Connection System for Medical Device Components

摘要

A connection system for connecting a first medical device component to a second medical device component is disclosed. The connection system of the present disclosure provides for quick and intuitive coupling and decoupling of two opposing medical device components through the use of a connection path and a disconnection path, the connection path being distinct from the disconnection path. Furthermore, the connection system of the present disclosure provides audible and tactile connection feedback through the use of elastically deformable connection elements.

1. A system comprising:
a first medical device component having a first end, a second end, and a sidewall extending therebetween, the sidewall having an exterior surface and an interior surface, the interior surface of the sidewall having a first projecting element; and a second medical device component having a first connection channel, a first disconnection channel, and a first securement element disposed between the first connection channel and the first disconnection channel, the first connection channel distinct from the first disconnection channel, wherein with the first projecting element of the first medical device component received within the first connection channel of the second medical device component, the first connection channel guides the first projecting element to the first securement element, wherein with the first projecting element engaged with the first securement element, the first medical device component is secured to the second medical device component, and wherein with the first projecting element of the first medical device component received within the first disconnection channel of the second medical device component, the first disconnection channel guides the first projecting element from the first disconnection channel thereby disengaging the first medical device component from the second medical device component.
