Lock Connection Device for Medical Fluid Lines

摘要

Described is a lock connection device for medical fluid lines comprising a first connector for coupling a first medical fluid line and a second connector for coupling a second medical fluid line, wherein both connectors are adapted for releasable attachment to each other. The device comprises a first closing member adapted to be releasably attached to the first connector so as to close it, and a second closing member adapted to be releasably attached to the second connector so as to close it. The first and second closing members are configured to attach to each other. If the first closing member is attached to the first connector and the second closing member is attached to the first closing member and the second connector, the first closing member can be detached from the first connector wherein the second closing member remains attached to the first closing member and the second connector.

主权项

1. A lock connection device for medical fluid lines, comprising:
a first connector including a first coupling means for coupling a first medical fluid line, a first engaging portion having a first opening, and a passageway extending from the first coupling means to the first opening so as to provide a fluid communication between the first opening and the first medical fluid line when coupled to the first coupling means; a second connector including a second coupling means for coupling a second medical fluid line, a second engaging portion having a second opening and adapted to cooperate with the first engaging portion for a releasable attachment of the second connector to the first connector with the second opening communicating with the first opening, a second passageway extending from the second opening to the second coupling means so as to provide a fluid communication between the second opening and the second medical fluid line when coupled to the second coupling means, and first engaging means; a first closing member adapted to be releasably attached to the first connector so as to close the first opening; and a second closing member adapted to be releasably attached to the second connector so as to close the second opening and comprising second engaging means adapted to cooperate with the first engaging means for attaching the second closing member to the second connector, wherein the first closing member further comprises third engaging means, wherein the second closing member further comprises fourth engaging means adapted to cooperate with the third engaging means for attaching the second closing member to the first closing member, and wherein the first to fourth engaging means are adapted so that, in case the first closing member is attached to the first connector and the second closing member is attached to the first closing member and the second connector, the first closing member can be detached from the first connector wherein the second closing member remains attached to the first closing member and the second connector.
