Fluid delivery devices, systems and methods. The fluid delivery devices may be used to delivery fluid (e.g., insulin) to a user. The devices may have one or more inlets, and may be configured for use with an injection device, such as a syringe, and/or with a pump.

Fluid delivery devices, systems and methods

Insertion devices for installing insertion sets to a user, insertion needles, methods for loading insertion devices with insertion sets, methods for installing insertion sets, methods for instructing others how to load and/or install insertion sets, and certain aspects of insertion sets, including insertion needle hubs.

Insertion devices, insertion needles, and related methods

An ocular implantation device comprises a housing having a longitudinal axis, a needle configured to receive an implant, and a plunger and a rod operatively coupled together. The plunger and the rod are disposed in the housing and are collectively, translationally moveable along the longitudinal axis of the housing. The rod is configured to be receivable within at least a portion of the needle to enable the rod to move the implant therethrough. An actuator is operatively engaged with the plunger such that movement of the actuator in a direction aligned with the longitudinal axis of the housing results in the translational movement of the plunger and the rod along the longitudinal axis of the housing in order to deliver the implant through the needle to a target site. An alternative embodiment of an ocular implantation device uses a retractable needle to deliver an implant.

Ocular implantation device

A cassette () that is insertable into an infusion pump for delivery of a fluid to a subject that has a housing with two ends for holding flexible tubing () through which the fluid is directed. The housing has an open area exposing the tubing, which engages a pumping mechanism when inserted into an infusion pump. An anti-flow valve mechanism () associated with the tubing or the cassette and present either in, on or near the housing is made up of a piston () and spring (), where the spring biases the piston against the tubing to prevent fluid flow.

Infusion pump cassette with anti-free-flow valve mechanism

A fluid delivery system that includes an infusion pump and a cassette () with tubing () that is configured for engaging the pump mechanism of the infusion pump to accurately and repeatably deliver a fluid to a subject. The cassette has a housing with first and second ends for holding flexible tubing through which the fluid is directed, and the tubing engages a pumping mechanism to provide movement of the fluid through the tubing. When engaged with the pumping mechanism, the length of tubing is accurately and repeatably positioned in contact with and between the curved wall and the pumping mechanism.

The present disclosure provides cassettes and methods of using same for the delivery of fluids to a patient using fluid delivery systems. In a general embodiment, the cassettes of the present disclosure include a flexible tube, a housing having a recessed area and first and second ends for holding the flexible tube, and at least two additional components including, for example, different sensors, false reading components for sensors, anti-flow valve means, insertion guides, directional indicators, latch mechanisms, kink-prevention notches, etc. Such additional components provide the cassettes of the present disclosure with several advantages including, for example, quality control, efficiency of use, cost effectiveness, and safety of use.

Cassettes and methods of using same

A subcutaneous infusion set. The subcutaneous infusion set may include a base for providing an infusion path; a cannula connected to and extending away from the base; a connector removably attachable to the base; and a tubing affixed to the connector. The connector may be limitedly rotatable on the base when the connector is removably attached to the base. Also, a contiguous pass for passing fluids may be formed from the tubing to the cannula when the connector is removably attached to the base.

Subcutaneous infusion set

An infusion set for subcutaneous delivery of an infusant. The infusion set may include a base removably attachable to an infusion site and a connector temporarily lockable to the base. The connector can engage the base in a plurality of orientations. The connector locks into the base after at least partial rotation of the connector about the base. The connector may include flexible arms which unlock the connector from the base. The base includes a cannula for insertion through the infusion site. The connector includes a tubing for passing the infusant. The infusant is subcutaneously passable from the tubing through the cannula when the connector is attached to the base. The infusion set may also include a hub removably attachable to the base that includes a needle that extends through the base and the cannula and a guard removably attachable to the base opposite the hub for surrounding the needle.

Multi-position infusion set device and process

An inline oiler cartridge assembly for a pneumatically powered instrument includes a housing, a first conduit and a second conduit. The housing includes a lower portion removably attached to an upper portion. The lower portion defines an inner cavity and an outer cavity. A source of oil is disposed in the inner cavity. A dry fiber cellulose material is disposed in the outer cavity. The first conduit has a first end for attachment to a source of pressurized air and a second end for attachment to a pneumatically powered instrument. The first conduit passes through a portion of the upper portion of the housing and defines a channel for transmission of the source of pressurized air. The channel is in fluid communication with the inner cavity such that the source of pressurized air draws oil into an air stream for delivery to the pneumatically powered instrument.
