A sterilizable connector may include a sterilization fluid reservoir to provide a sterilization fluid. The sterilizable connector may include a connector. The connector may include a first end to receive a first tube to connect to a medical device (e.g., directly or via one or more intervening components). The connector may include a second end to receive a second tube to connect to a patient (e.g., directly or via one or more intervening components). The connector may include a body to couple the first end to the second end to enable fluid transfer between the first tube and the second tube. The connector may include a body opening to couple to the sterilization fluid reservoir. The sterilizable connector may include a sterilization fluid injector to inject the sterilization fluid from the sterilization fluid reservoir to the connector.

A disinfecting and pre-opening device is disclosed for use with a female needleless connector. The disinfecting and pre-opening device includes a housing comprising a chamber having a distal opening and configured to fit over the female needleless connector, and an elongated finger attached to the housing and disposed within the chamber such that the elongated finger opens the fluid path through the female needleless connector when the distal opening of the disinfecting and pre-opening device is placed proximally adjacent to the septum and the disinfecting and pre-opening device is advanced in the distal direction.

Modules for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a system to measure and record administration of one or more IV medications or fluids for IV administration.

Capping and cleansing devices for capping and cleansing threaded vascular access connectors, particularly luer access devices such as needlefree vascular access connectors, threaded male luer connectors, and threaded open female luer connectors, and methods for using such devices, are described. The devices of the invention include interconnected inner and outer housings that a user can transition between a locked or engaged position to allow them to rotate in unison and a unlocked or disengaged position that allows the outer housing to rotate independently of the inner housing about the device's central axis, and a compressible cleansing matrix secured in the device (preferably in a well in the outer housing).

A connector system for medical fluid includes a male connector and a female connector that have a closed configuration when detached from one another. The first end of the male connector is configured to mate with a first end of the female connector. When the male connector is coupled with the female connector, complementary structures engage to move seals away from ports in the male connector and the female connector, opening a fluid pathway through the connectors. The mating ends of the connectors are not exposed to the medical fluid when the connectors are coupled so that when the connectors are disconnected, the mating ends are substantially free of residual medical fluid.
