Abstract:
A system and method for dispensing a nitric oxide solution, and more preferably a gas/liquid mixture of nitric oxide in a solvent, from a cylinder or other containment vessel are provided. The dispensing system and method are configured so as to maintain the nitric oxide based solution within the cylinder or containment vessel at a constant pressure above ambient pressure as the gas/liquid mixture is stored in and depleted from the containment vessel thus preventing the nitric oxide from coming out of the solution. In addition, a method of producing the gas/liquid mixture of nitric oxide in a solvent, such as deoxygenated and deionized water, as well as a cylinder filling method and apparatus are also provided.

Claim (Index 21):
A dispensing system for a gas/liquid mixture comprising:\n a container comprising a body section defining an interior chamber having one or more interior surfaces; a dispensing end; and an opposite end; a moveable or expandable structure disposed within the interior chamber of the container, the moveable or expandable structure having a distal end, a proximal end, and one or more side surfaces, the moveable or expandable structure configured such that the one or more side surfaces are sealingly engaged with the one or more interior surfaces of the interior chamber of the container to define a first section of the interior chamber between to the distal end of the moveable or expandable structure and dispensing end of the container and a second section of the interior chamber between to the proximal end of the moveable or expandable structure and the opposite end of the container; the gas/liquid mixture comprising nitric oxide gas in liquid solvent disposed in the first section of the interior chamber of the container; and a motive source in operative association with the container and the moveable or expandable structure and configured to cause the moveable or expandable structure to traverse the interior chamber of the container; wherein the dispensing end of the container includes at least one port through which the gas/liquid mixture of nitric oxide in liquid solvent is dispensed as the moveable or expandable structure traverses or expands within the interior chamber of the container; and wherein the distal end of the moveable or expandable structure remains in contact with a liquid surface of the gas/liquid mixture of nitric oxide in liquid solvent in the first section of the interior chamber so as to prevent nitric oxide from coming out of the liquid solvent.
