Abstract

A multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier 10 ) for use in a sterile fluid delivery system. The carrier includes a rotary housing ( 12 ) adapted for connection to the sterile fluid delivery system. The rotary housing has one or more bores ( 30 ) configured to receive a solute cartridge. The rotary housing, when connected to the sterile fluid delivery system, is selectively rotatable to facilitate creation of a desired sterile solution when sterile water from the fluid delivery system is flowed through the solute cartridge.

First claim

The following is claimed:

1 . A multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier for use in a sterile fluid delivery system, the carrier comprising:
a rotary housing adapted for connection to the sterile fluid delivery system, the rotary housing including one or more bores configured to receive a solute cartridge; wherein the sterile fluid delivery system is configured to flow water through the solute cartridge to create a desired sterile solution.

2 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the rotary housing, when connected to the sterile fluid delivery system, is selectively rotatable to facilitate creation of the desired sterile solution.

3 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the solute cartridge includes a frame, a filter supported by the frame, and a solute contained therein.

4 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 3 , wherein the solute is a pharmaceutical agent.

5 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 4 , wherein the pharmaceutical agent is at least one of an antibiotic, an antimicrobial agent, and silver ions.

6 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the rotary housing includes a central axis and the one or more bores are disposed circumferentially about the central axis.

7 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 3 , wherein the solute is one of a combination of sodium, chloride, lactate, potassium, calcium, and dextrose.

8 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 3 , wherein the frame of the solute cartridge is integrally formed with an inner surface defining a respective bore.

9 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 3 , wherein the solute cartridge is formed separately, and removable from, a respective one of the bores.

10 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the solute cartridge is sealed by a sealing material.

11 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 1 , where the one or more bores is/are provided with a drain port.

12 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the entire rotary housing is covered by a sealing material so that the multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier is adapted for single-use operation with the sterile fluid delivery system.

13 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 3 , wherein the filter is designed to filter solids between ten and one hundred microns.

14 . A multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier for use in a sterile fluid delivery system, the carrier comprising:
a rotary housing adapted for connection to the sterile fluid delivery system, the rotary housing including one or more bores configured to receive a solute cartridge; wherein the sterile fluid delivery system is configured to flow water through the solute cartridge to create a desired sterile solution; wherein the rotary housing includes a central axis and the one or more bores are disposed circumferentially about the central axis.

15 . A multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier for use in a sterile fluid delivery system, the carrier comprising:
a rotary housing adapted for connection to the sterile fluid delivery system, the rotary housing including one or more bores configured to receive a solute cartridge; wherein the sterile fluid delivery system is configured to flow water through the solute cartridge to create a desired sterile solution; wherein the rotary housing includes a central axis and the one or more bores are disposed circumferentially about the central axis; wherein the solute cartridge includes a frame, a filter supported by the frame, and a solute contained therein; wherein the solute cartridge is formed separately, and removable from, a respective one of the bores.

16 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 14 , wherein the rotary housing, when connected to the sterile fluid delivery system, is selectively rotatable to facilitate creation of the desired sterile solution.

17 . The multiple-bore solute cartridge carrier according to claim 15 , wherein the rotary housing, when connected to the sterile fluid delivery system, is selectively rotatable to facilitate creation of the desired sterile solution.
