1. A modular catheterization system for placing a catheter in parallel flow communication with a medical line and a sensor, the system comprising:
- a first anchor pad;
a housing being supported by the first anchor pad and having a receiving area configured to receive at least a portion of the sensor;
a second anchor pad; and
a retainer being supported by the second anchor pad and having a central body, a first tubular body, and a second tubular body, the central body having a proximal end configured to receive the catheter in a fluid-tight manner, the first tubular body and the central body forming a first luminal path between the catheter and the medical line, and the second tubular body and the central body forming a second luminal path between the catheter and the sensor.

Abstract
A modular catheterization system includes a catheter retainer having an integral y-site lumen, and a secondary retainer for retaining an additional component in close proximity to the catheterization system. The y-site lumen comprises two fluid paths, where fluid flow through one of the paths is obstructed when no additional component is integrated into the catheterization system.

10. A catheterization system for co-locating a sensor and a catheter in close proximity on a patient, the system comprising:
-
a first anchor; a first retainer being supported by the first anchor and having a receptacle, a manifold, a first conduit, and a second conduit, the receptacle being configured to receive at least a portion of the catheter, the first and second conduits being in fluidic communication with the manifold; a second anchor having a size and a shape so as to be located proximate to the first anchor; and a second retainer being supported by the second anchor and having a receiving area configured to receive at least a portion of the sensor. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A modular catheterization system for allowing vascular access via an existing indwelling device, the system comprising:
-
a sensor housing disposed on a first anchor pad, wherein the sensor housing comprises a channel configured to retain a portion of a sensor; a catheter retainer disposed on a second anchor pad, said catheter retainer comprising; a central body comprising a first end, wherein the first end is configured to be secured to and placed in fluid communication with a distal end of a catheter via an aperture extending through said first end; a first tubular body extending outward from said central body and comprising a second aperture, wherein a first luminal path extends through the first tubular body from the second aperture to the first aperture; a second tubular body extending outward from said central body and comprising a third aperture, wherein a second luminal path extends through the second tubular body from the third aperture to the first aperture; and an obstructing member positioned along the second luminal path so as to inhibit fluid flow along the second luminal path without inhibiting fluid flow along the first luminal path; and a sensor comprising a body portion configured to be retained within the sensor housing, and an outwardly extending member having a proximal end configured to enter said third aperture and interact with the obstructing member to permit passage of said proximal end beyond the obstructing member; said first and second anchor pads being configured to permit co-location of the sensor housing and catheter retainer. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
