Fluid delivery service

Abstract

A fluid delivery device and system is operable to fluidly couple a pair of fluid delivery conduits. One embodiment includes a fluid delivery device sized to meet ANSI/AAMI ID54:1996(R) 2005 and not mate with ANSI/HIMA MD70.1 or ISO 594/1 and ISO 594/2 standards for intravenous ports and connectors to prevent accidental intravenous delivery of fluids intended for enteral delivery.

1 . A fluid delivery system, comprising:
 a syringe for intravenous delivery of medication; and   a fluid delivery device further including a female connector end sized to receive and mate with a male end of the syringe and a male connector end extending outwardly from the female connector end, the male connector end sized to meet standards for enteral feeding including ANSI/AAMI ID54:1996(R) 2005 and not mate with standards for I.V. delivery including ANSI/HIMA MD70.1, ISO 594/1 and ISO 594/2 standards for intravenous ports and connectors.   
   
   
       2 . The fluid delivery system of  claim 1  wherein the fluid delivery device is permanently attached to the syringe with a locking mechanism, an adhesive material, a bonding agent, or an application technique. 
   
   
       3 . The fluid delivery system of  claim 2  wherein the application technique comprises one of spin welding, pressure mounting or overmolding and applying.
 A syringe, comprising:   a chamber for temporarily holding a fluid for delivery enterally to a patient;   a male connector end fluidly connected to the chamber for delivering the fluid to a tube; and   wherein the male connector end is sized to meet ANSI/AAMI ID54:1996(R) 2005 and not mate with ANSI/HIMA MD70.1 or ISO 594/1 and ISO 594/2 standards for intravenous ports and connectors.   
   
   
       4 . A syringe, comprising:
 a chamber for temporarily holding a fluid for delivery enterally to a patient:   a male connector end fluidly connected to the chamber for delivering the fluid to a tube; and   wherein the male connector end is sized to meet ANSI/AAMI ID54:1996(R) 2005 and not mate with ANSI/HIMA MD70.1 or ISO 594/1 and ISO 594/2 standards for intravenous ports and connectors.   
   
   
       5 . A fluid delivery system, comprising:
 a syringe further comprising a chamber for temporarily holding a fluid for enteral delivery to a patient and an output port; and   a fluid delivery device permanently attached to the output port and fluidly connected to the chamber for delivering the fluid to an enteral feed tube wherein the fluid delivery device further includes a first port sized to mate with ANSI/HIMA MD70. 1 or ISO 594/1 and ISO 594/2 standards for intravenous ports and connectors and a second port sized to meet connectors for enteral fluid delivery and to not mate with ports and connectors for intravenous fluid delivery.   
   
   
       6 . The fluid delivery system of  claim 5  further including a port sized to meet enteral feeding system standards including ANSI/AAMI ID54:1996(R) 2005 coupled to the enteral feeding tube wherein the port is operable to receive and engage with the male end of the fluid delivery device.
