A set connector assembly for a fluid infusion device is provided. The set connector assembly includes a connector having a body. The body defines a graspable portion and a coupling portion, and the coupling portion is to be received within a portion of the fluid infusion device. The graspable portion has at least one wing that defines at least one locking tab for locking the connector to the fluid infusion device. The graspable portion is movable relative to the body to move the connector between a first, locked position and a second, unlocked position relative to the fluid infusion device.

An enema adapter attaches to a plurality of bottles, shower hoses, or water hoses as the fluid storage vessel or fluid source for body cavity flushing applications, such as enema, douching, or similar applications. The enema adapter directs the flow of water from the into the body cavity for medical or hygienic needs. The enema adapter includes discharge nozzle, a first mounting adapter, at least one discharge opening, and a nozzle cap. The discharge nozzle focuses and directs fluid flow from a fluid reservoir out through the at least one discharge opening into the user's body cavity. The discharge nozzle attaches to the first mounting adapter. The first mounting adapter secures the enema adapter to the fluid reservoir.

A medical connector includes a body defining a lumen for fluid flow through the medical connector. The medical connector includes a luer member and an annular member disposed about the luer member. The annular member includes internal and/or external engagement structures. The medical connector may be provided on the outlet of a syringe or on a catheter. A fluid path is disclosed including a first section and a second section. The first and second sections may each include a medical connector to provide a removable connection with a syringe and a catheter, respectively. The medical connector may provide a removable connection between the first and second sections. A fluid delivery system is disclosed including an injector, a syringe operatively associated with the injector, and a fluid path connecting the syringe and a source of injection. The medical connector may provide a removable connection between the syringe and fluid path.

A pressure jacket includes a barrel having a proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall extending substantially circumferentially between the proximal end and the distal end along a longitudinal axis. The pressure jacket also includes at least one retaining member having at least one first lug protruding radially outward relative to an outer surface of the sidewall. The at least one first lug has at least one third surface tapered axially relative to the longitudinal axis of the barrel in a proximal direction. The at least one first lug is configured for engagement with a locking mechanism associated with a port on a fluid injector to releasably lock the pressure jacket with the fluid injector. At least a portion of the at least one third surface axially ejects the pressure jacket upon rotation of the pressure jacket about the longitudinal axis.

The present invention relates to a novel interchangeable lockable catheter having a cap, the cap locking onto a junction hub or base, and encasing at least one lumen proximally to the junction hub of a multi-lumen catheter, PICC line and the like. The interchangeable lockable catheter's cap and base may be made of more than one piece, and provide a locking mechanism sufficient to deter tampering, while providing a low profile, comfortable, sanitary, and efficient means of closing off lumens for patients leaving the treatment area.

A method and apparatus for a connection interface between a reservoir or syringe, infusion set tubing, and an infusion pump is provided. The reservoir, a base and a cap are connected to form an integrated unit that is capable of being inserted and secured in an infusion pump housing. The cap and the infusion pump are each provided with at least one sensor or at least one detectable feature, arranged to interact with at least one corresponding detectable feature or sensor on the other of the cap and infusion pump device, to detect one or more of the presence, position or other characteristic of the cap when the cap is aligned or coupled with the infusion pump housing. The detectable feature and sensor may be magnetic, RF, mechanical, optical or any combination.

An improved oral administration coupler for delivery of fluids such as medications and nutritional fluids. Example oral administration couplers have a first end with an applicator for oral delivery to an infant, and a second end with a coupling compatible with an enteral fluid delivery syringe. A fluid delivery conduit extends in fluid communication from the first end to the second end, to deliver fluid from the syringe to the infant. In some example embodiments, the coupler is configured for back-of-mouth delivery, and can comprise a generally elongate and at least partially flexible tube or straw.

A stabilizing connector includes a connector portion and a stabilization portion. The connector portion is configured to couple to an access device. The connector portion defines at least one lumen that is configured to be placed in fluid communication with a lumen of the access device. The stabilization portion is coupled to the connector portion. The stabilization portion is configured to be placed in contact with a surface of a patient's skin to stabilize at least one of the stabilizing connector or the access device.

An extracorporeal circuit has been conceived including: lines (16) which include passages for blood or a medical liquid; a connector (38, 40) at a free end of each of the lines (16); a cassette (18) supporting the lines, and dummy connectors (42, 44) attached to the cassette (18) and each adapted to form a mating connection with a respective one of the connectors (38, 40) at the free ends of the lines (16), wherein the connectors (38, 40) are arranged in accordance with a sequence in which the lines (16) are attached for a blood treatment session or are grouped in accordance with types of liquids to flow through the lines (16) during the blood treatment session. The extracorporeal circuit may be a circuit for dialysis and the circuit includes a hemodialyzer. Further, the connectors (38, 40) and dummy connectors (42, 44) may each be one of a male or female luer lock connector, and the dummy connectors (42, 44) may include both male and female connectors.

A novel design of a polymer retention hub created having an innovative feature used to permanently attach a thin wall nozzle core without use of adhesives or ancillary parts to form a conjunct nozzle. Additional polymer in the correct amount is molded into a polymer retention hub in close proximity to a location where a mechanical lock must be formed to join the two components together. The inventive design of the polymer retention hub is configured to produce an enclosed cavity with the strength required for separation of a nozzle core from a standard taper.
