Abstract

A receptacle container for supplying a fluid into a body or body component having a connected monitoring unit in order to monitor a fluid reaction.

Claims (46)

1 . An apparatus comprising:

a proximally located first fluid inlet;

two distally located first fluid outlets, the first fluid outlets directly connected to the first fluid inlet, wherein the first fluid inlet and the first fluid outlets are guided in parallel to one another,

a proximally located second fluid outlet;

a distally located second fluid inlet, the second fluid outlet directly connected to the second fluid inlet, wherein the second fluid inlet and the second fluid outlet are guided in parallel to one another, and wherein the second fluid outlet is fluidically separate from the first fluid outlets, and the first fluid inlet is fluidically separate from the second fluid inlet; and

a reversible flexible measuring probe, wherein at least one first fluid outlet is configured to receive the reversible flexible measuring probe.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, in a transition between the first fluid inlet and the first fluid outlets, these are spatially opened, so that fluid flow from the first fluid inlet is divided into two first fluid outlets guided in parallel.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first fluid outlets has a smaller diameter than the first fluid inlet.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the flexible measuring probe is configured to extend through the first fluid inlet up to or into an inner body of the apparatus.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one first fluid outlet is capable of being sealed off by a closure.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one first fluid outlet is connected to a positive or negative pressure device.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the flexible measuring probe is configured to measure a CO 2 value.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second fluid inlet is configured to receive a gas comprising nitrous oxide.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second fluid inlet is guided in parallel to both the two first fluid outlets.

10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a diameter of the first fluid inlet to the diameter of each of the two first fluid outlets is selected from the group consisting of:

between 2:0.5 and 2:1.5; and

between 5:0.5 and 5:1.5.

11 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of cross-sections of the first fluid inlet to the two first fluid outlets is selected from the group consisting of 1.4:1; 2:1, 5.3:1, 5:1, 176:127, and 110:21.

12 . The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the two first fluid outlets each comprise a first fluid outlet axis,

wherein the first fluid inlet comprises a first fluid inlet axis,

wherein the second fluid inlet comprises a second fluid inlet axis, and

wherein the second fluid outlet comprises a second fluid outlet axis.

13 . The apparatus of claim 12 ,

wherein each of the first fluid outlet axes are offset from each of:

the first fluid inlet axis;

the second fluid inlet axis; and

the second fluid outlet axis.

14 . A system comprising:

a receptacle container that can be applied or connected to a body, the receptacle container comprising a base body, and an inner body detachably connectable therein, and wherein the receptacle container is connected by flexible tubular formations to a system for providing fluids, furthermore comprising an apparatus comprising:

a proximally located first fluid inlet;

two distally located first fluid outlets, the first fluid outlets directly connected to the first fluid inlet, wherein the first fluid inlet and the first fluid outlets are guided in parallel to one another,

a proximally located second fluid outlet; and

a distally located second fluid inlet, the second fluid outlet directly connected to the second fluid inlet, wherein the second fluid inlet and the second fluid outlet are guided in parallel to one another, and wherein the second fluid outlet is fluidically separate from the first fluid outlets, and the first fluid inlet is fluidically separate from the second fluid inlet.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the flexible tubular formation is also connected to a pressure device and/or mixing system, in addition to the system for providing fluids.

16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the second inlet is guided in parallel to both the first fluid inlet and the two first fluid outlets.

17 . The system of claim 14 ,

wherein the two first fluid outlets each comprise a first fluid outlet axis,

wherein the first fluid inlet comprises a first fluid inlet axis,

wherein the second fluid inlet comprises a second fluid inlet axis, and

wherein the second fluid outlet comprises a second fluid outlet axis.

18 . The system of claim 17 ,

wherein each of the first fluid outlet axes are offset from each of:

the first fluid inlet axis;

the second fluid inlet axis; and

the second fluid outlet axis.
