A connector assembly for connecting medical lines (3, 4) to each other comprises a first connector (1) having an insertion shaft (12) to be inserted, along an insertion direction (I), into an insertion opening (22) of a second connector (2) for forming a fluid connection between the medical lines (3, 4), the insertion shaft (12) comprising a fluid channel (120) allowing fluid to flow in between the first connector (1) and the second connector (2). Herein, a cap element (14) is attachable to the first connector (1) for closing the fluid channel (120) towards the outside in a state in which the first connector (1) is not connected to the second connector (2), the first connector (1) having a first retention device (123) and the cap element (14) having a second retention device (143), the first retention device (123) and the second retention device (143) being configured to form a positive locking engagement in between the cap element (14) and the first connector (1) along the insertion direction (I).

Levers (30) are connected to a base end portion (13) of a male luer via a base (15). Each lever includes a locking portion (31) and an operating portion (35). A locking claw (32) protrudes from each locking portion toward the male luer. A lock ring (8) is provided opposing inner surfaces of the operating portions. The lock ring is movable between a first position at which the lock ring is located close to the base and a second position at which the lock ring is located away from the base. When the lock ring is at the first position, the levers are pivotable such that the locking claws move away from the male luer. When the lock ring is at the second position, the lock ring restricts the levers from pivoting such that the locking claws move away from the male luer.

Medical devices including a cap for a medical connector are disclosed. In some embodiments, the cap comprises a disinfectant, such as an antiseptic fluid and an insert configured to seal or partially seal the medical connector as it is engaged with the cap. In some embodiments the cap insert has a segment which is deformable under axially applied pressure as an end-user attaches the cap to the medical connector. In some embodiments this insert is configured to improve the exposure of antiseptic to the outer surface of the medical connector while minimizing exposure of the antiseptic inside the medical connector open lumen.

A multi-port connector such as a closed intravenous (IV) access device with a y-port needle-free connector may be provided. The multi-port connector may include a main housing with a longitudinal axis, a needle free connector disposed along the longitudinal axis, and a y-port extending from a sidewall of the main housing at an angle that is non-parallel with the longitudinal axis. The needle-free connector may include a compressible sealing member that, when compressed opens a first fluid pathway from a first port, through a chamber within the housing, and to an output port. The y-port may be fluidly coupled to the chamber and the output port.

A port arrangement (1) comprising a fluid module (2) incorporating a first port (3) arranged to receive a first connector (4) and a second port (5) arranged to receive a second connector (6). The first port (3) provides a first circumferential space (3c) around a first tube (3a). The second port (5) provides a second circumferential space (5c) around a second tube (5c). The fluid module (2) further incorporates a bypass channel (7) connecting the first circumferential space (3c) and the circumferential second space (5c). The port arrangement (1) further comprises a door (20) comprising a first seal (21) and a second seal (22) arranged to seal the first circumferential space (3c) and the second circumferential space (5c) against the outside. The disclosure also relates to a purified water producing apparatus (100) comprising the port arrangement (1), and a method for performing port cleaning of the water producing apparatus (100).

A tube and connector assembly for warming an intravenous fluid comprises a tube, a temperature sensor, and a connector. The tube includes a single hollow generally cylindrical side wall with an inner surface along which the intravenous fluid flows. The tube further includes first and second electrically conductive wires, each within the side wall and electrically connected to one another to carry electrical current to warm the intravenous fluid. The temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of the fluid flowing through the tube. The connector includes first, second, and third side walls. The first side wall receives the tube. The second side wall is positioned opposite the first side wall and is configured to receive line tubing. The third side wall is spaced apart from the second side wall and includes threads on an inner surface thereof configured to receive a line connector for the intravenous line.

An intravenous (IV) spike for administering a medicinal fluid from a container includes an elongate body having an upper portion and a lower portion, and a plurality of screw threads disposed along and protruding radially outward from an outer surface of the lower portion of the elongate body. The elongate body is configured to be coupled to a drip chamber. The outer surface is configured to engage an internal surface of an outlet port of the container in a coupled configuration. In the coupled configuration edges of the screw threads grip and engage the internal surface of the outlet port of the container to create a seal between the lower portion of the elongate body and the outlet port of the container and to retain the body in the outlet port.

A multi-port connector such as a closed intravenous (IV) access device with a y-port needle-free connector may be provided. The multi-port connector may include a main housing with a longitudinal axis, a needle free connector disposed along the longitudinal axis, and a y-port extending from a sidewall of the main housing at an angle that is non-parallel with the longitudinal axis. The needle-free connector may include a compressible sealing member that, when compressed opens a first fluid pathway from a first port, through a chamber within the housing, and to an output port. The y-port may be fluidly coupled to the chamber and the output port.

An enteral adapter coupling for connecting non-ENFit threaded enteral equipment with ISO 80369-3 compliant and compatible enteral equipment. The adapter coupling includes a first end substantially corresponding to an ISO 80369-3 coupling format, a second end substantially conforming to a threaded enteral feeding coupling format, and an internal lumen extending through the coupling allowing fluid communication between the first end and the second end.

The present disclosure is directed to a flexible cap for a medical fitting, such as a luer-lock fitting. The flexible cap includes a cap component defining a top surface, a cylindrical wall extending opposite from the top surface of the cap component, and an inner sealing surface. The cylindrical wall defines a hollow interior configured to receive an internal tapered sealing wall of a male connector of the medical fitting so as to form a seal with an outer surface of the tapered sealing wall. Further, the inner sealing surface of the flexible cap is configured within the hollow interior. Thus, when the tapered sealing wall of the male connector of the medical fitting is received within the hollow interior of the cylindrical wall, the inner sealing surface of the flexible cap seals the fluid passageway of the tapered sealing wall.
