A fluid extraction device is provided for extracting fluid from a syringe assembly including a syringe port and a sleeve. The device includes a body with first and second ends, the first end defining a fluid entry port, and the second end defining a fluid exit port. A channel through the body connects the fluid entry and fluid exit ports. At least one push member extends radially from the body and is configured to contact the sleeve of the syringe assembly in use such to push it from a first position in which the sleeve closes the syringe port to a second position in which the sleeve exposes the syringe port.

Module for a sharps retraction device

A device for inserting an infusion cannula, or sensor, into a patient is presented. The device comprises an insertion needle removable within the infusion cannula, a handle connected to the insertion needle, and a needle cover. The needle cover pivotably mounted on the handle is rotatably movable between a first position, i.e., the front of the insertion needle is in the needle cover, and a second position, i.e., the front is exposed. An infusion site interface comprises a body mounted on a pad attached to the patient; an infusion cannula for inserting into the patient that is connected to the body; a cavity within the body fluidly connected to the cannula; and a septum that seals closed the cavity. The septum is penetrable by an insertion needle in the infusion cannula and by a hollow needle of an infusion tubing connector coupled to the infusion site interface.

Infusion site interfaces and insertion devices for infusion site interfaces

A medical device comprising an outer housing () having a first wall () defining a first passage () with proximal and distal ends. A retraction housing () is slidably received in the first passage (), the retraction housing () having proximal and distal ends and a wall with an interior surface wall defining a helical path (). Part of the device includes a carriage () for releasably receiving a medical sharp (), the carriage () slidably received in the distal end of the retraction housing (). A latch means () is present for retaining the carriage () in a first position in the retraction housing (). A follower () is connected to the carriage () and engaged with the helical path (). A stored energy device () is connected to the follower () and the carriage (). An actuation means () is operable to move the retraction housing () towards the distal end of the first passage (), thereby to release the latch means () such that the stored energy device () is operable to drive the follower () along the helical path () and to retract the carriage () towards the proximal end of the retraction housing ().

Sharps retraction device

An insertion device for an infusion set, the insertion device including a two-part housing and a retainer or a retention means by which the infusion set can be temporarily held on the device, and a driver or a drive means including a pretensionable spring for providing the drive energy for an insertion movement of the infusion set, wherein one of the housing parts can be pivoted relative to the other to engage the infusion set and, after engagement of the infusion set, they can be pivoted again, as a result of which the spring is pretensioned and the insertion device is brought to a ready-to-use state. After the insertion movement has been triggered, the infusion set is separated from the device, such that it can execute the greatest part of the insertion movement free of the retainer.
