An infusion device () for administering a medical fluid to a patient comprises a housing (), a receptacle () arranged on the housing () for receiving a syringe (), a syringe driver () movable in a driving direction (P) for acting onto a piston () of a syringe () received on the receptacle (), and a drive mechanism () for electromotively driving the syringe driver () along the driving direction (P), the drive mechanism () comprising an electric drive motor () and a rotatable drive element () operatively coupled to the syringe driver () for moving the syringe driver () along the driving direction (P). Herein, the drive mechanism () comprises a clutch device () configured, in a coupled state, to couple the drive device () to the drive element () such that the drive device () is operative to drive the drive element () and, in an uncoupled state, to uncouple the drive device () from the drive element ().

A clamping device () for fixing a medical device () on a support () comprises a body () having a first jaw (), an adjustment element () connected to a second jaw () and being adjustable with respect to the body () along a longitudinal axis (L) to establish a clamp connection with a support () in between the first jaw () and the second jaw (), and a locking mechanism () for locking the adjustment element () with respect to the body () in a longitudinal position. Herein, the locking mechanism () comprises a coupling element () coupled to the adjustment element () and a locking element () coupled to the coupling element (), wherein the adjustment element () is rotatable about the longitudinal axis (L) to thereby move the coupling element () and, by moving the coupling element (), shift the locking element () with respect to the adjustment element () in order to engage the locking element () with the adjustment element () for locking the adjustment element () in its current longitudinal position or to disengage the locking element () from the adjustment element () in order to unlock the adjustment element () to allow a moving of the adjustment element () along the longitudinal axis (L).

The invention relates to a holding device for a syringe pump, the holding device being configured for holding the barrel of a syringe and comprising a rotatable holding member () which is rotatable from an open into a closed position, wherein the holding member () is configured in such a way that in the closed position the syringe barrel will be secured between a portion of the rotatable holding member () and a fixed section of the syringe pump. According to the invention, a damping device () configured to dampen the movement of the rotatable holding member () from the open into the closed position.

For controlling the movement of the push device of a pump of the syringe driver-type, the pump comprising a casing (), a syringe cradle () for a syringe (), a push device () mobile relative to the casing () and capable of being driven in rotation parallel to the longitudinal axis of the syringe by driving means, clutch means () for engaging or disengaging the push device on the driving means, the push device is disengaged from the driving means, in order to move it manually, and the presence or absence of a contact between the push device and the syringe head is determined. If the push device is not in contact with the syringe head, it is advanced manually. Blocking of the advance movement of the push device is triggered only if, at the beginning, the push device was not in contact with the syringe head.

Anti-bolus control method and corresponding device

The invention concerns a tube pump comprising a cradle () with a cavity () suitable for the accommodation of a tube clamp (). It further concerns a tube clamp () for a flexible tube, the tube clamp being suitable for accommodation in a tube pump, the tube clamp having a mobile part and an immobile part () designed to penetrate at least partly into a housing () realized in the tube pump. The invention also concerns a perfusion set. Finally, the invention concerns a system comprising a tube pump and a tube clamp. In order to provide a system comprising a tube pump and a tube clamp with improved operation safety, the tube pump has a cavity () with at least one protrusion () and the tube clamp () has means () for snapping attachment of the tube clamp behind the protrusion (). This arrangement allows to fix the tube clamp () safely in the cavity () and to give furthermore a feedback to the user because he feels (and he might in addition hear) that the tube clamp has snapped behind the protrusion. A further advantage resides in the fact that the solution according to the present invention can be put in place without significantly increasing the costs of the parts involved in the invention.

Tube pump, tube clamp, perfusion set and system comprising a tube pump and a tube clamp

A clamp () for a flexible tube, in particular an infusion tube, composed of a substantially U-shaped plastic band, the free end () of the first branch () of the U being bent over to form the clamp head (), to the free end () of the second branch, or back (), so that, when closed, the back's free end () rests under the head's free end (), and when opened, the back's free end () is at a distance above the head's free end (. The clamp has openings () for extending a flexible tube and two opposite projections () for obturating the flexible tube by compressing it when the clamp is closed. Locking means () prevent the head end () from moving away from the back end () when the clamp () is in the closed position.

The invention relates to a clamp () for a flexible tube, in particular an infusion tube, composed of a substantially U-shaped plastic band, the free end () of the first branch () of the U being bent over, so as to form the head () of the clamp, to the free end () of the second branch, called the back (), in such a way that, in the closed position, the free end () of the back () is situated resting under the free end () of the head (), whereas, in the opened position, the free end () of the back () is situated at a distance above the free end () of the head (), the clamp having a pair of openings () to allow a flexible tube to extend through the clamp and be supported by the latter, and two opposite projections () for obturating the flexible tube by compressing it when the clamp is in the closed position. The invention also relates to a pump provided with means for opening a clamp according to the invention, to an infusion kit provided with a clamp according to the invention, and to a combination of a pump according to the invention and an infusion kit according to the invention. According to the invention, locking means () are provided in order to ensure that the head end () does not move away from the back end () when the clamp () is in the closed position.

A device for securing an object on a holder includes a platen attached to the object, a tightening element that pivots relative to the platen so that it can be folded back against the platen or raised perpendicularly to the platen. A lock is provided for locking the tightening element in the position perpendicular to the platen. The lock includes a tab that moves between a stowed position in which, when the tightening element is in the raised position, the tab bears against the tightening element and blocks it in this position, and a drawn out position in which the tab allows the tightening element to pivot towards the platen so that, in the folded position of the tightening element, the tab bears against a face of the tightening means different from the inner face.
