Various embodiments of a system for priming a catheter assembly are disclosed herein. For example, the system can include a catheter assembly including an elongate body and an operative device coupled thereto. The system can also include a priming vessel configured to receive insertion of the operative device therein. The priming vessel can include a proximal portion secured to the distal portion of the elongate body such that the elongate body is in fluid communication with the priming vessel. The priming vessel can also include a distal end through which air is expelled when a fluid is channeled through the elongate body and into the priming vessel to expel air from within the catheter assembly.

Fluid handling system

Various embodiments of a fluid handling system are disclosed herein. For example, the fluid handling system can include a catheter assembly and a console configured to control the operation of the catheter assembly. A removable interface member can be configured to provide fluid and electrical communication between the catheter assembly and the console.

A cooking device includes a gridiron; a tray positioned to catch material that falls from the gridiron; a cover formed to at least partially enclose the gridiron; a chimney having a chimney base and a chimney top, the chimney base and chimney top forming an airflow passage through the chimney; the chimney, gridiron, and cover arranged such that when the chimney base is placed over a heat source, convection occurs from the chimney base and out through the chimney top, to the cover, and from the cover toward the gridiron, the cover formed with a protruding inner wall above the chimney which forms a junction to channel substantially all of the convection in a motion outward toward sides of the cover and down toward the gridiron; the chimney base and the tray arranged such that when the chimney base is placed over the heat source, heat is radiated from the chimney base toward the tray; the chimney top and gridiron arranged such that when the chimney base is placed over the heat source, heat is radiated from the chimney top laterally across an upper surface of the gridiron; and the gridiron and the tray formed to at least partially surround the chimney top, the chimney top protruding through the gridiron and extending above it.

Devices dispense air treatment chemicals in response to heat generated by a candle. There is a support mounted on the candle that carries a substrate bearing the air treatment chemical. The support holds a heating plate with substrate thereon over the candle, and a chimney in the heating plate (and passage through the substrate) allow heated air to pass through when the candle wax is being combusted. Heat dispersal fins are formed along the chimney. A washer shaped substrate is provided that is made of fiberglass bound with polyvinyl alcohol and bears the air treatment chemical.
