Definitions
- the present invention relates to the manipulation of devices through which fluids are delivered to and/or withdrawn from an animal through venipuncture. More particularly, this invention is directed to a holder for use with a fluid collection and/or injection system of the type including a double ended needle assembly and associated fluid container and, specifically, to such a holder having an actuation mechanism for selectively mounting or detaching the needle assembly. Accordingly, the general objects of the present invention are to provide novel and improved methods and apparatus of such character.
- the present invention is particularly well suited for use in fluid transfer systems of the type which are used to inject fluids into and to draw blood specimens from a patient.
- Current medical practice requires that the fluid containers and needle assemblies used in such systems be inexpensive and readily disposable. Consequently, existing blood collection systems, for example, typically employ some form of durable, reusable holder on which detachable and disposable needles and fluid collection tubes may be mounted.
- a blood collection system of this nature can be assembled prior to use and then disassembled after usage.
- these blood collection systems allow repeated use of the relatively expensive holder upon replacement of the relatively inexpensive disposable needle and/or fluid collection tube.
- these blood collection systems also help minimize the production of hazardous medical waste.
- the most popular design configuration of previously available blood collection systems includes a double ended needle assembly, an evacuated collection tube, and a holder for maintaining the needle assembly and the collection tube in fixed relation.
- the double ended needle assembly which is also referred to as a cannula, has a bore extending therethrough and a hub near a central region thereof.
- the evacuated fluid collection tube includes a puncturable stopper at one end thereof.
- the holder typically has a housing at one end thereof for receiving the needle assembly.
- the holder also has a hollow body with an opening at an opposite end thereof for receiving the collection tube.
- the needle assembly is rigidly received within the housing of the holder such that a first end of the needle extends forwardly of the holder for puncturing the vein of a patient.
- the opposite, second end of the needle extends into the hollow body of the holder.
- the evacuated collection tube is partially inserted into one end of the holder, the first end of the needle is inserted into a patient's vein and the collection tube is fully inserted into the holder such that blood will be drawn through the bore of the needle assembly and into the fluid collection tube. After drawing the specimen, the collection tube is removed so that the blood contained therein can be analyzed and the needle assembly is detached for disposal.
- the holders of some prior art fluid transfer systems are compatible with fluid containers having a fluid to be injected into a patient. Thus, such holders can be used to inject fluid into, as well as draw blood specimens from, a patient.
- Efforts to improve prior art fluid transfer systems of the type briefly described above have largely focused on improving the mechanism for removably mounting the needle assembly to the holder.
- One early, and extremely popular, type of mechanism for removably mounting a needle assembly to a holder utilized a fixed threaded passageway at one end of the holder designed to threadably receive complementary threads on the hub of the needle assembly. With a holder of this type, a threaded cannula could be screwed into position prior to drawing a blood specimen from a patient, subsequently unscrewed from the holder and discarded.
- Blood collection systems employing a holder with a fixed threaded passageway suffer from a number of serious deficiencies.
- the most serious of these deficiencies stems from the need for the health care worker to physically handle the cannula after it has been in contact with the patient's blood in order to unscrew the threaded cannula from the holder.
- This handling typically entails placing a protective cap on the externally extending portion of the threaded cannula, twisting the threaded cannula to free it from the fixed threaded passageway of the holder, and disposing of the used cannula.
- removal of the needle from a blood collection device of this type inevitably gives rise to the possibility of accidental contact between the health care worker and the patient's blood.
- holders In response to the above-mentioned deficiencies of fixed threaded passageway holders, holders have recently been developed which employ unthreaded needle-locking mechanisms with a remote release element for ejecting the needle assembly from the needle- locking mechanism.
- This type of arrangement has generally been considered to be a functional improvement over fixed threaded passageway holders because, by operating the release element, a health care worker may quickly remove a needle assembly from a holder without the need to physically contact any portion of the needle assembly directly. This reduces the risk that the health care worker will accidentally contact the patient's blood.
- Holders having a needle ejection feature which are compatible with the standard double needle configuration have also been developed.
- these holders have either suffered from overall poor performance and/or have required the use of a separate adapter, for accommodating a standard threaded cannula, which is discarded along with the cannula upon removal of the cannula from the holder.
- a separate adapter for accommodating a standard threaded cannula, which is discarded along with the cannula upon removal of the cannula from the holder.
- the use of such an adapter can also unnecessarily complicate assembly and/or disassembly of the blood collection system.
- the present invention satisfies the above needs, and overcomes the above-stated and other deficiencies of the prior art, by providing a holder having a cannula actuation mechanism within a housing at one end of the holder for removably mounting an externally threaded cannula (i.e. needle assembly) thereto.
- the actuation mechanism includes first and second threaded halves (i.e. mounting jaws) with surfaces which cooperate to define a threaded passageway therebetween when the threaded halves are in a cannu la-mounting position.
- At least one of the threaded halves is mounted within the housing in such a manner as to allow movement thereof from the cannula-mounting position to a retracted position wherein the threaded surfaces define a gap which is appreciably greater than the maximum cross-section of the cannula hub.
- the actuation mechanism also includes an actuator (or actuation means) with at least one structural portion for normally maintaining the threaded halves in the cannula- mounting position.
- the actuator is slidably mounted to the holder and operably associated with the threaded halves such that, upon user- operation of the actuator, at least one of the threaded halves moves to the retracted position.
- a user simply inserts a standard threaded cannula, with its protective cap in place, into the holder and screws the threads of the cannula hub into the threaded passageway defined by the threaded surfaces of the threaded halves until the hub disk of the cannula hub abuts the top surfaces of the threaded halves.
- the user simply orients the holder over a "sharps disposal box" such that the first end of the cannula extends vertically below the holder, and depresses the actuator to retract the threaded halves thereby allowing the cannula to fall from the holder under the force of gravity.
- the cannula holder of the present invention is wholly compatible with standard threaded cannulas. This compatibility is achieved by pivotably mounting at least one of the threaded halves of the actuation mechanism within a housing located at one end of the holder. When these threaded halves are in the cannula-mounting position, a standard threaded cannula can be threaded into the threaded passageway in the same manner as a standard threaded needle assembly would be threaded into a holder having a fixed threaded passageway.
- the present invention is compatible with standard threaded needle assemblies and can be used by health care workers in a manner substantially similar to the prior art needle holders to which they are accustomed.
- Yet another advantage of the invention relative to previously available fluid collection devices is improved reliability and ease of operation.
- a user simply threads a standard cannula into the actuation mechanism at one end of the holder and inserts a fluid container into an opening at the opposite end of the holder.
- the fluid container is removed from the holder, the holder is positioned over a "sharps disposal box", and the actuator is depressed thereby retracting the threaded halves of the holder and allowing the cannula to fall into the "sharps disposal box" under the force of gravity.
- This assembly procedure is identical to the assembly procedure used with conventional prior art holders.
- the disassembly procedure avoids the need to unscrew a cannula, twist a bayonet mechanism or flip a lever as was necessary with various prior art holders.

- Figure 3a is a cross-sectional view of the holder shown in Figures 1 and 2, illustrating the actuation mechanism in a cannula-mounting position;
- Figure 3b is a view similar to Figure 3a, illustrating the actuation mechanism in the retracted position
- Figure 4a is a fragmentary medial sectional view, taken along the longitudinal axis, of the holder of Figures 1 and 2 shown in combination with a cannula, Figure 4a illustrating the actuation mechanism in the cannula-mounting position; and Figure 4b is a fragmentary, medial sectional view, taken along the longitudinal axis, of the holder of Figures 1 and 2 shown in combination with a cannula, Figure 4b illustrating the actuation mechanism in the retracted position.
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a holder 10 in accordance with the present invention in combination with a standard threaded cannula 40 (i.e. needle assembly) and a standard collection tube 50.
- Holder 10 generally consists of a hollow body 14, a housing 11 having an end cap 60 at one end thereof, and an actuation mechanism 20.
- Body 14 of holder 10 defines a longitudinal axis 5.
- Threaded cannula 40 is shown in axial alignment with axis 5 for insertion into actuation mechanism 20.
- Threaded cannula 40 has a first end 42, a second end 43, and a threaded hub, indicated generally at 45, intermediate the ends.
- a longitudinal bore 44 extends along the length of cannula 40.
- Hub 45 of threaded cannula 40 includes a threaded portion 48 which terminates, at one end thereof, at a hub disk 46.
- Collection tube 50 when the system is assembled and in use, will also be in axial alignment with hollow body 14 of holder 10 and will be received therein.
- Collection tube 50 in the disclosed embodiment, is a standard evacuated blood specimen collection tube which consists of an elongated tube 52 having a rubber stopper 54 at one end thereof.
- the rubber stopper 54 has a puncturable membrane 56 in a central region of the stopper 54.
- bore 44 of cannula 40 is in fluid communication with the interior of collection tube 40 and the system can be used to draw a blood specimen from a patient.
- the present invention may be used to inject a fluid into a patient using a fluid container with a piston for injection of a fluid into a patient.
- First and second grip tabs 19 and 19' on holder 10 assist insertion of collection tube 50, or other fluid container, into holder 10.
- actuation mechanism 20 generally consists of a spring biased actuator, indicated generally at 30, a pivot axle 21 and first and second threaded halves (i.e. mounting jaws) 22 and 22', respectively.
- Housing 11 includes a bearing wall 39, the end cap 60, sidewalls 18 and 18' and end walls 15 and 15' (see Figures 3a and 3b). While bearing wall 39 and pivot axle 21 are preferably integrally formed with an end wall 16 of hollow body 14, threaded halves 22 and 22', and actuator 30, are movably mounted to housing 11. Actuation mechanism 20 is captured within housing 11 between end wall 16 and end cap 60.
- threaded halves 22 and 22' preferably include apertured collars 25 and 25' which are pivotably mounted within housing 11 via engagement with pivot axle 21. Alternatively, each of threaded halves 22 and 22' can be pivotably mounted within housing 11 for rotation about separate pivot axles. Threaded halves 22 and 22' also include first and second threaded surfaces 24 and 24', respectively, which generally face one another and which cooperate to define a threaded passageway 23 (see Figure 3a) having a substantially circular cross-section when biased to the position shown in Figures 3a and 4a. First and second threaded halves 22 and 22' further include substantially planar first and second top surfaces 28 and 28', respectively, located substantially perpendicularly to threaded surfaces 24 and 24'.
- First and second torque members 26 and 26' extend from collars 25 and 25', respectively, and define torque arms for driving threaded halves 22 and 22' in respective first directions about pivot axle 21.
- Actuator 30 is generally in the form of a user-operable push-button which is operably associated with first and second threaded halves 22 and 22'.
- Actuator 30 generally consists of an external portion (i.e. external element) 38, first and second driver arms 32 and 32' extending therefrom, resilient fingers 36 and 36', and a stop member 35. Additionally, drive projections 34 and 34', respectively, extend from the free ends of arms 32 and 32' for engagement with respective torque members 26 and 26'.
- substantially planar end cap 60 has an extended portion 64 at one end thereof, a recess 63 at an opposite end thereof, and an aperture 62 therebetween.
- end cap 60 serves to retain most of actuator 30 and first and second threaded halves 22 and 22' within housing 11.
- end cap 60 preferably engages sidewalls 18 and 18' of housing 11 at beveled regions 65 and 67 and a lip on bearing wall 39 at a beveled region 66.
- recess 63 of end cap 60 preferably engages pivot axle 21 in snap-fit fashion to prevent end cap 60 from sliding from holder 10.
- end cap 60 may be secured to holder 10 with many other well known fixation means such as adhesive bonding, affixation with fasteners or any equivalent thereof.
- fixation means such as adhesive bonding, affixation with fasteners or any equivalent thereof.
- Figure 3a shows a cross sectional view of the holder of Figures 1 and 2 illustrating actuation mechanism 20 in the cannula-mounting position.
- actuator 30 is urged radially outward with respect to housing 11 by the cooperation of resilient fingers 36 and 36' and bearing wall 39.
- external portion 38 thereof is substantially aligned with grip tab 19 and extended portion 64 of end cap 60.
- resilient fingers 36 and 36' are bent inwardly and the outer surface of external element 38 becomes generally flush with the outer surface of holder 10.
- torque members 26 and 26' are pinched between end walls 15 and 15' of housing 11 and drive projections 34 and 34' of actuator 30.
- resilient fingers 36 and 36' are pinched between bearing wall 39 and stop member 35 of actuator 30.
- resilient fingers 36 and 36' and bearing wall 39 cooperate to urge actuator 30 to slide back to its initial position along a linear path in a direction opposite to that of arrow 7.
- drive projections 34 and 34' cooperate with threaded halves 22 and 22' to return threaded halves 22 and 22' to the cannula-mounting position.
- a number of operationally equivalent structures can be used to pivot threaded halves 22 and 22' between the cannula-mounting and retracted positions.
- at least one of torque members 26 and 26' can be positioned on top surfaces 28 and 28' of threaded halves 22 and 22', for engagement with at least one camming channel on actuator 30.
- An additional option includes providing threaded engagement between the various components of the actuation mechanism 20 such as between torque members 26 and 26' and actuator 30.
- Figure 4a depicts a cross-sectional view of holder 10 illustrating actuation mechanism 20 in the cannula-mounting position in combination with cannula 40.
- threads 48 of cannula hub 45 engage threaded surfaces 24 and 24' of threaded halves 22 and 22'.
- hub disk 46 of cannula hub 45 abuts top surfaces 28 and 28' to prevent further rotation of cannula 40.
- actuation mechanism 20 is shown therein with threaded halves 22 and 22' in the retracted position and threaded cannula 40 aligned with, but detached from, actuation mechanism 20.
- the substantially thinner driver arms 32 and 32' of actuator 30 are generally aligned with threaded halves 22 and 22' to allow threaded halves 22 and 22' to retract away from one another.
- threaded surfaces 24 and 24' no longer define a threaded passageway.
- threaded surfaces 24 and 24' are now generally aligned with the perimeters of apertures 62 and 17, threaded cannula 40 is detached from actuation mechanism 20.
- actuation mechanism 20 Since threaded surfaces 24 and 24' are now generally aligned with the perimeters of apertures 62 and 17, threaded cannula 40 is detached from actuation mechanism 20.
- cannula 40 is free to fall from holder 10 under the force of gravity and holder 10 can be subsequently reused.
- the various components of holder 10 can be made from a wide variety of materials.
- hollow body 14, housing 11, bearing wall 39 and pivot axle 21 are integrally formed from inexpensive, moldable plastic.
- first and second threaded halves 22 and 22' and end cap 60 are also individually formed of inexpensive plastic.
- the actuator 30, however, is preferably made from an acetal, or equivalents thereof, because of its resilience, its durability and its low coefficient of friction. These properties enable resilient fingers 36 and 36' to provide sufficient biasing force against movement of actuator 30 while still allowing actuator 30 to freely glide against sidewalls 18 and 18' when depressed.
