20100211023 | Portable drip structure - A portable drip structure comprises an inflating structure and a main bag. The inflating structure includes a motor and an air container and the motor and the air container are communicative with each other via a pipe provided there between, so that the air container can be inflated by the inflating structure. The main bag is provided with a first and a second compartment that neighbor with each other and each compartment is provided on the main bag with an opening that can be enclosed. The first compartment is for disposing a drip bag while the second compartment is for disposing the inflating structure. Consequently, when the two openings are enclosed and the air container is inflated via the motor, the air container will be expanded to press the drip bag in the first compartment to drip the infusion liquid in the drip bag outward. | 08-19-2010 |
20110125103 | DRIP CHAMBER WITH FLOW CONTROL - A flow control system includes a drip chamber having lower and upper wall sections and a collapsible wall extending between the lower and upper wall sections, a downwardly depending valve seat attached to the lower wall section, and a valve member disposed in the drip chamber, attached to the upper wall section and having a valve surface engageable with the valve seat. The system also includes a driver rotatably engaged to the lower and upper wall sections. Upon rotation of the driver in a first direction, the collapsible wall of the drip chamber moves between a collapsed condition in which the valve seat is sealingly engaged with the valve surface and an extended condition in which the valve seat is sufficiently spaced from the valve surface to form a flow passageway between the valve surface and the valve seat and permit flow through the opening of the drip chamber. | 05-26-2011 |

20110015583 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING AN IV ADMINISTRATION SET INCORPORATING DRIP MONITORING CIRCUITRY - A circuitry for counting drips and monitoring a rate of infusion is incorporated into an IV administration set. The circuitry includes a pair of leads that are positioned in the pathway of fluid droplets, such that each droplet simultaneously contacts both leads. As such, the leads act as a virtual switch that is closed by the presence of a droplet. This event is then displayed on a drip signaling device to aid a user in adjusting the infusion rate of the IV administration set. | 01-20-2011 |
20110144595 | INTRAVENOUS DRIP MONITORING METHOD AND RELATED INTRAVENOUS DRIP MONITORING SYSTEM - The present invention provides an intravenous drip monitoring method and related intravenous drip monitoring system. The intravenous drip monitoring method comprises: providing a background color as a background of a flow regulating device of an intravenous drip; obtaining a plurality of frames in the flow regulating device of the intravenous drip in accordance of a frame rate; performing an image processing operation on the plurality of frames to obtain brightness variations generated by motion drips in the flow regulating device; utilizing the brightness variations generated by the motion drips in the flow regulating device to detect a dropping frequency of the intravenous drip in a first detecting area of the flow regulating device; and utilizing the brightness variations generated by the motion drips in the flow regulating device to detect a liquid horizontal height of the flow regulating device in a second detecting area of the flow regulating device. | 06-16-2011 |
20110178476 | DRIP DETECTOR WITH MULTIPLE SYMMETRIC SENSORS AND SIGNAL TRANSMISSION BY ZIGBEE NETWORK - A drip detector for a tube with multiple symmetric sensors and signal transmission utilizes a ZigBee network and includes a monitoring display host, a drip detector, a stopper and a base. The detector generates signals and alarms through the ZigBee network when it detects changes in drip speed or drip quantity. | 07-21-2011 |

20150374909 | PASSIVE START DRIP CHAMBER - A drip chamber is described that is used in medical infusion therapy, wherein the drip chamber utilizes valving to control flow of one or more fluids to a patient. The drip chamber includes a body forming a chamber, wherein fluid may enter via two or more flow ports, and an output port, where fluid may exit the chamber. A float controls fluid flow through one or more flow ports into the chamber such that the flow exiting the chamber may be limited to a single fluid or a combination of the fluids entering the chamber. The float is configured to be retained within the chamber, and the float moves within the chamber based on a level of fluid within the chamber. The control characteristics of the float are determinable by attributing specific buoyancy and dimensions to the float. | 12-31-2015 |
