Catheters () with monitoring capabilities that can upload sensed or acquired data to a smart device () and/or a Cloud server (). One or more sensors () can be located with a catheter assembly to collect data. The collected data can be processed by data analytics to analyze the data for usable information, such as to spot trends, patterns, and cause-effect relationships of the various detected conditions. The information can be viewed using an App or a web-browser dashboard or a local monitor.

Peripheral venous catheter assemblies with sensors and related methods

Needle assemblies and related methods in which a valve opener is used to push into a valve to open one or more slits on the valve to open the valve. The needle assemblies each includes a needle hub with a needle, a catheter tube with a catheter hub and the valve and valve opener positioned in the interior cavity of the catheter hub. The valve can have a valve skirt and a nose section of the valve opener can locate therein. One or more reliefs can be provided with the valve opener so that an elbow or diagonal section on a needle guard can project from a holding space within the valve opener through the relief.

Catheter devices with valves and related methods

Valves are described for intravenous (IV) catheter assemblies for controlling fluidic flow. The valve can prevent blood leakage in multiple access use situations. A thinner area of the valve around a slit is provided. The thicker area of the valve is to provide rigidity to the valve so that it is able to return to a closed configuration when a Luer connector is removed.

Valved catheter assemblies and related methods

Needle assemblies, such as catheter devices, and related methods having a needle hub with a needle, a catheter tube with a catheter hub and having the needle extending through the catheter tube. A valve is positioned in an interior cavity of the catheter hub and a valve actuator having an extension leg with an engagement section for supporting an arm of a needle safety clip when the safety clip is located in the interior cavity of the catheter hub.

Needle assemblies and related methods having a needle hub with a needle, a catheter tube with a catheter hub and having the needle extending through the catheter tube in a ready to use position. A valve is positioned in an interior cavity of the catheter hub, the valve having sections that can deflect in a distal direction and sections that can deflect in a proximal direction to open a fluid flow path through the valve. The valve can be deflected by a multi-piece valve opener.
