Infusion connection lines for use in infusion sets are provided. The infusion connection line includes a pump infusion tube having connectors at both ends and an indicator element for showing the installation direction within an infusion pump is disposed between the connectors. The infusion connection line is configured to connect a gravity IV set to any type of infusion pump while improving the pump infusion accuracy and minimizing tube leakage or breakage over directly connecting the gravity IV set to the infusion pump. The infusion connection line may be disconnected and disposed of after use without requiring disposal of the rest of the pump IV infusion set and/or components.

A filter adaptor includes a body that defines an internal passageway disposed between an inlet and an outlet, the passageway configured to permit passage of a fluid in a first direction defined by the inlet and the outlet; and a filter disposed within the passageway and oriented to define a volumetric direction that is different than the first direction. Another filter adaptor includes a body that defines an internal passageway disposed between an inlet and an outlet, and a filter disposed within the passageway, wherein the filter comprises a gelling absorbent material that, when in a dry state, is permeable to gas and that, when contacted by an aqueous fluid, converts to a gel. Such filter adaptors may be used for negative pressure wound therapy, dressing, or as syringe filters.

An intermittent, injection port assembly includes a flexible valve member of the type which is laterally deflected when moved from a closed position to an open position. A high flow non-tortuous flow passage is provided through the injection port assembly by a plurality of lateral passages bypassing a base which supports the flexible valve member.

An apparatus includes a movable member and a valve coupled to the movable member. The movable member is configured to be disposed within a housing of a medical device and has a first end portion and second end portion. A portion of the first end portion is configured to define a portion of a boundary of a gas chamber. The first end portion defines an opening configured to be in fluid communication between the gas chamber and an area outside the gas chamber. The second end portion is configured to be coupled to a needle configured to deliver a medicament into a body. The valve is configured to selectively allow fluid communication between the gas chamber and the area outside the gas chamber through the opening defined by the first end portion of the movable member.

The present invention provides an adaptor that is suitable for attachment to an endoscopic device for delivery of a secondary gas. The adaptor generally comprises an adaptor body with first and second fluid transport components and can include a gas inlet on one of the fluid transport components suitable for attachment to a secondary gas source. A sealing member can be included to prevent leakage of any fluid (e.g., liquid or gas) that is transported through channels extending through the fluid transport components. The adaptor may be used in endoscopy methods and is particularly useful for adding a secondary gas source in an endoscopy procedure.

A connector connection indicator is mounted in a Luer male connector, or in a Luer female connector, to indicate proper mating of the two Luer connectors. The connection indicator may be or include a light source, a sound producing device (e.g., buzzer), a switch, a tactile connection indicator or an electronic chip. The electronic chip may be interposed between two conductive elements that are mounted in the Luer female connector. When the two Luer connectors are properly engaged, the electronic chip is powered via two electrical terminals. While the electronic chip is powered up it communicates with an external system via two electrical terminals. The external system interprets the communication with the electronic chip as an indication to proper engagement of the two Luer connectors. Some of the connection indicators may be mounted on a circuit board that is embedded in a void in the Luer male connector.

A device for connection to a medical connector, the device includes a cap, a barrier wall, a first seal, a second seal, a first annular wall including a plurality of internal threads, and a second annular wall including a plurality of external threads. Also described is a device for connection to a medical connector, the device includes a cap, a first seal, a second seal, a first annular wall including a plurality of internal threads, and a second annular wall including a plurality of external threads. The cap configured to define a first chamber to contain an absorbent material and disinfectant or antimicrobial agent and a second chamber to contain an absorbent material and disinfectant or antimicrobial agent. The cap includes one or more internal threads adapted to engage with a female luer connector. The cap also includes one or more external threads adapted to engage with a male luer connector. The first seal and the second seal prevent the disinfectant or the antimicrobial agent from exiting the first chamber and the second chamber.

The administration system including a stopcock including a fluid inlet path, a first fluid outlet path and a second fluid outlet path, the first fluid outlet path being equipped with a connecting member configured to be connected to an administration extension tube; a purge tubing including a first end fluidly connected to the second fluid outlet path and a second end configured to be fluidly connected to a collection container; and a non-return valve configured to enable a flow of fluid from the second fluid outlet path to the purge tubing and to prevent a flow of fluid from the purge tubing to the second fluid outlet path.

Medical connectors, including connectors for fluidly coupling fluid lines are disclosed. Some connectors may be configured for coupling fluid lines together including keying features to enable coupling of connector pairs having corresponding keying features and prevent coupling of connector pairs having non-corresponding keying features.

A connector (100) includes a body (101) and a plurality of ports (102,103,104) extending distally from a front major face (301) of the body. The body defines a connector bay (320) configured to couple to any of a single-tube, intermittent, deep vein thrombosis therapy male connector (901), a double-tube, intermittent, deep vein thrombosis therapy male connector (902), or a three-tube, sequential, deep vein thrombosis therapy male connector (903).
