Abstract
This disclosure relates to drug vial spikes, fluid line sets, and related systems. In some aspects, a fluid line set includes a frame, multiple spikes extending from the frame, and multiple fluid lines connected to the frame. The frame is configured to hold the fluid lines in a spaced apart configuration.
Claims16
A fluid line set, comprising:
- a frame comprising a top member, a manifold, and at least one connecting member that extends between and is attached to the top member and the manifold such that the top member and the manifold are fixed relative to the connecting member, the manifold defining a fluid passage extending therethrough;
- a projection extends from a surface of the frame, wherein the projection is configured to mate with a matching hole in a drug delivery device;
- a plurality of spikes extending from the top member, each of the spikes defining a fluid channel;
- and
- a plurality of fluid lines connected to the top member and the manifold, each of the fluid lines being in fluid communication with the channel of one of the spikes, and each of the fluid lines being in fluid communication with the fluid passage extending through the manifold,
- wherein the frame is configured to hold the fluid lines in a spaced apart configuration and comprises two connecting members that extend between and are attached to the top member and the manifold.
3 more elements
A drug delivery system, comprising:
- a drug delivery device having a surface from which a plurality of pumps extend;
- the drug delivery device comprising a door;
- the door and the surface of the drug delivery device forming a cassette compartment configured to receive a frame and a plurality of fluid lines of a fluid line set therein when the door is closed;
- wherein an inner surface of the door defines a hole configured to receive a projection that extends from a surface of the frame;
- and
- the fluid line set comprising the frame comprising a top member, a manifold, and at least one connecting member that extends between and is attached to the top member and the manifold such that the top member and the manifold are fixed relative to the connecting member, the manifold defining a fluid passage extending therethrough, wherein the frame comprises two connecting members that extend between and are attached to the top member and the manifold;
- a plurality of spikes extending from the top member, each of the spikes defining a fluid channel;
- and
- the plurality of fluid lines are connected to the top member and the manifold, each of the fluid lines being in fluid communication with the channel of one of the spikes, and each of the fluid lines being in fluid communication with the fluid passage extending through the manifold, wherein the frame is configured to hold the fluid lines in a spaced apart configuration, and the fluid line set is configured to be secured to the drug delivery device in a manner such that each of the fluid lines is operably connected to one of the pumps.
