An infusion base for attachment to a user of an infusion set comprises an adapter having a lower portion, an inner wall portion, and a gap between the lower portion and the inner wall portion. At least one of the lower portion and the inner wall portion is configured to receive an attachment.

A sterile solution product bag includes sterilization grade filter integrated directly into the product bag such that microbial and particulate matter filtration can be performed using the filter directly at the point of fill. The filter can include a hollow fiber filter membrane contained in a stem connected to a bladder of the product bag.

The invention relates to a unit (1), particularly for use with an apparatus (2) configured to connect a tubular fitting (24) to a connector (14) and to disconnect the tubular fitting (24) from the connector (14), the unit (1) comprising: a body (16) having a first receptacle (18) and a connector holder (26) configured to hold the connector (14), a second receptacle (20), wherein each of said receptacles (18, 20) is configured for holding an end cap (22) of the tubular fitting (24), and wherein the unit (1) further comprises a capsule (290) that is configured to be connected to said body (16) in a releasable fashion, wherein said second receptacle (20) is formed by the capsule (290). Furthermore, the invention relates to a capsule (290) and to an apparatus (2).

A slip luer assembly includes a hub member and a latch member coupled to the hub member. The hub member includes an outer hub surface, and inner hub surface and a window surface. The window surface defines a window extending from the outer hub surface to the inner hub surface. The latch member includes at least one blade. The latch member is configured to be actuated between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the at least one blade is not positioned within the window of the hub member. In the second position, the at least one blade is positioned at least partially within the window of the hub member.

A system relating to improved medical-connector contamination prevention. More particularly, this invention relates to a reduced-touch contamination system for small-bore fluid connectors, including male and female Luer-type connectors.

A catheter enclosure device for locking an intravenous catheter therein with tamper-evident features to deter unauthorized use. The catheter enclosure device may be particularly useful for peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC). The enclosure device comprises an open-top box and a removable lid for covering the box. The open-top box has a compartment for holding the proximal end of an intravenous catheter. The lid comprises a panel for covering the open portion of the open-top box and a folding wing that overhangs the forward end of the box when covering the box. The folding wing further comprises a retaining anchor. When the folding wing is folded down, the retaining anchor inserts into a locking slot on the forward end of the box, thereby preventing the lid from being removed off the box. Also disclosed are methods for using the catheter enclosure device.

An infusion base for attachment to a user of an infusion set comprises an adapter having a lower portion, an inner wall portion, and a gap between the lower portion and the inner wall portion. At least one of the lower portion and the inner wall portion is configured to receive an attachment.

Described herein are systems and methods for performing peritoneal dialysis. According to one aspect, the disclosure provides a sterile interface connection for connecting a water purification system to a disposable source of dialysate concentrates. The sterile interface connection can include a chamber comprising an inlet adapted to be connected to the water purification system on a proximal end and a valve on a distal end. The sterile interface connection can also include spring-loaded needle disposed in the chamber. The spring-loaded needle can move between a retracted configuration in which the spring-loaded needle is fully retracted into the chamber and the valve is closed and sealed, and an extended configuration in which the spring-loaded needle extends through the valve into the disposable source of dialysate concentrates.

A luer lock adaptor including a housing defining an axis, an internal luer lock element having a threading, the internal luer lock element being located internally of the housing and being rotatably mounted thereto for rotation about the axis relative to the housing, in a manner which permits rotation of the luer lock element relative to the housing in a first rotation direction about the axis and limits rotation of the luer lock element relative to the housing in a second rotation direction about the axis, opposite to the first rotation direction, whereby the location of the internal luer lock element internally of the housing prevents manual access to the internal luer lock element for limiting rotation thereof in the first rotation direction.

A coupling device that can removably couple medical tubing with a mating connector is disclosed and can include a housing and an inner body movable to different orientations, where an orientation is configured to resist separation of the coupling device and mating connector, and another orientation is configured such that resistance to separation from the mating connector is reduced, where any of the housing and the inner body can be moved relative to each other, and where the coupling device can permit separation of the coupling device and mating connector when a portion of the coupling device is moved, biased, and/or flexed when the coupling device and the mating connector are moved in directions away from each other, and where the coupling device can be re-coupled with a mating connector after separation of the coupling device and the mating connector.
