Abstract
Claims
1. A multi-light extension system, comprising: a first light forming a fluidic channel within the multi-light extension system; a second light forming a non-fluidic channel within the multi-light extension system; a permeability instrument housed within the second light; a seal between the first light and the second light to prevent fluid from entering the second light from the first light; and a handle formed along the second light and operatively coupled to the permeability instrument housed within the second light to selectively move the permeability instrument along the second light.
2. The multi-light extension system of claim 1, wherein the first light and the second light are formed within a multi-light tube.
3. The multi-light extension system of claim 1, wherein the handle comprises: a ring formed coaxially around the second light; and a low-friction sliding surface formed between the ring and an outer wall of the second light; wherein the permeability instrument comprises a surface that engages with the plurality of ball bearings to cause the permeability instrument to move within the second light as the ring moves.
4. The multi-light extension system of claim 3, wherein the second light comprises a gas valve that allows gases to escape from the second light when the permeability instrument is moved.
5. The multi-light extension system of claim 1, further comprising a Luer-lock access device (DALL) operatively coupled to a proximal end of the first light.
6. The multi-light extension system of claim 1, wherein the permeability instrument comprises a magnetic core formed at a proximal end of the permeability instrument.
7. The multi-light extension system of claim 6, wherein the handle comprises a coaxially formed permanent magnetic ring MA / a / ZUZZ / UUOOl l around the second light and magnetically coupled to the magnetic core to cause the permeability instrument to move within the second light by moving the permanent magnetic ring.
8. The multi-light extension system of claim 1, wherein the handle is mechanically coupled to a proximal end of the permeability instrument by means of a channel formed through a multi-light tube formed coaxially around the first light and the second light.
9. The multi-light extension system of claim 8, wherein the handle comprises a channel through which the first light passes.
10. The multi-light extension system of claim 1, wherein a distal end of the second light is oriented non-parallel to a principal axis of the first light.
11. The multi-light extension system of claim 1, wherein the permeability instrument is a guide wire formed coaxially within the second light.
12. A method for manufacturing a multi-lumen extension system, comprising: forming a fluidic lumen from a male vascular access device (VAD) coupler at a distal end of a first lumen to a female Luer-lock access device (LAD); forming a non-fluidic lumen from the male VAD coupler to a female Luer-lock access device (LAD); forming a patency check device coaxially within the non-fluidic lumen; and forming a handle along the non-fluidic lumen and operatively coupling the handle to the patency check device to selectively advance the patency check device along the non-fluidic lumen.
13. The method of claim 12, which forms a tube coaxially around the fluidic light and the non-fluidic light.
14. The method of claim 12, wherein forming the handle further comprises: forming a ring coaxially around the non-fluidic lumen; and forming a plurality of ball bearings between the ring and an outer wall of the non-fluidic lumen.
15. The method of claim 14, further comprising forming a core in the permeability checking device that engages with the plurality of ball bearings to allow the permeability checking device to move within a second light when moving the ring.
16. The method of claim 12, wherein: forming the handle further comprises: forming a permanent magnetic ring coaxially around the non-fluidic light; and forming a magnetic core at a proximal end of the permeability checking device.
17. A vascular access device (VAD), comprising: an intravenous (IV) catheter insertable into a patient's blood vessel; a multi-lumen extension system, comprising: a first lumen forming a first channel within the multi-lumen extension system; a second lumen forming a second channel within the multi-lumen extension system; a patency instrument housed within the second lumen; a handle formed along the second lumen and operatively coupled to the patency instrument housed within the second lumen for selectively advancing the patency instrument along the second lumen; and a Luer-lock access device (LUAD) operatively coupled to a proximal end of the first lumen.
18. The vascular access device (VAD) of claim 17, wherein the handle comprises: a ring formed coaxially around the second lumen; and a plurality of ball bearings formed between the ring and an outer wall of the second lumen; wherein the permeability instrument comprises a surface that engages with the plurality of ball bearings to cause the permeability instrument to move within the second lumen when the ring moves.
19. The vascular access device (VAD) of claim 17, wherein the handle comprises a coaxially formed permanent magnetic ring MA / a / ZUZZ / UUOOl l around the second lumen and magnetically coupled to a magnetic core to cause the permeability instrument to move within the second lumen by moving the permanent magnetic ring.
20. The vascular access device (VAD) of claim 17, wherein the permeability instrument is a guide wire formed coaxially within the second lumen.
