    Abstract: A single-use connector configured to be removably connected to a reusable connector includes a hollow, tubular housing having an open proximal side opposite a distal side along a longitudinal length of the housing and at least one guard member connected to the tubular housing. The at least one guard member is configured to transition between an open position, in which the single-use connector can be connected to the reusable connector, and a closed position in which the guard member prevents the single-use connector from being connected to the reusable connector. Disconnecting the single-use connector from the reusable connector causes the at least one guard member to transition from the open position to the closed position. A single-use disposable set (SUDS) including a single-use connector and at least use guard member for preventing reconnection of the connector to a reusable connector or fluid port is also disclosed.
