16. The dental treatment instrument as claimed in claim 15, wherein said container has a rubber sleeve thereon for connecting said container to a spout of a faucet and a clamp for tightening said rubber sleeve around said spout.
17. The dental treatment instrument as claimed in claim 16, wherein said clamp comprises a lever-operated cam-lock device.
18. The dental treatment instrument as claimed in claim 16 further a valve mounted in said handle section for selectively letting water flow through said water conduit.
19. The dental treatment instrument as claimed in claim 18, wherein said valve is operated by a push button and said push button is partly enclosed in a shroud.
20. The dental treatment instrument as claimed in claim 19, wherein said push button is mounted in said shroud with a sliding fit and is urged outward relative to said handle end by a spring, said shroud has means for preventing water from seeping along said valve and said spring.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
1. A medical infusion and aspiration system for accurate pulsatile delivery, the medical infusion and aspiration system comprising:
at least one cassette having a cartridge, a housing and a plunger; the cartridge having a cylindrical shape, an outer cartridge surface, a reservoir area, and a neck opening; the outer cartridge surface having a threaded surface and an encoded area; the housing having a bottom surface, a central axis and an inner threaded surface,
an infusion tube,
a pumping mechanism having a gear linkage, a motor and a pumping device, and
an in-line sensor probe.
2. The medical infusion and aspiration system of claim 1, wherein the outer cartridge surface is in threaded relationship to the housing inner threaded surface.
3. The medical infusion and aspiration system of claim 1, wherein the infusion tube is connectively coupled to the neck opening.
4. The medical infusion and aspiration system of claim 1, wherein the cartridge is configured to receive a cap and a container top.
5. The medical infusion and aspiration system of claim 1, wherein the housing has a plurality of openings parallel to the central axis of the housing; the plurality of openings allows for trapped air to be exhausted and creates an inspection window.
6. The medical infusion and aspiration system of claim 1, wherein the bottom surface of the housing has a lip to receive a removable cover.
