A manifold for a medical waste collection apparatus includes a fluid path connection portion and a storage connection portion. The storage connection portion includes a mounting connector in communication with the fluid path connection portion and coupled with the mounting base of the waste collection apparatus, and a docking valve arranged inside a connector cavity defined by inner walls of the connector. The docking valve is in an open state when the mounting connector is coupled with the mounting base, and a passage is formed between the storage connection portion and a waste collection container in the waste collection apparatus. The docking valve is in a closed state to close the connector cavity when the mounting connector is decoupled. The connection port between the manifold and the apparatus does not require manual opening or closing, thereby preventing waste from contaminating the environment, equipment and personnel, and enhancing convenience of use.

A disposable patch pump may be provided with a filling adapter, to ensure filling by an authorized user. The adapter mates with the pump and a source of medicament, such as an insulin vial, to prevent filling the pump directly with a conventional syringe. The adapter and/or pump filling port may be configured with a frangible element, to limit the system to single use.

Example implementations relate to a magnetic fluid connector. For example, a magnetic fluid connector can include a magnet, an internal fluid path defined by a first portion and a second portion when the first portion and the second portion are coupled together, and a movable member that is movable to seal the internal fluid path, where the magnet provides at least a portion of a force sufficient to seal the internal fluid path.

A connector device for a fluid system for medical purposes is disclosed that includes a main housing having a fluid flow chamber forming two channel portions leading in different directions towards two open attachments, wherein the attachments are provided for connection to a fluid line or a fluid reservoir, and with an attachment port which opens into the fluid flow chamber and which has a closure arrangement and which includes a Luer connecting portion. The fluid flow chamber has a dimensionally stable flow-guiding wall which is arranged between the two channel portions in the fluid flow chamber and protrudes freely with a front edge towards the attachment port in such a way that the closure arrangement, upon opening of the closure arrangement, interacts with the front edge of the flow-guiding wall in order to effect flow of fluid out of the attachment port into only one channel portion.

A normally closed port valve seals a hydraulic hose connection port of a hydraulic bicycle component. Connection of an end of a hydraulic hose assembly to the port opens the valve, placing the assembly's hydraulic fluid chamber in fluid communication with the interior of the hose assembly. A hydraulic cylinder of the assembly is in fluid communication with the chamber. A spring may be used to bias the valve to a closed condition and simultaneously to bias a brake actuating piston to a non-actuated position.

A system includes a flow control assembly having a first portion configured to be positioned within and coupled to a first passageway formed in a wellhead component and a second portion configured to be coupled to a second passageway formed in a body that is configured to be coupled to the wellhead component. An actuator of the second portion is configured to drive a valve member of the first portion into an open position to enable fluid flow across the flow control assembly.

A docking device for mechanically connecting an upper and a lower container module of a multipart container. The docking device includes an upper docking segment which is fastenable on an opening of the upper container module, and a lower docking segment which is fastenable on an opening of the lower container module. Fluid is configured to move from the upper container module into the lower container module. An upper docking region of an upper channel section and/or an upper docking segment and a lower docking region of a lower channel section and/or the lower docking segment can be arranged in such a way that the fluid flows through an externally leak-tight channel in an open valve body position. An actuating assembly is arranged in the upper channel section and/or in the lower channel section.
