SYSTEM FOR REGULATING PRESSURE IN AN INTRAVENOUS FLUID SUPPLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18460007 titled 'SYSTEM FOR REGULATING PRESSURE IN AN INTRAVENOUS FLUID SUPPLY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for regulating the pressure of an intravenous fluid supply, which includes a pressure bag, pump, pressure sensor, and controller.
- The system includes an intravenous fluid supply tube connected to a patient, supplying fluid from a supply bag.
- A pressure bag is positioned adjacent to the supply bag and can apply pressure to it by pumping fluid into the pressure bag.
- A pressure sensor is placed in the supply tube to measure the pressure of the fluid.
- A controller is connected to the pressure sensor and pump to regulate the pump output based on pressure measurements.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in hospitals, clinics, and other medical settings where intravenous fluid delivery is required.
Problems Solved
This system helps regulate the pressure of intravenous fluid, ensuring a consistent flow rate and preventing potential complications from incorrect pressure levels.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy and control of intravenous fluid delivery - Enhanced patient safety and comfort - Potential for reduced risk of complications related to fluid pressure
Potential Commercial Applications
"Medical Device: Intravenous Fluid Pressure Regulation System"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing systems for regulating intravenous fluid pressure, but this specific combination of components and control mechanisms may be novel.
What are the potential safety implications of using this system in a medical setting?
Using this system can help prevent complications such as fluid overload or inadequate fluid delivery, improving patient safety and treatment outcomes.
How does this system compare to traditional methods of regulating intravenous fluid pressure?
This system offers more precise control and monitoring of pressure levels, potentially leading to more effective and efficient intravenous fluid delivery compared to traditional methods.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for regulating the pressure of an intravenous fluid supply is provided. An example intravenous fluid supply system may include an intravenous fluid supply tube supplying intravenous fluid to a patient from an intravenous fluid supply bag. A pressure may be applied to the intravenous fluid supply bag by a pressure bag adjacent to the intravenous fluid supply bag. A pump may be fluidly connected to the pressure bag, such that a fluid may be pumped into the pressure bag, applying pressure to the intravenous fluid supply bag. The system may further include a pressure sensor positioned to measure a pressure within the intravenous fluid supply tube. The intravenous fluid supply may include a controller communicatively connected to the pressure sensor and the pump, wherein the controller regulates an output of the pump based at least in part on one or more measurements of the pressure sensor.
