Abstract: A disinfection cap or device for disinfecting medical connectors. The cap includes a visual indicator that changes color after sufficient scrubbing effort and time have been expended by a clinician to disinfect the medical device, giving positive visual feedback to the treating clinician. An external housing of the cap includes a disinfection medium, such as a disinfectant sponge that is coupled to a rotating collar. The housing is oriented so that the sponge contacts the medical device to be cleaned. Collar rotation in turn rotates the disinfectant sponge against the VAD, providing scrubbing action. A visualization chamber within the cap contains two isolated fluids of distinct colors. As the collar is rotated it mixes the two isolated fluids, changing color of the resultant mixture. When the visualization chamber shows the new, mixed third color, the medical device is disinfected.

Abstract: Insulin injection syringes are disclosed that include two types of components, namely, durable components that that do not contact the fluid path and can be reused, and disposable or single-use components that contact the fluid path and are not reused. The durable components do not contact the fluid path so that sterility is not affected. Two different syringe components include a reusable outer sleeve containing scale markings for the syringe and a reusable syringe plunger are provided as durable components in embodiments of the present invention. Syringes manufactured according to the present invention can employ one or both of these durable components. Methods for making, using and packaging such syringes are also disclosed.

Abstract: A disinfection device for disinfecting a female medical connector. The device includes an inner housing having an absorbent material that includes a disinfectant or antimicrobial agent that receives the connector. The device also includes an outer housing having an outer wall that receives the inner housing wherein the inner housing is rotatable within the outer housing. An indicator is located between the outer wall and a transparent collar that includes at least one rib. The indicator includes a first visual indicator and a second visual indicator concealed by the first visual indicator. The inner housing includes a boss element that extends through the outer wall and indicator and is attached to the collar. Rotation of the collar causes rotation of the absorbent material and causes the rib to remove sufficient portions of the indicator to expose the second visual indicator to provide visual indication that the connector is disinfected.

Abstract: Low cost insulin injection syringes (20) are disclosed in which the low cost is achieved by separating the syringe into two types of components, namely, durable components that do not contact the fluid path and can be reused, and disposable or single-use components that contact the fluid path and are not reused. The ability to reuse the durable components reduces the effective per-unit cost of the syringe when multiple syringes are used. Since these components do not contact the fluid path, sterility is not affected. The disposal burden is also reduced because not all of the syringe components need to be disposed of each time a syringe is used. Two different syringe components—a reusable outer sleeve (24) containing scale markings (44) for the syringe, and a reusable syringe plunger (32)—are provided as durable components in embodiments of the present invention. Syringes (20) manufactured according to the present invention can employ one or both of these durable components. Methods for making, using and packaging such syringes are also disclosed.
