US 2023/0390486 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING A FLUID FROM A CONTAINER TO AN INFUSION LINE

Abstract

A fluid container is encompassed by a custom fluid container pressure sleeve, which is configured to wrap around, connect and form to the malleable fluid container such that, when the fluid container pressure sleeve is inflated with a gas, the fluid container pressure sleeve applies an inward directional pressure to the malleable fluid container from an exterior of the malleable fluid container to compress the malleable fluid container. A pump connected to the fluid container pressure sleeve is activated to provide the gas to the fluid container pressure sleeve to compress the malleable fluid container and direct a fluid (e.g., the blood product) within the malleable fluid container toward and through a connected infusion tubing

Dependent claims

A infusion system for intravenous delivery of a fluid from a fluid container, comprising:

a malleable fluid container configured to store a fluid and deliver the fluid via a connected infusion tubing;
a fluid container pressure sleeve configured to wrap around, connect and form to the malleable fluid container such that, when the fluid container pressure sleeve is inflated with a gas, the fluid container pressure sleeve applies an inward directional pressure to the malleable fluid container from an exterior of the malleable fluid container;
a pump configured to provide the gas to the fluid container pressure sleeve;
and
a pressure measuring device configured to measure a pressure associated with the malleable fluid container by the fluid container pressure sleeve.
