Single-dose syringe driver

Abstract

Various methods and devices for driving fluid from a syringe are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a luer fitting for connecting a syringe barrel to a syringe driver is provided that includes a proximal female end including a socket adapted to be removably mated to a male luer fitting on the syringe barrel. The luer fitting further includes a distal end including a nozzle adapted to receive a fluid conduit. The distal end has a non-threaded axially-oriented annular socket formed therein for removably receiving a protrusion on the syringe driver.

1 . A luer fitting for connecting a syringe barrel to a syringe driver, comprising:
 a proximal female end including a socket adapted to be removably mated to a male luer fitting on the syringe barrel; and   a distal end including a nozzle adapted to receive a fluid conduit, the distal end having a non-threaded axially-oriented annular socket formed therein for removably receiving a protrusion on the syringe driver.   
     
     
         2 . The luer fitting of  claim 1 , further comprising a collar portion or barrel formed around the nozzle in the distal end of the luer fitting. 
     
     
         3 . The luer fitting of  claim 1 , wherein the non-threaded axially-oriented annular socket in the distal end of the luer fitting is formed between the collar portion or barrel and the nozzle. 
     
     
         4 . The luer fitting of  claim 1 , further comprising a fluid conduit mated to the distal end of the luer fitting.
