An inventive method, system and apparatus are provided for syringe handling, and more particularly, for syringe labeling, filling and capping operations. To facilitate syringe handling, an inventive apparatus includes a plurality of syringe bodies interconnected in a predetermined orientation by a belt. Such belt may be of pliable construction and may define a predetermined spacing in between adjacent ones of the syringe bodies, such predetermined spacing corresponding with a distance between holders provided in a handling apparatus. The syringe handling apparatus may provide for the placement of contents-related information on belt segments between adjacent syringe bodies and for separating the belt segments, wherein a flap is left interconnected to each syringe body. The syringe handling apparatus may alternatively or also provide for automated filling of the syringe bodies wherein cap removal, filling and cap replacement operations are completed free from manual handling.

A first fluid connector is provided for selective interconnection to and fluid transfer with a second fluid connector. The first connector comprises a fluid passageway, an internal member and an outer collar supportably disposed about the internal member for selective advancement and retraction relative thereto. At least a portion of the fluid passageway may extend through the internal member. The outer collar may be selectively retracted to facilitate cleaning of the internal member. In some embodiments, the outer collar and internal member may be disposed so that a distal portion of the internal member is substantially flush with or a distal portion of internal member projects beyond a distal end of the outer collar when the outer collar is in a retracted position relative thereto. To facilitate cleaning, a distal end or distal portion of the internal member may be substantially closed when the first and second connectors are disconnected. The second connector may be adapted to facilitate fluid interconnection with the first connector, and may also present a cleanable distal end when disconnected.

An improved apparatus, method and system are provided for medical liquid administration, including in particular liquid medication and/or flush solution infusions. The inventive apparatus includes a barrel, a plunger slidably disposed within the barrel and extending from a distal end thereof, and at least one medical liquid delivery line having a proximal end fixedly positioned relative to the barrel, wherein the medical delivery line is fluidly interconnectable proximal to the plunger and extends along at least a portion of the barrel and in a direction distally away from the distal end thereof. To accommodate the administration of both a liquid medication and flush solution, two coincidentally-positioned medical liquid delivery lines may be included, each of which may extend through the plunger to the valve. The valve may be positionable to accommodate the selective administration of a desired medical liquid through an interconnected catheter interconnection line.

Patient controlled analgesic (PCA) infusion apparatus and method are disclosed, in which a liquid desired to be self-infused into a patient is controllably supplied from a positively pressurized supply reservoir to a lower pressure dose chamber of a patient operable syringe from which the patient may expel the liquid and infuse such into a suitable infusion site, as through a cannula inserted into the patient, the supply of liquid from the reservoir to the dose chamber being controlled by a flow control metering tube assembly, including a connecting tube with a flow-restricting metering rod disposed therein and of a selected effective length such that the combined flow impedance of the flow path formed by the overall flow metering tube and rod provide a selected flow rate for a reference fluid and reference pressure differential. The flow control metering tube assembly may be suitably constructed by empirical testing and sizing of individual flow control tube/rod assemblies to achieve a desired flow impedance. A suction, preferrably forming a vacuum-induced void, is automatically effected in the dose chamber by a return spring acting on a piston forming a rear wall of the dose chamber, after each infusion by the patient, so as to effect a desired selected substantially constant refill flow rate of liquid from the supply reservoir and into the dose chamber.

The present invention provides an inventive apparatus and method for docking of a male luer connector fluidly interconnected or interconnectable to a medical liquid source during one or repeated periods. As such, the invention has particular application to multiple-dose medication therapy procedures. The docking apparatus comprises a holding receptacle having a single access opening and a depressible member disposed in the holding receptacle. The holding receptacle is adapted for retentive engagement with a male luer connector (e. g. via complementary threading), wherein upon docking a nozzle of the male luer connector is isolated within the holding receptacle. An anti-bacterial material may be readily applied to a top surface of the depressible member prior to docking so that the forward edge of the nozzle of the male luer connector contacts the anti-bacterial material when docked. The docking apparatus may be provided with lateral and rearward handling members to facilitate docking procedures. Additionally, slots may be provided for interconnecting the docking apparatus to a tubing line at a patient site.

The present invention may be used to dispense a dose of medication to a patient from a syringe having a barrel adapted for receiving the medication and a plunger adapted for drawing the medication into the barrel and dispensing the medication from the syringe. The medication dose is based on a measurement or value associated with a patient that corresponds to a coded range. The present invention includes a sleeve mounted on the barrel of the syringe. The sleeve contains indicia corresponding to a plurality of the coded ranges. In one embodiment, the indicia include a plurality of colored marks corresponding to a plurality of the coded ranges indicative of different doses of the medication. In another embodiment, the indicia is a color of a tinted, substantially transparent sleeve.
