Abstract:
Embodiments of a syringe-based device for delivering fluid include a housing, a port, the port being positioned at about the distal end of the housing, a plunger assembly, the plunger assembly including, a plunger seal, a valve, and a cannula, a first fluid reservoir, where the first fluid reservoir retains a first type of fluid, a syringe including a syringe body, a syringe port, a plunger, and a second fluid reservoir, the second fluid retaining a second type of fluid, and where the syringe transitions from a first configuration in which a first portion of the first fluid type is delivered through the port, to a second configuration in which the second type of fluid in the second fluid reservoir is delivered through the port, to a third configuration in which a second portion of the first fluid type is delivered through the port.

Claim (Index 1):
A syringe-based method for delivering fluid, the method comprising the steps of:\n providing a syringe-based device comprising;\n (a) a housing, the housing having an open proximal end and a distal end defining an inner volume; \n (b) a plunger assembly, the plunger assembly having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the plunger assembly is retained by the housing; \n (c) a first fluid reservoir, the first fluid reservoir being defined at least partially by the housing and the plunger assembly, wherein the first fluid reservoir is configured to retain a first amount of a first type of fluid; \n (d) an actuator mechanism, the actuator mechanism being selectively attachable to the plunger assembly, wherein the actuator mechanism is movable relative to the housing, the actuator mechanism comprising a syringe body; and \n (a) a plunger being moveable within the syringe body, the plunger and the syringe body cooperating to define a second fluid reservoir, wherein the second fluid reservoir is configured to retain a second amount of a second type of fluid; \n delivering a first portion of the first amount in the first fluid reservoir; delivering the second amount of the second type of fluid in the second fluid reservoir; and delivering a second portion of the first amount of the first type of fluid.
