[0045] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the color multifunctional tee and extension pipe connection device of this utility model embodiment.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the color multi-functional tee and extension pipe connection device provided according to the embodiment of this utility model includes a straight-out multi-way valve 10 and a first extension pipe 20.

[0047] Specifically, the straight-through multi-way valve 10 has a first port H101, a second port H102, and multiple bypass ports H103. The first port H101 and the second port H102 are located at both ends of the straight-through multi-way valve 10, respectively. The multiple bypass ports H103 are spaced apart in the axial direction of the straight-through multi-way valve 10 to provide a convenient connection and distribution method for parallel infusion of multiple drug solutions.

[0048] The first extension tube 20 is fixedly connected to the first port H101, for example, one end of the first extension tube 20 is integrally formed with the first port H101. In specific applications, the first extension tube 20 can be connected to needles such as infusion needles and puncture needles. When the needle is inserted into the patient's body, the medication can be delivered from the first port H101 of the direct-flow multi-port valve 10 through the first extension tube 20 and the needle to the patient's body. This structure, in which the first extension tube 20 is directly fixedly connected to the first port H101, allows for immediate puncture and use in clinical emergency situations without the need for manual connection of the first extension tube 20. Simply connect the needle to the first extension tube 20 for immediate puncture and use, saving emergency time.

[0049] The direct-flow multi-way valve 10 is equipped with multiple switch knobs 101, each corresponding to a bypass port H103, to control the opening and closing of the corresponding bypass port H103. Each switch knob 101 is color-coded. For example, if there are three switch knobs 101, they may be dark red, dark blue, and light pink, respectively. These bypass ports H103 can be connected to different infusion devices according to clinical needs to deliver different medications.

[0050] In other words, these switch knobs 101 use different colors to intuitively correspond to their respective bypass ports H103. The different colors of each switch knob 101 not only help medical personnel quickly identify and locate the target bypass port H103 during emergency or complex infusion procedures, but also effectively prevent medication mis-infusion due to operational errors in scenarios where multiple medications are used simultaneously. Each switch knob 101 can stably control the opening and closing state of its corresponding bypass port H103 whether it is open or closed, making the entire infusion process more controllable and safer.

[0051] According to the color-coded multi-functional tee and extension tube connection device provided in this embodiment of the invention, the direct-flow multi-way valve 10 has multiple switch knobs 101 marked with different colors, enabling intuitive differentiation of multiple bypass ports H103, improving identification accuracy, simplifying the operation process during simultaneous infusion of multiple medications, and reducing confusion caused by the inability to quickly identify due to a single color. Simultaneously, fixing the first extension tube 20 to the first port H101 of the direct-flow multi-way valve 10 effectively shortens the time required for medical personnel to manually connect tubing in emergency situations. This connection device optimizes the use of medication management and infusion systems in emergency environments such as ICUs, improving operational convenience and reducing the possibility of infusion risks due to operational errors, thereby enhancing medical safety and emergency response efficiency.

[0052] In practical applications, the second port can be connected to a second extension tube, which can be connected to the required infusion device as needed to deliver a medication. The second extension tube, detachably connected via the second port H102, improves convenience in clinical applications; it can be connected to the required infusion device as needed, meeting the requirements for multi-channel infusion in emergency situations such as ICUs.

[0053] Preferably, the bypass port H103 is a Luer male connector, and the second port H102 is a Luer female connector. The Luer connector ensures versatility in various injection devices used in clinical applications. Furthermore, its quick and reliable connection features enable rapid connection in clinical applications, improving efficiency in emergency situations.

[0054] Reference Figures 3 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of identification pendants 40 are also included. The plurality of identification pendants 40 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of switch knobs 101. Each identification pendant 40 is hung on the switch knob 101 to mark the infusion information of different bypass ports H103.

[0055] Each identification tag 40 displays detailed infusion information for its corresponding bypass port H103 using graphics and characters, including but not limited to the name, concentration, purpose, identification code, and other necessary information of the infused medication. This design allows medical personnel to quickly identify the type of fluid being infused through each bypass port H103 in emergency situations, reducing infusion errors caused by information confusion and improving overall operational efficiency and safety.

[0056] Each identification tag 40 is mounted on the switch knob 101 via a hanging method, which facilitates the installation and removal of the identification tag 40, prevents it from easily falling off the switch knob 101, and allows for quick identification and replacement of infusion information during clinical operations. Thus, on the one hand, the colored switch knob 101 directly reflects the different functions of the bypass port H103; on the other hand, the identification tag 40 identifies specific infusion information, forming an intuitive information interaction that ensures medical staff can obtain accurate infusion information in the shortest possible time. This combined design not only improves the flexibility of the equipment but also facilitates quick and easy operation during subsequent maintenance, cleaning, and information updates.

[0057] This embodiment of the invention introduces multiple identification tags 40, each corresponding to a switch knob 101, to provide intuitive labeling of infusion information for each bypass port H103. This not only effectively reduces the risk of information confusion during operation and improves the ability of medical personnel to quickly identify information in emergency situations or when multiple medications are being infused, but also further optimizes the modular management and information interaction of the overall device, thereby improving work efficiency and infusion safety during emergency treatment.

[0058] In one embodiment of this utility model, the labeling pendant 40 includes a label body 401 and a hanging head 402. The label body 401 is used to mark the infusion information of the bypass port H103. The label body 401 is typically a sheet-like plastic part. This sheet-like plastic part has the advantages of being lightweight, sturdy, and resistant to chemical corrosion, and can maintain the clarity and stability of the labeling information during long-term use. Labels including the name of the infusion solution, concentration, purpose, batch number, or other necessary information can be printed, pasted, or clipped onto the label body 401, enabling medical personnel to quickly identify the type of infused medication in emergency situations, thereby avoiding confusion and ensuring the accuracy and safety of treatment.

[0059] The hanging head 402 is located at the upper end of the label body 401. The hanging head 402 can be integrally formed with the label body 401, and the hanging head 402 has a hanging hole H401 that matches the switch knob 101. This design allows the label hanger 40 to be securely suspended on its corresponding switch knob 101, and it is not easy to fall off or move during infusion. The size and shape of the hanging hole H401 match the switch knob 101, ensuring that both hanging and removal can be achieved during actual use by medical personnel, thereby improving the overall convenience of operation.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, the switch knob 101 includes a neck 1011 and a knob portion 1012 disposed on the neck 1011. The diameter of the neck 1011 is smaller than the maximum size of the knob portion 1012. The hanging hole H401 is adapted to the knob portion 1012 and is hung on the neck 1011.

[0061] In this embodiment, the switch knob 101 includes a neck 1011 and a knob part 1012. The knob part 1012 is disposed on the neck 1011, and its surface is usually marked with color, such as dark red, dark blue or light pink, to intuitively distinguish the corresponding bypass port H103 and its infusion function. The size of the hanging hole H401 on the label pendant 40 matches that of the knob part 1012. After the hanging hole H401 passes through the knob part 1012, the label pendant 40 is released, and then the label pendant 40 can be hung on the neck 1011. The size of the knob part 1012 is larger than that of the neck 1011, thus ensuring that the label pendant 40 can be firmly fixed on the corresponding switch knob 101 and is not easy to fall off the knob part 1012. Furthermore, since the knob part 1012 is generally a non-circular structure for easy rotation operation, this irregular shape determines that the hanging hole H401 is also irregular in shape. When taking it out, it is necessary to ensure that the hanging hole H401 is completely aligned with the outer contour of the knob part 1012. Therefore, this further enhances the reliability of the label pendant 40 on the switch knob 101, and it is not easy to fall off under non-human-caused circumstances. Therefore, while ensuring that the label hanger 40 can be easily attached to the switch knob 101, it also ensures that the label hanger 40 is reliably attached and not easily falls off.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the label body 401 has a slot extending in the vertical direction, the upper end of the slot being open to form an insertion port for inserting a label into the slot.

[0063] The slot design allows the labels to be inserted vertically and then evenly adhered to the inner wall of the identification body 401, forming a flat display. This facilitates quick reading of specific infusion information for each channel by medical personnel in emergency situations. In practical use, medical personnel simply insert the label containing the necessary infusion information into the slot of the identification body 401 for rapid updating and identification of infusion information. This simplified operation process adapts to the need for changing information for different medications or infusion regimens, effectively ensuring the accuracy of information for each infusion line during emergency treatment or multi-drug infusions.

[0064] This embodiment achieves rapid insertion and installation of labels by providing slots that extend vertically and are open at the top on the label body 401, effectively improving the display effect and management efficiency of infusion information. This design not only simplifies information replacement operations but also ensures the accuracy of infusion information in each channel in emergency and complex infusion scenarios, enhancing the overall safety and reliability of the infusion system.

[0065] Preferably, the label 401 is made of a transparent material and / or the front surface of the label 401 has a window H402 communicating with the slot. By using a transparent material and / or providing a window H402 communicating with the slot on the front surface of the label 401, the intuitive display effect of the infusion information is improved, enabling medical staff to read the information on the label quickly and accurately.
