A medical device package includes a body with at least one chamber therein, a proximal end and a distal end. The medical device package also includes at least one deformable projection within the chamber(s). Furthermore, the deformable projection is configured to deform resiliently upon contact with a medical device during insertion of the medical device into the chamber and, thereby, removably retain the medical device within the chamber.

Medical device package with deformable projections

A system for facilitating the delivery of a liquid anesthetic agent from an anesthetic bottle to an anesthetic vaporizer. The system includes a bottle adapter, an anesthetic bottle and a filler arrangement positioned on the anesthetic vaporizer. The bottle adapter and filler arrangement each include a keyed configuration such that only the correct type of anesthetic agent can be emptied into the anesthetic vaporizer. The bottle adapter includes an adapter valve assembly that engages a filler valve assembly contained within the filler. The dimensions and arrangement of the adapter valve assembly and the filler valve assembly insure anesthetic agent is delivered to the anesthetic vaporizer only when the anesthetic agent can safely flow from the anesthetic bottle to the anesthetic vaporizer.

Keyed anesthetic vaporizer filling system

A filling system for use between an anesthetic storage container and a drug reservoir of an anesthetic vaporizer to prevent overfilling of the drug reservoir. The filling system includes a filling conduit that extends between the drug reservoir and the anesthetic storage container to allow a liquid anesthetic agent to flow from the storage container to the drug reservoir. A closing valve is positioned adjacent to a flow opening of a filling conduit such that the closing valve can be moved to a closed position to prevent the flow of anesthetic agent into the drug reservoir. The closing valve includes a float that controls the opening and closing of the closing valve depending upon the level of the anesthetic agent within the drug reservoir.
