Abstract

The invention relates to kits of supplies and components for the computer assisted IV drug infusion administration device where those supplies and components may be disposable or re-usable. In one embodiment of the present invention single-patient use disposable components are utilized with a computer assisted IV drug infusion administration device to prevent potential cross-contamination and drug carry-over from a previous infusion to a different patient.

Claims

1. A kit of components for use with an IV drug infusion administration device comprising:

a cassette comprising a rigid housing and pressure plate that interacts with a pumping mechanisms of said drug infusion administration device;

a drug vial;

a double lumen spike for spiking said drug vial, comprising a first bore leading to a drug flow lumen and second bore leading an air flow lumen;

a drug delivery conduit comprising a first end and a second end, said first end to be connected to said drug flow lumen;

an IV solution container;

intravenous solution tubing comprising a first end and a second end, said first end to be connected to said IV solution container;

an IV catheter that is inserted in a vein of a patient;

a connector to join the flow of said drug delivery conduit and said intravenous solution tubing with said IV catheter, said connector to be connected to said second end of said drug delivery conduit and to said second end of said intravenous solution tubing;

an anti-reflux valve to prevent the retrograde flow of drug from said drug delivery conduit through said connector into said intravenous solution tubing;

a check valve to prevent the back flow of intravenous fluid from said intravenous solution tubing through said connector into said drug delivery conduit; and

packaging to securely hold said cassette, drug vial, spike, conduit, IV solution container, tubing, catheter, connector, anti-reflux valve, and check valve.

2. The kit of claim 1, further comprising:

an air filter to prevent particulates and contaminants in the atmospheric air from entering said air flow lumen; and

a free flow prevention device to halt the unchecked or free flow of drug through said intravenous infusion line.

3. The kit of claim 2, wherein said free flow prevention device is at least one of a spring loaded clamp, a snap lock, and a pinch valve.

4. The kit of claim 2, further comprising:

a respiratory set; and

an oro-nasal device that functions as a patient interface.

5. The kit of claim 1 further comprising supplies for use with a procedure that is performed as accompanied by drug delivery from said IV drug infusion administration device.

6. The kit of claim 5 wherein said procedure is sedation or analgesia.

7. The kit of claim 1 wherein said components are disposable.

8. The kit of claim 1 wherein said components are re-usable.

9. The kit of claim 1 wherein said components are a combination of disposable and re-usable.

10. The kit of claim 1 wherein said packaging contains recesses to securely accommodate individual said components.

11. The kit of claim 10 wherein said packaging is sufficiently translucent to allow visual identification of said components through said packaging.

12. The kit of claim 10 wherein said packaging includes means for opening and removal of said components with a single hand.

13. The kit of claim 12 wherein said recesses in said packaging are oriented to optimize access to said components using a person'"'"'s right hand.

14. The kit of claim 12 wherein said recesses in said packaging are oriented to optimize access to said components using a person'"'"'s left hand.

15. The kit of claim 12 wherein said packaging contains anchoring means to allow said kit to be temporarily affixed to a work surface such that said kit is immobile and said components can be removed without moving said packaging.

16. The kit of claim 1 wherein said packaging contains identification and use status indicia.

17. The kit of claim 16 wherein individual said components include identification indicia of quality assurance, identification, or safety.
