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.

Fluid flow conduits (14, 14a, 14b, 82, 110, 128, 138) are disclosed. Each conduit (14, 14a, 14b, 82, 110, 128, 138) has a polymeric open end that is sealed by a sealing member (26, 26a, 26b, 84, 102, 130, 140) that includes a heating element (28, 68). The polymeric end material is melted, the sealing members (26, 26a, 26b, 84, 102, 130, 140) are moved to expose the melted open ends of the conduits (14, 14a, 14b, 82, 110, 128, 138) and the ends are brought together to form a fused or welded connection between the conduits (14, 14a, 14b, 82, 110, 128, 138) .

An aseptic sampling system comprises sampler and interface assemblies. Each assembly comprises a housing defining separate sterile enclosures. An air lock provides aseptic joining of the enclosures within the sampler and interface assemblies, and a re-sealable liquid connection mechanism operates within the lock. The sampler and interface assemblies, when connected, form an outer protective surface comprising the housings of the sampler and interface assemblies, the protective surface providing a sterile internal enclosure and air lock and an air-tight barrier between outer non-sterile, and inner sterile, atmospheres. The connection mechanism, contained within the sterile enclosure, contains at least one liquid connector from each of the sampler and interface assemblies, configured such that at least one of the connectors moves across the enclosure and lock to connect with the other connector in the connection mechanism, without contacting internal surfaces within the lock, and the connectors can be re-sealed, disconnected and separated.

A shutoff valve for a fluid conduit connector has a housing and an integrally formed shutoff valve located within the housing. The integrally formed shutoff valve has a spring region that defines a lumen and a sealing feature on one or both ends. The spring region defines one or more fluid pathways between an outer surface and an inner surface of the integrally formed shutoff valve. The spring region may be a formed as a helical coil or a fenestrated tube. The sealing feature provides a fluid tight seal between the housing and the integrally formed shutoff valve

According to the invention, two tubes (11), (12) made from plastic material the ends (111), (121) of which are closed, may be butt-jointed by compression and welding or gluing of the tube wall, axial alignment and abutment of the two closed ends (111), (121) of the tubes (1 1),(12), remote non-contact heating of the two closed ends (1 11), (121) butting the tubes (11), (12) and axially bringing the two ends (111), (121) of the tubes (11), (12) together such as to swage and butt weld the ends (111), (121) of the tubes (11), (12), whilst maintaining said ends (111), (121) constantly abutted.
