Filed:

Oct 16, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/981365

Inventors:

James Ramsey - Coto de Caza CA
Daniel R. Puchek - San Antonio TX
David Cocke - San Antonio TX
Bret Price - San Antonio TX

Assignee:

Cetus, LC - San Antonio TX

International Classification:

A61B 1712

US Classification:

606120, 606157

Abstract:

A device includes first and second clamps each having an upper arm and a lower arm, and a cutting blade attached to one of the clamps. According to the invention, the upper arms of the first and second clamps are each provided with an upper clamping surface, and a directing member having a deformable cord gripping surface. The lower arms of the first and second clamps are each provided with a lower clamping surface, and a cord gripping surface. The clamping surfaces function to occlude the flow of blood through cut ends of the cord after the cord is cut by the blade, while the cord gripping surfaces function to prevent cord slippage prior to clamping by the clamping surfaces. Preferred gripping surfaces include deformable foam or resilient strips provided with teeth.

International Classification:

A61M 37/00
A61M 1/00

US Classification:

604155, 604151, 604131

Abstract:

A novel one-piece fluid reservoir assembly for use in conjunction with an insulin infusion pump. The single piece fluid reservoir assembly includes a barrel body, a male luer fitting integral with the barrel body, a sealing surface integral with the barrel body, the sealing surface for sealing against the pump housing when the fluid reservoir assembly is inserted into the pump housing. Further, the barrel includes, as part of the one-piece fluid reservoir assembly, threads for engagement with threads on an opening in the fluid pump so that the fluid assembly can be inserted into the fluid pump, engage the threads and rotation therewith will locate the fluid reservoir assembly within the pump. Thereafter, a piston in the pump may be incrementally advanced to act upon a plunger in the barrel assembly to force a fluid within the barrel assembly through the male luer fitting and through a conduit engaged therewith to a remote infusion set.

International Classification:

A61M 5/158
A61M 5/142

Abstract:

The present application relates to an infusion set (). The infusion set () has a base () for mounting on a user, and a connector () which engages with the base () to form a flow path between the connector () and a cannula mountable on the base (). The connector () is configured to be selectably mountable to the base () in at least two predetermined mounting orientations. The present application also relates to an infusion set base (), an infusion set connector (), an infusion set cannula, and a method of assembling an infusion set ().
