Abstract:
A pressure diaphragm, wherein at least a portion of an elongate fluid channel is formed diametrically across, and is open through, a flat raised surface of a substantially rigid, disk-like body, and wherein a flexible membrane overlies the raised surface and is sealed to a surrounding flange. The fluid channel communicates with fluid inlet and outlet fittings carried by the body, which are adapted for connection with the tubes of an IV set, and the cross-sectional flow area of the fluid channel is substantially equal to or less than the cross-sectional flow area of any IV tube adapted for connection to the fluid inlet fitting.
Maintaining The Dimensional Integrity Of Thermoplastic Tubing Ends For Receiving A Luer
An end of thermoplastic tubing which is exposed to a temperature capable of causing dimensional distortion of the tubing end may be maintained by enclosing the tubing end with a tubular end cap. The end cap defines an inner member projecting axially into the bore of the tubing end, with the inner member defining an outer diameter of essentially the diameter of the bore of the tubing end, so that the dimensional integrity of the tubing end is maintained during the heating step to thereafter sealingly receive a luer.
