SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING FLUIDS TO A BALLOON CATHETER
First Claim
1. A fluid delivery system, comprising:
- a reusable fluid path for delivering fluid to multiple patients, the reusable fluid path comprising;
a first portion in fluid communication with a first source of fluid medium; and
a second portion in fluid communication with a second source of fluid medium;
a first pressurizing device associated with the first portion of the reusable fluid path;
a second pressurizing device associated with the second portion of the reusable fluid path;
a per-patient disposable fluid path adapted to be connected to the reusable fluid path and operable to deliver the first and second fluid media at least to a balloon catheter in a patient; and
a control unit in communication with the first and second pressurizing devices and adapted to actuate the first and second pressurizing devices to deliver the first and second fluid media to a balloon on the balloon catheter.

Abstract
A fluid delivery system includes a first pressurizing device, a second pressurizing device, a reusable fluid path for delivering fluid to multiple patients and a per-patient disposable fluid path adapted to be connected to the reusable fluid path and operable to deliver fluid media to a balloon catheter in a patient. The reusable fluid path includes a first portion in fluid communication with a first source of fluid medium and a second portion in fluid communication with a second source of fluid medium. The first pressurizing device is associated with the first portion of the reusable fluid path and the second pressurizing device is associated with the second portion of the reusable fluid path. A control unit in communication with the first and second pressurizing devices is adapted to actuate the first and second pressurizing devices to deliver one or both of the fluid media to a balloon on the balloon catheter.

14. A method of delivering fluid media to a balloon catheter in a patient using a fluid delivery system comprising a reusable fluid path comprising a first portion in fluid communication with a first source of fluid medium and a second portion in fluid communication with a second source of fluid medium, a first pressurizing device associated with the first portion of the reusable fluid path, and a second pressurizing device associated with the second portion of the reusable fluid path, the method comprising:
-
providing a per-patient disposable fluid path adapted to be connected to the reusable fluid path and operable to deliver one or both of the first and second fluid media at least to a balloon catheter in a patient connecting the per-patient disposable fluid path to the reusable fluid path; and
actuating one or both of the first and second pressurizing devices to deliver one or both of the first and second fluid media via the reusable and per-patient disposable fluid paths at least to a balloon on the balloon catheter. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
