An apparatus comprising:
- a plunger housed in a barrel, wherein the plunger comprises;
- a plunger proximal end connector configured to receive a washing agent;
- a plunger end cap configured to facilitate the washing of a delivery chamber of the barrel;
- an elongated cylinder having an internal chamber defining a fluid pathway between the plunger proximal end connector and the plunger end cap;
- wherein the plunger end cap comprises a plurality of slits in the distal end of the plunger end cap, wherein the slits are spaced apart.
A cannulated dose delivery system comprising:
- a plunger housed in a barrel, wherein the plunger comprises:
- a plunger proximal end connector configured to receive a washing agent;
- a plunger end cap configured to facilitate the washing of a delivery chamber of the barrel;
- an elongated cylinder having an internal chamber defining a fluid pathway between the plunger proximal end connector and the plunger end cap;
- wherein the plunger end cap comprises a plurality of slits in the distal end of the plunger end cap wherein the slits are spaced apart;
- a distal connector configured to connect the plunger housing to a delivery port;
- and;
- a saline flush syringe connected to the plunger proximal end connector.
A method to increase dosage delivery to a patient while maintaining a sterile fluid pathway comprising:
- providing a plunger housed in a barrel, wherein the plunger comprises:
- a plunger proximal end connector configured to receive a washing agent;
- a plunger end cap configured to facilitate the washing of a delivery chamber of the barrel;
- an elongated cylinder having an internal chamber defining a fluid pathway between the plunger proximal end connector and the plunger end cap;
- wherein the plunger end cap comprises a plurality of slits in the distal end of the plunger end cap wherein the slits are spaced apart;
- a distal connector configured to connect a cannulated dose delivery device to a delivery port and a plunger top cap;
- attaching a needle to the distal end attachment port;
- connecting a saline flush syringe to the plunger proximal end connector;
- connecting a delivery port to a patient;
- delivering a dose of the contrast agent or medication to the delivery chamber;
- attaching the cannulated dose delivery device distal connector to a patient delivery port;
- removing the plunger top cap;
- connecting the saline flush syringe to the cannulated dose delivery device via the plunger proximal connector;
- and
- depressing the flush syringe to deliver a washing solution to the dosing chamber to increase dosage delivery to a patient.
