Abstract
An injection site platform for use in adding a needle-injected medication to a parenteral fluid being provided to a patient includes a base which has an outlet port of a size and shape to receive a needle-piercible resealable diaphragm. The platform consists of the base member and a port member and when these two elements are assembled together they apply a compressive holding force on the needle-piercible resealable diaphragm. The platform includes one or more sockets which are of a size and shape to hold a hypodermic needle sheath. The sockets each include a plurality of arms which are flexible so that the socket may hold difference size and shape needle sheaths.
Claims14
An injection site platform for use in adding a needle-injected medication to a parenteral fluid being provided to a patient, said platform including a base, an opening in said base outlet port means of a size and shape to receive a needle-piercible resealable diaphragm, said outlet port means having means for compressively holding injection port caps having resealable diaphragms, a conical wall with the smaller portion thereof adjoining said outlet port means and the larger diameter portion thereof being connected to and terminating at said base aligning said opening with said outlet port means, a portion of said platform providing a surface against which a tube carrying parenteral fluid may be manually constricted to limit the flow therethrough, at least one socket in said base of a size and shape to receive the sheath covering a hypodermic needle, whereby a syringe and needle covered by the sheath may be placed in the socket, the socket gripping the sheath to permit removal of the syringe and needle for use in adding a needle-injected medication to the parenteral fluid, the improvement comprising a plurality of inwardly-directed flexible members positioned in each socket for releasably gripping a needle sheath.
An injection site platform for use in adding a needle-injected medication to a parenteral fluid being provided to a patient, said platform including a base, an opening in said base, an outlet port member secured to said base in alignment with said opening and having an outlet port of a size and shape to receive a needle-piercible resealable diaphragm, said port member being releasably secured to said base, said base having a cam surface, attaching said port member to said base causing said cam surface to apply an inwardly-directed force to said port to reduce the interior diameter thereof to apply a compressive force to the resealable diaphragm positioned therein.
