The present invention provides a novel device and method of generating and bagging dialysate for continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD). The procedure involves the use of standard hemodialysis (HD) equipment and the device of the present invention. The device of the present invention is an adapter configured to be used with standard hemodialysis equipment.

An infusion device includes an infusion pump and an infusion tube assembly. The infusion tube assembly includes a first tube body connected to the infusion pump, a tube joint structure having first, second and third tube joints, a second tube body, and a clamping device on the second tube body. The clamping device is to clamp the second tube body. An infusion method includes instructing the infusion pump to perform an infusion operation. When bubbles are detected in a liquid in the infusion tube assembly, the infusion pump is instructed to stop the infusion operation and a bubble alarm is generated. After the infusion pump stops the infusion operation, it is determined whether a pressure of the liquid first drops to a first pressure value and then rises to a second pressure value. If yes, a rinsing operation is performed.

An enteral feeding adapter suitable for use with a plurality of infusion sets includes an outer body component made of a flexible material and containing a feeding port for receipt of a distal connector of an infusion set. A rigid body insert is seated within an internal recess of the outer body component and defines a proximal section of the feeding port. The insert includes a first continuous radial seal barb that engages the flexible material of the outer body component, and a plurality of separate and circumferentially spaced radial second seal barbs distal to the first seal barb that engage the flexible material.

A male luer connector is provided that includes a luer slip having a first material, the luer slip sized and shaped to mate with a female connector. A collar is disposed on an outer surface of the luer slip, the collar having a second material and a plurality of first grip features disposed on an outer surface of the collar. A grip is coupled to the luer slip, the grip having a third material and a plurality of second grip features disposed on an outer surface of the grip, wherein one of the plurality of first and second grip features are configured to provide a slip resistant grip surface. Infusion sets and infusion set luer connector assemblies are also provided.

A connector system (47, 48, 49, 50) for a medical application including a male single channel fluid connector (X) designed with an outer collar (M2) arranged concentric with an inner tube (3) and extending beyond a center collar (M1), and a female single channel fluid connector (Y) is designed with an outer collar (F1) arranged concentric with a tube (13), wherein the male single channel fluid connector (X) is interconnectable with the female single channel fluid connector (Y) to thereby form a fluid tight single channel connection for passage of fluid, and to a luer type female single channel fluid connector (YS), and wherein the female single channel fluid connector (Y) is interconnectable with a luer type male single channel fluid connector (XS). Also a system including a plurality of the connector systems is disclosed.

The present disclosure is directed to a device for delivering an antimicrobial composition into a medical device. Some embodiments disclosed herein provide a method for preventing infection and microbial ingress in medical device connections. The device includes a male connector with a distal tip and a recess at the distal tip. The surface of the recess includes an antimicrobial composition. In certain implementations a male luer comprises a tapered sealing member further comprising a recess containing chlorhexidine acetate.

A flow restriction device may include a male luer connector portion, a female luer connector portion disposed proximally to the male luer connector portion, and a body portion extending between the male and female luer portions, and integrally formed with the male and female luer portions to form a single monolithic piece. The male luer connector portion may have an internal surface defining a lumen thereof, and the female luer connector portion may have an internal surface defining a lumen fluidly connected to the lumen of the male luer connector portion. The body portion may have a recess extending longitudinally therethrough and fluidly communicated with the lumens of the male luer portion and the female luer portion. The recess may define a micro-channel along which fluid flows from the male luer connector portion into the fluid collection device via the female luer connector portion.

A system for enhanced sealing of coupled medical lines includes a male fitting, a female fitting, and a flexible annular collar seal. The seal provides a sealing function to an open end of the connector. The male fitting is made of medical grade materials and includes a male connector fluidly coupled to a first line. The female fitting is made of medical grade materials and including a female connector fluidly coupled to a second line and configured to mate with the male connector. The seal is made of a medical grade polymer coupled to one or both the male fitting and the female fitting.

A tip cap including a central body extending between a first end and a second end. The first end includes a syringe coupling and the second end can include a projection or pivot. In example embodiments, axial engagement of an end connector of a syringe with the syringe coupling self-connects the tip cap with the end connector of the syringe while rotating about the pivot. According to example embodiments, a flange extends outwardly from the central body to define a width or side-to-side dimension. In example embodiments, the minimum side-to-side dimension is about 1.25 inches.

A morselizer has a first end section with an axially and radially hollow luer fitting, a second end section with an axially and radially hollow luer fitting, a housing juxtaposed therebetween, a channel extending axially between the first end section and the second end section and through the housing providing an axial liquid pathway therein, and at least one blade disposed within the housing. Each end of the morselizer is attachable to a structure with a complimentarily sized luer fitting. In an embodiment, the morselizer facilitates atraumatic resizing of material through axial liquid transfer, by transferring material from a first structure attached to the first end section, thence through the channel, where material is resized by the blade, and through the second end section to a second structure attached to the second end section. The resized material may be suitable for injection, such as through a fine needle.
