A device is for the administration of injectable products with controlled flow rate, with a container ( 23 ) in the form of both a syringe and an ampoule preloaded with the injectable product, an injection port ( 25 ) and a control valve ( 21 ) for controlling the outlet rate and pressure arranged between the injectable products and the injection port ( 25 ). A device for reducing the outlet flow rate depends on the pressure increase applied during the administration of the injectable product, the administration being moderated by closing the valve ( 21 ) when the pressure exceeds a predetermined limit. A device prevents the backflow of fluids during the administration of the injectable product. The valve ( 21 ) can be positioned both in the container ( 23 ) and at an injection end ( 27 ) including the injection port ( 25 ) which is coupled to the container ( 23 ).

The pellets ( 40 ) apply pressure to the valve element ( 34 ) so as to close the lumen ( 36 ) thereof. The pellets ( 40 ) are preferably made of a compressible material and such that when an element is inserted through the openings ( 30, 32 ) and thus through the valve assembly ( 18 ) the pellets ( 40 ) compress to allow opening of the lumen ( 36 ). The biasing force of the pellets ( 40 ) against the valve ( 34 ) provide constant sealing pressure to the valve assembly ( 18 ) without the need for any intervention by the clinician.

The connection device of the female portion includes a connection assembly with a molded-in slot, a release button, and a raised rib or alternatively is a connection opening. The connection device of the male portion includes a cantilevered region with a ramped engagement feature or alternatively is a raised cantilevered release button. When connected the cantilevered region or button deflects to accommodate the female portion until the ramped engagement feature or button engages the molded-in slot or connection opening, thus releasing the deflection. Depressing the release button disengages the latch allowing separation of the assembly.

Micromechanic passive flow regulator

Номер: US20120316492A1
Автор: Eric Chappel
Принадлежит: Debiotech SA

The invention concerns a flow regulator, made of a stack of 3 plates, respectively a top plate including a flexible membrane ( 1 ), a middle plate ( 2 ) with pillars and through holes and a bottom plate ( 3 ) with fluidic ports, micro channels and through holes ( 8,9,12 ). The principle is based on the deformation of the membrane due to the pressure of the liquid. The membrane goes in contact with the pillars of the middle plate, obstructing gradually the through holes of the pillars. The device is designed to keep the flow constant in a predefined range of pressure. The device is dedicated to ultra low flow rate up to 1 ml per day or below, typically for drug infusion. Plastic flow regulators comprise preferably several independent valves coupled in parallel. The membrane plate is therefore made of several flexible membranes obstructing gradually the flow by increasing the pressure. Stress limiters are used to avoid plastic deformation of the membrane. For implanted pump, the use of a flow regulator instead of a flow restrictor has several advantages, including the possibility to reduce significantly the reservoir pressure and to generate directly the pressure during the pump filling by using an elastic drug reservoir.

The system further has a tube retaining device that has a catheter extending out of one of its ends and an inlet connector at its other end that has a configuration complementary to the configuration of the outlet connector of the first tubing, so that the first tubing may be matingly connected to the tube retaining device to establish a through fluid path from the first tubing to the catheter. A one-way valve may be provided to the tubing to prevent fluid from flowing backwards into the tubing. The tubing can be selectively occluded and opened to regulate the flow of fluid from the tubing to the catheter.

Generally described herein are apparatus, systems and methods related to a pre-loaded septum insertable in an access port housing for increasing the control of the compression within the septum and the interference between the septum and the housing. For example, a pair of washers having mating portions may be positioned on respective sides of a rubber septum and bent such that the mating portions of one of the washer are interlocked with the mating portions of the other washer, the interlocked portions forming a tight ring about the septum and generating lateral compression on the septum, thereby “loading” the septum. In addition, fluid seals made of a rubber material with lower durometer than the rubber septum may be used at the interface between the rubber septum and the housing to enhance the fluid sealing functionality while promoting the self-sealing features of the rubber septum.
