Valve components positioned in fluid connector assemblies, including universal fluid connector assemblies, are shown. A valve component is designed to open or close based on fluid pressure from a medical fluid applied to the valve component. Normally, when no force is acting on the valve component, the valve component is in an open position and portions of the valve components are spaced apart by a threshold force, thus forming a valve chamber. However, in an exemplary embodiment, when an applied force by the medical fluid is at least at the threshold force, the portions of the valve component contact each other and the valve component transitions to a closed position, thereby preventing the medical fluid from passing through the valve component, and accordingly, preventing the medical fluid from passing through the fluid connector assembly.

PIVC-INTEGRATED HEMOLYSIS-REDUCTION ACCESSORIES FOR DIRECT BLOOD DRAW ON MULTIPLE NEEDLE GAUGES
A fluid connector device for a blood collection system is disclosed. In order to be safely used with different gauges, the fluid connector device can regulate blood flow therethrough based upon the catheter gauge.

PIVC-INTEGRATED HEMOLYSIS-REDUCTION ACCESSORIES FOR DIRECT BLOOD DRAW
Fluid flow devices including a fluid passage for regulating movement of a fluid therethrough, including flow restriction devices having first and second passages that can regulate a fluid flow in a first direction through the device and can regulate a fluid flow in a second direction through the device, and fluid flow restriction devices that can include a first connector having an internal surface defining an inner lumen, a second connector coupled to an end of the first connector, a cannula mounted in the inner lumen extending into the second connector, a lumen of the cannula may define a first flowpath along which a fluid flows into a fluid collection device, and an annulus may be defined between an outer surface of the cannula and the internal surface of the first connector, the annulus may define a second flowpath along which a fluid flows into a catheter assembly.
A pressure detection system includes a body having an internal chamber with input and output ports and a flexible membrane fluidically sealed to an exposed opening of the chamber to prevent a fluid passing through the chamber from passing through the exposed opening. The membrane is configured to change shape responsive to an increase in pressure caused by the fluid within the chamber satisfying a predetermined threshold. In some implementations, the membrane includes or is part of an identification mechanism which moves outwards, away from the chamber, as the pressure increases to indicate the pressure increase. In some implementations, the identification mechanism includes markings on the surface of the membrane, and an image sensing device reads the markings, and provides an indication of a current pressure associated with the fluid in the chamber based on a variation in the markings from a default state.

MACHINE LEARNING BASED CLINICAL RESOURCE CONTROLLER
A method may include receiving, from one or more data systems, a message. A machine learning model may be applied to the message to determine whether the message is an actionable message or a non-actionable message. In response to the message being the actionable message, the machine learning model may be applied to extract, from the message, a clinically significant data. One or more tasks may be performed based on the clinically significant data. The one or more tasks may include performing, based on the clinically significant data, a resource allocation for a clinical workflow associated with the data systems. The one or more tasks may also include detecting systematic inefficiencies and bottlenecks associated with the clinical workflow. Related methods and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also disclosed.

A method that includes receiving, in a medication delivery module, a command to start a medication delivery from a first control module coupled to the medication delivery module, is provided. The command to start the medication delivery is based on clinical information received at the first control module. The method includes recording, in a memory of the medication delivery module, an update of the medication delivery, receiving an indication that the medication delivery module was decoupled from the first control module, and receiving an indication that the medication delivery module has become coupled with a second control module. The method also includes communicating, in response, with the second control module, to update the clinical information. A system and a non-transitory, computer readable medium storing instructions to perform the above method are also provided.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING A FLUID FROM A CONTAINER TO AN INFUSION LINE
A fluid container is encompassed by a custom fluid container pressure sleeve, which is configured to wrap around, connect and form to the malleable fluid container such that, when the fluid container pressure sleeve is inflated with a gas, the fluid container pressure sleeve applies an inward directional pressure to the malleable fluid container from an exterior of the malleable fluid container to compress the malleable fluid container. A pump connected to the fluid container pressure sleeve is activated to provide the gas to the fluid container pressure sleeve to compress the malleable fluid container and direct a fluid (e.g., the blood product) within the malleable fluid container toward and through a connected infusion tubing.

A system for associating a patient with a device may include a memory and a processor. The memory may be configured to store a plurality of orders and a set of parameters, wherein each of the plurality of orders comprises order attributes and each of the plurality of orders identifies one of a plurality of patients. The processor may be configured to receive the plurality of orders from an order entry system, receive the set of parameters from a device, correlate the set of parameters with an order of the plurality of orders based on the order attributes of the plurality of orders, associate the device with the patient identified by the order that correlates with the set of parameters, and provide, to the device, an indication of the patient associated with the device.
