Definitions

  • the present invention relates to equipment for receiving, storing and dispensing fluids such as whole blood, plasma, glucose solutions and the like which are administered parenterally. More particularly it relates to an improved flexible parenteral fluid container having pilot or sample tube holders integral therewith.
  • FIGURE 1 is an elevational view showing the flexible parenteral container equipped with the integral pilot tube holders.
  • FIGURE 2 is an elevational view showing the flexible parenteral container of FIGURE 1 with the pilot tube in place.
  • FIGURE 3 is an elevational view of the flexible parenteral container of FIGURE 1 with the pilot tubing of U.S.P. 2,896,619 in place.
  • the collapsible and extensible flexible Fatented Mar. 5, 1933 parenteral container 10 comprises a bag of flexible chemically inert, plastic material such as plasticized polyvinyl chloride.
  • the bag is preferably formed by heat sealing two sheets of plastic mateiial along the lateral edges, 11, 11', the top edge 12 and bottom edge 13 in which is located supporting means 14.
  • Located along the upper or top edge of the container 10 are intake or outlet ports 15, 15 and an attached tube and needle set 16.
  • Disposed along the lateral edges 11, 11' are the pilot tube holding apertures 17 and 17'.
  • the pilot tube holding apertures 17 and 17' are laterally located longitudinally extending slit-like apertures which are preferably formed during the container-forming heat sealing openation.
  • the apertures 17 and 17 are preferably so spaced and of such size as to receive and grip a sample tube 13 (as seen in FIGURE 2) adjacent its opposite ends.
  • the exact distance between and size of the apertures is of course controlled by type of pilot tube desired to be employed. For example, when planned for use with the conventional 7 ml. pilot tube shown in FIGURE 2, the apertures are approximately 1 inch long and their adjacent ends 1 /2 inches apart. This particular arrangement is also well suited to orderly retaining the loops of pilot tubing 19 as shown in FIGURE 3.
  • novel pilot tube holder was comprised of a laterally extending apertured seam of the container, it will be readily apparcut that alternative embodiments such as a laterally extending apertured external rib attached to plastic parenteral fluid container may be used if desired.
  • apertures may be simply cut into the external rib, or sections of rib so weakened or otherwise adapted so that the pilot tube itself may be used to form the apertures.
  • the weight of the fluid within the container both forces the container wall against the pilot tube and attempts to straighten the distorted rib or seam thereby locking the pilot tube in place so securely that it is not dislodged upon deliberate inversion of the combination for long periods of time.
  • pilot tube holder An additional advantage of this pilot tube holder is that of being unobtrusive until time of use and then readily accessible for pilot tube insertion.
  • a collapsible, extensible, flexible blood container of the type generally accompanied by a blood sample tube comprising a bag of flexible, chemically inert plastic material, said bag provided with an uninterrupted bottom wall, uninterrupted side walls and. a top wall provided with a blood inlet and a blood outlet, said bag being further provided with integral blood sample tube holder means, said means comprising a later-ally located external member integral with and extending longitudinally along a side wall of said bag, said member being provided with a pair of laterally located longitudinally extending slit-like blood sample tube receiving and gripping apertures, said apertures being sized to receive and grip a conventional blood sample tube and so spaced apart as to grip the tube adjacent its opposite ends, thereby binding said sample tube to said flexible bag and thus preventing the inadvertent separation of said bag and said sample tube.
  • a collapsible, extensible, flexible blood container comprising a bag of flexible, chemically inert plasitc material and provided with a blood intake and a blood outlet, with a. blood sample test tube; the improved flexible blood container provided with an integral blood sample test tube holder, said test tube holder comprising a later-ally located external member, said external member being integral with and extending longitudinally along a wall of said bag, and provided with a pair of slit-like apertures spaced apart longitudinally along said external member and adapted to receive and grip a blood sample .test tube, and a blood sample test tube gripped adjacent its opposite ends in said apertures, thereby firmly binding said test tube to said flexible container.
  • a collapsible, flexible blood container comprising a bag of flexible,'plastic material .formed by heat sealing to provide a bottom seam, side seams and a top provided with a blood inlet and a blood outlet, with a blood test tube;
  • the improved flexible blood container which is provided with an integral 'test tube holder, said test :tube holder comprising a laterally lo cated external member, said member being integral with and extending longitudinally along said bag and provided with a pair of slit-like apertures adapted for the receiving and gripping of said blood sample test tube, said apertures being spaced apart longitudinally along said external member, and a blood sample test tube gripped immediately adjacent its opposite ends in said apertures, thereby firmly locking said test tube to said bag.
