Embodiment Construction

[0047] figure 1 An overview of the computerized ambulatory drug delivery (CADD) system of the present invention is shown in . As shown, the drug delivery system 1 of the present invention comprises a fluid line or tubing 2 connected to a fluid reservoir represented by a drug storage cartridge 3, more specifically to a fluid container or plastic container housed within the cartridge 3 on the fluid storage bag 3c. The conduit 2 may be an extension of the bag 3c and be in fluid communication with the bag 3c so that fluid medicament stored in the cassette can flow from the cassette to the conduit 2 . The system 1 also includes a catheter 6 which is docked or inserted into the patient during a procedure such as an epidural injection, wherein the catheter 6 is inserted into the spinal region of the patient with an epidural needle which is then inserted into the patient's spine. remove. The catheter 6 is shown connected to the tube holding device 8, when in the figure 1 In the cl...

Abstract

A drug delivery system has a fluid reservoir with a first conduit having an outlet equipped with a specially configured connector that prevents coupling of the connector with a conventional counterpart connector. The system also has a tube retaining device having a catheter extending from one end thereof and an inlet connection at its other end having a configuration complementary to that of the outlet connection of the first conduit so that the second A tubing is matably connectable to the tubing retainer to establish a fluid pathway from the first tubing to the catheter. One-way valves may be provided to the pipeline to prevent fluid from flowing back into the pipeline. Adapters that enable the inventive system to be used with conventional IV reservoirs and syringes are also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to medicament infusion systems, and more particularly to ambulatory infusion systems, having specially designed connections that prevent the system from being inadvertently connected to the wrong medicament for infusion to a patient. The present invention also relates to a connector usable with an inventive medicament infusion system, the connector having a connector and a finger grip configuration enabling the user to easily grip it, the connector being provided with such that it can only A feature that mates with a mating complementary connector. Background technique [0002] Medication infusion systems are known. Some of these systems include the use of portable or ambulatory medical infusion pumps in order to allow patients to maintain their daily activities while continuing to receive intravenous infusions administered by the medical infusion pumps. Such medical infusion pumps include those sold under the tradenames...
