11. IVAC Corporation FIBER OPTIC IV DROP SENSOR Research and development of a fiber optic volumetric drop sensor. Illustrated are three experimental fabrication stages of the fiber optic components, resulting in an operational prototype of the volumetric drop sensor. The prototype consists of four opposing stacked fiber optic components which create four thin beams of light. Drops from the cannula in a drip chamber of an intravenous delivery set fall through the four light beams sequentially, attenuating each light signal. An algorithm calculates the volume of each falling drop, counts the drops fallen over time and sums the result for fluid volume being delivered to the patient.

13. IVAC Corporation This latch was later employed in IVAC’s series 560 and 570 Linear Peristaltic Pumps Problem: Previous door latch only required a single motion to open door on linear peristaltic pump. Some accidental door openings allowed IV fluid to free flow. Solution: Retrofit existing door latch with formed sheet metal part, resulting in a two-motion action to unlatch door. First motion: Push spring loaded latch button “down”, moving sheet metal part with bar over door frame shelf. Second motion: Push latch button “in” to rotate latch, exposing latch handle to complete latch rotation thus allowing door to pivot open.
