Container filling systems are described herein. A container filling system includes a container assembly, a nozzle, a first roller and a second roller. The container assembly includes a plurality of containers, each having a container volume and a fluid manifold defining a fluid pathway, wherein the fluid pathway is in fluid communication with the container volume of each of the plurality of containers. The nozzle is in fluid communication with the fluid pathway, wherein the nozzle directs flow from a fluid source into the fluid pathway. The nozzle separates the fluid manifold into a first portion and a second portion to permit the fluid manifold to advance relative to the nozzle.

System for filling containers with medical fluids

A cleaning device having a handle portion and a surface contacting portion, at least one of the handle portion and the surface contacting portion having a pressure indicator, wherein the pressure indicator provides a reversible signal in response to a certain pressure applied to the cleaning device that is within a certain pressure range.

Device with indicator

A method for signifying a selected cumulative scrubbing action between a device and a surface, the cumulative scrubbing action being signified by a signaling element, wherein the signaling element is configured to provide an observable signal when the selected cumulative scrubbing action has been provided to the surface. The method may comprise applying scrubbing action to the signaling element to release and/or expose at least a first portion of an indicator, and observing the device and/or surface for the signal. The present disclosure also relates to signaling elements and devices for use according to the methods of the present disclosure, and to methods of preparing the same.

Method and devices for signifying scrubbing action

Drug delivery safety devices comprise a safety needle device comprising a needle hub, a needle cannula, and a safety feature; and a cap comprising a cap body having a proximal end attached to the safety needle device and a distal end having an access opening that is in fluid communication with the needle cannula. The safety needle device allow for an integrated device for both filling and injection that do not interfere with passive safety features. The caps may have a fill feature that engages with a safety feature of the safety needle device to keep it in a fill state.

Caps for integrated fill and inject of safety needle devices

A biological fluid collection device that is adapted to receive a blood sample having a cellular portion and a plasma portion is disclosed. After collecting the blood sample, the biological fluid collection device is able to transfer the blood sample to a point-of-care testing device or a biological fluid separation and testing device. After transferring the blood sample, the biological fluid separation and testing device is able to separate the plasma portion from the cellular portion and analyze the blood sample and obtain test results.

Biological fluid collection device and biological fluid separation and testing system

A novel blood collection device is described to secure a needle in place in a placenta or umbilical cord to prevent needle stick before, during, and after cord blood collection procedure.

Placental and cord blood collection device with safety

A blood separation and testing system for a blood sample is disclosed. The blood separation and testing system includes a blood sampling transfer device adapted to receive a blood sample, a blood separation device, and a blood testing device. The blood separation device is adapted to receive a portion of the blood sampling transfer device such that with the blood sampling transfer device received within the blood separation device and a rotational force applied to the blood sampling transfer device, a plasma portion of the blood sample is separated from a cellular portion of the blood sample. The blood testing device is adapted to receive a portion of the blood sampling transfer device to analyze the plasma portion of the blood sample and obtain test results.

Biological fluid sampling transfer device and biological fluid separation and testing system

A biological fluid collection device that is adapted to receive a multi-component blood sample having a cellular portion and a plasma portion is disclosed. After collecting the blood sample, the biological fluid collection device is able to separate the plasma portion from the cellular portion. After separation, the biological fluid collection device is able to transfer the plasma portion of the blood sample to a point-of-care testing device. The biological fluid collection device also provides a closed sampling and transfer system that reduces the exposure of a blood sample and provides fast mixing of a blood sample with an anticoagulant. The biological fluid collection device is engageable with a testing device for closed transfer of a portion of the plasma portion from the biological fluid collection device to the testing device. The testing device is adapted to receive the plasma portion to analyze the blood sample and obtain test results.
