CATHETER ADAPTER ASSEMBLY AND SYSTEM

摘要

A catheter adapter assembly includes an adapter body and a slider body. The adapter body includes a distal end portion configured to receive a catheter, a coupling disposed on the distal end portion, and a fitting on the proximal end portion. The slider body is disposed about the adapter body and axially slides along the adapter body. The slider body includes a release, a latch disposed at a distal end of the release, and a flexing portion disposed at a proximal end of the release. The slider body also includes compression element that compresses the tubular catheter receiver in response engagement of the latch and the coupling. A catheter adapter system comprising the catheter adapter assembly and a nest that holds the catheter adapter assembly is also disclosed.

1. A catheter adapter assembly, comprising:
an adapter body having proximal and distal ends, the adapter body comprising:
the distal end portion configured to receive a catheter;a coupling disposed on the distal end portion; anda fitting on the proximal end portion configured to connect to a fluid line; a slider body disposed about the adapter body and configured to axially slide relative to the adapter body, the slider body comprising:
a release comprising a latch disposed at a distal end of the release and a flexing portion disposed at a proximal end of the release, the latch being configured to engage the coupling of the adapter body to prevent axial movement of the slider body relative to the adapter body; anda compression element configured to compress the catheter to hold the catheter in the adapter body in response to engagement of the latch of the slider body and the coupling of the adapter body.
