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 13):
A syringe-based method for delivering fluid, the method comprising the steps of:\n providing a housing, the housing having an open proximal end and a distal end defining an inner volume, the housing comprising;\n (a) a port, the port being positioned at about the distal end of the housing; \n (b) an abutment, the abutment being coupled with the housing; \n (c) a lumen, the lumen extending distally from the abutment to the distal end of the housing, wherein the lumen is fluidically coupled with the port; \n providing a plunger assembly, the plunger assembly having a proximal end and a distal end, the plunger assembly comprising;\n (a) a plunger seal, wherein the plunger seal defines a channel, the plunger seal being moveable distally relative to the housing; \n (b) a valve, wherein the valve is coupled with the channel of the plunger seal; \n (c) a cannula, the cannula extending distally from the plunger seal, wherein the cannula is fluidically coupled with the valve; \n providing a first fluid reservoir, the first fluid reservoir being defined at least partially by the housing, the abutment, and the plunger seal, wherein the first fluid reservoir contains a first type of fluid; providing a syringe including a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the syringe configured to be retained at least partially within the inner volume defined by the housing, wherein the syringe is movable relative to the housing, the syringe comprising;\n (a) a syringe body having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end of the syringe body having a syringe port, wherein the syringe port is fluidically coupleable to the valve; \n (b) a plunger having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the plunger is moveable within the syringe body from a proximal position to a distal position; and \n (c) a second fluid reservoir, the second fluid reservoir being defined at least partially by the syringe body and the plunger, wherein the second fluid reservoir is fluidically coupled with the syringe port and retains a second type of fluid; and \n transitioning from a first configuration in which a first portion of the first type of fluid in the first fluid reservoir 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; and transitioning from the second configuration to a third configuration in which a second portion of the first type of fluid in the first fluid reservoir is delivered through the port.
