SYRINGE PUMP WITH FLANGE CLAMP SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024571 titled 'SYRINGE PUMP WITH FLANGE CLAMP SENSOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a syringe pump that includes a syringe pump body, a flange clamp, and a sensing switch. The syringe pump body has a syringe body recess and a syringe plunger recess, which are designed to receive a syringe. The flange clamp is coupled to the syringe pump body and is spaced apart from the mating surface to receive a syringe flange. The sensing switch extends through the mating surface and is in a closed state when the flange clamp is in contact with it, and in an open state when the flange clamp is spaced apart from it.

  • The syringe pump body has recesses to hold the syringe and plunger, allowing for the cooperative insertion of a syringe.
  • The flange clamp is attached to the syringe pump body and is designed to hold the syringe flange in place.
  • The sensing switch is located on the mating surface and detects the position of the flange clamp, being closed when in contact and open when spaced apart.

Potential Applications

  • Medical and healthcare settings where precise and controlled delivery of fluids is required, such as in drug administration or laboratory experiments.
  • Industrial applications where accurate dispensing of liquids is necessary, such as in manufacturing processes or chemical analysis.

Problems Solved

  • Ensures secure and proper placement of the syringe within the syringe pump body.
  • Provides a mechanism to detect the presence or absence of the syringe flange, ensuring the syringe is properly positioned.

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy and precision in fluid delivery due to the secure placement of the syringe.
  • Enhanced safety by detecting any misalignment or dislodgement of the syringe flange.
  • Simplified operation and reduced risk of errors in syringe pump usage.


Original Abstract Submitted

syringe pumps are described herein. a syringe pump is disclosed comprising a syringe pump body, a flange clamp and a sensing switch. the syringe pump body defining a syringe body recess and a syringe plunger recess, wherein the syringe body recess and the syringe plunger recess are configured to cooperatively receive a syringe. the flange clamp is coupled to a mating surface of the syringe pump body disposed between the syringe body recess and the syringe plunger recess, wherein the flange clamp is configured to be spaced apart from the mating surface to receive a syringe flange of the syringe. the sensing switch extends through the mating surface, wherein the sensing switch is configured to be in a closed state when the flange clamp is in contact with the sensing switch and in an open state when the flange clamp is spaced apart from the sensing switch.
