AUTOMATED MEDICAL LIQUID FILLING SYSTEM

摘要

A medical liquid filling system and associated methods are provided, the system comprising a disposable (10) and a drive system. The disposable includes a tubular member (12) and a piston (14) slidably disposed within the tubular member for retraction and advancement within at least a first portion of the tubular member(12). The disposable (10) may include a seal member (16) for sealing the first portion of the tubular member and may be interconnected to the piston (14) for co-movement therewith. The drive system may include a piston drive member (32) selectively interconnectable to the piston (14) for driven advancement and retraction of the piston within the tubular member. The drive system (32) may be interconnected to a controller(50) , which may be operable to automate or semi-automate various filling operations.; A user interface (70) may be interconnected to the controller (50) for providing input of various system operation parameters, which may be communicated to the controller to facilitate automated or semi-automated operation of the filling system.
