Aspects of the disclosure relate to lateral flow assays having a number of different detection zones tuned to extend the dynamic range of the assay in indicating concentration of a hazardous contaminant in a test sample. Some aspects relate to assay reader devices configured with instructions to generate a result representing the concentration of the hazardous contaminant in the test sample based on some or all of the detection zones.

High dynamic range assays in hazardous contaminant testing

A visual indicator of a smart device and a visual indicator of a medication source device may be controlled to produce a same type of visual output based on a communication established between the medication source device and the smart device, The medication source device may be connected to a lumen, the smart device may be configured to be connected to the lumen, and the same type of visual output may be associated with the lumen. A compatibility of a first type of medication delivered or scheduled to be delivered via the lumen to a patient and a second type of medication delivered or scheduled to be delivered via the lumen to the patient may be determined to an indication of whether the second type of medication is compatible for delivery via the same lumen associated with the same type of visual output.

System, method, and product for identifying a lumen

Container filling systems are described herein. A container filling system includes a container assembly, a nozzle, a first roller and a second roller. The container assembly includes a plurality of containers, each having a container volume and a fluid manifold defining a fluid pathway, wherein the fluid pathway is in fluid communication with the container volume of each of the plurality of containers. The nozzle is in fluid communication with the fluid pathway, wherein the nozzle directs flow from a fluid source into the fluid pathway. The nozzle separates the fluid manifold into a first portion and a second portion to permit the fluid manifold to advance relative to the nozzle.

System for filling containers with medical fluids

Contamination detection systems, kits, and techniques are described for testing surfaces for the presence of hazardous contaminants, while minimizing user exposure to these contaminants. Even trace amounts of contaminants can be detected. A collection kit provides a swab that is simple to use, easy to hold and grip, allows the user to swab large areas of a surface, and keeps the user's hands away from the surface being tested. The kit also provides open and closed fluid transfer mechanism to transfer the collected fluid to a detection device while minimizing user exposure to hazardous contaminants in the collected fluid. Contamination detection kits can rapidly collect and detect hazardous drugs, including trace amounts of antineoplastic agents, in healthcare settings at the site of contamination.

Hazardous contaminant collection kit and rapid testing

A catheter assembly comprising a catheter carried by a catheter adapter, a needle having a sharp distal tip and disposed in the catheter such that in a first needle position, the needle extends beyond the catheter, a damping mechanism fixed adjacent to a proximal end of the needle, and a barrel assembly configured to surround the damping mechanism, the barrel assembly including first and second inner diameters, wherein when the needle is retracted into the barrel assembly away from the first needle position, the needle moves in accordance with a needle retraction speed profile, and the needle retraction speed profile is based on the interaction between the first and second inner diameters of the barrel assembly and the damping mechanism.

Catheter assembly

Aspects of the disclosure relate to augmented reality devices for generating a composite scene including a real-world test environment and an augmented reality overlay visually representing a test area of the environment. Some devices can include wearable displays for displaying an overlay to a user, and other devices can include projectors for illuminating the test environment with the overlay.

Augmented reality devices for hazardous contaminant testing

A catheter assembly () comprising a catheter (), a needle () having a sharp distal tip (), and a catheter hub () connected to the catheter () having the needle () passing therethrough, the catheter hub () including a valve () having a preformed opening () that selectively permits or blocks a flow of fluid through the catheter (), a first inner diameter () that closes the valve (), and a second inner diameter () larger than the first inner diameter (), the second inner diameter () opening the valve (), wherein the valve () is in an open position upon axially compressing the valve () into engagement with the second inner diameter () of the catheter hub (), and the valve () is in a closed position upon releasing the valve () to engage the first inner diameter () of the catheter hub ().

Safety IV catheter with molded-open blood control valve

A catheter assembly including a catheter carried by a catheter adapter, a needle having a sharp distal tip and disposed in the catheter such that in a first needle position, the needle extending beyond the catheter, a needle hub fixed adjacent to a proximal end of the needle, a clip disposed in the catheter adapter and cooperating with the needle, and a barrel assembly including an inner diameter, wherein when the needle is in a second needle position, the clip encloses the distal tip of the needle, and when the needle moves to a third needle position, the clip and the needle is disposed in the inner diameter of the barrel assembly.

Described herein is a programmable portable infusion device. The infusion device may include electronics such as sensors, and can be programmed to detect parameters related to the proper administration of infusion. If the sensors detect that a parameter is outside of a defined boundary or range, the infusion device may notify a user that it may not be safe to administer infusion and may prevent infusion from occurring.
