International Classification:

A61B005/05
A61B010/00

US Classification:

600/407000, 128/920000, 604/065000

Abstract:

A communication station is for use with a medical device (such as an infusion pump) and a processing device (such as a computer). The communication station includes a housing, a medical device interface coupled to the housing, a processing device interface coupled to the housing and a processor coupled to the housing. The device interface interfaces with the medical device, and the processing device interface interfaces with the processing device. The processor provides a communication path between the medical device and the processing device such that programming and instructions may be communicated from the processing device to the medical device and data may be transferred from the medical device to the processing device. The communication station may be combined with a system that is capable of generating reports either locally or remotely. In addition, the medical device interface may be a cradle that is configurable to attach to different shaped medical devices.

International Classification:

A61M 5/00

US Classification:

604110000, 604093010, 128919000

Abstract:

An insertion device, generally used with an infusion set, including a needle being adapted for puncturing at one end and including at the opposite end a hub. The hub includes a handle part and a guard part that are capable of securing the needle through the use of locks. Locking structures are used to secure the insertion device in a position where the needle is covered in a locked position, avoiding unintended contact with the needle.

International Classification:

A61M 31/00

US Classification:

604093010

Abstract:

A needle guard for an insertion device generally used with an infusion set. The needle of the insertion device is commonly adapted for puncturing at one end and including at the opposite end a hub. The needle guard includes an opening adapted to receive the insertion device and a locking mechanism adapted to secure the insertion device in the needle guard. By pushing the needle hub into the needle guard for disposal, barbs on the needle hub will mate with undercuts on the inside of the needle guard and secure the needle hub in a position where the needle is covered, preventing unintended contact with the needle.

Paul Cheney - Winnetka CA, US

International Classification:

A61M 5/32

US Classification:

604272000

Abstract:

A needle structure for communicating media to or from a patient includes a hollow shaft having two ends and a longitudinal dimension between the two ends. A passage is provided along at least a portion of its longitudinal dimension for conveying a flowable media. The shaft has at least one bend along its longitudinal dimension to dampen motion of one end of the needle relative to the other end of the needle.

International Classification:

A61M 31/00

US Classification:

604500000, 604890100, 604093010

Abstract:

An infusion media delivery device includes a durable housing portion and a separable disposable portion that selectively engage and disengage from each other. The disposable housing portion secures to the patient and may be disposed of after it has been in use for a prescribed period. The disposable housing portion supports an infusion media reservoir and a needle on a moveable platform. The platform is moveable between a first position in which a needle is disengaged with a patient and a second position in which the needle is engaged with the patient.

US Classification:

604500000, 604093010, 604890100, 604174000

Abstract:

A delivery device includes a durable housing portion and a separable disposable portion that selectively engage and disengage from each other. The disposable housing portion secures to the patient and may be disposed of after it has been in use for a prescribed period. Components that normally come into contact with a patient or with infusion media are supported by the disposable housing portion for disposal after the prescribed use, while the durable housing portion supports electronics for controlling delivery of infusion media from the reservoir and a drive device and drive linkage.

International Classification:

A61M 31/00

US Classification:

604500000, 604890100

Abstract:

An infusion media delivery device includes a housing having a base adapted to be secured to a user's skin. An infusion media reservoir is supported by the housing. A moveable hollow needle is selectively engageable with the reservoir to communicate infusion media from the reservoir. The needle is supported for movement relative to the housing base between a first position and a second position. The needle is spaced apart from a user's skin when in the first position and the base is secured to the user's skin, and the needle is arranged to pierce the user's skin when in the second position and the base is secured to the user's skin.
