1. A system, comprising:

  • an intragastric device including an inflatable balloon, a proximal cap having a flanged section, and an inflation port at a proximal portion of the intragastric device; and

    an inflation device comprising—

    an outer detent at a distal portion of the inflation device configured to connect over the proximal cap of the intragastric device;

    an inner detent having a mating interface; and

    at least one tube fluidly connecting a handle at a proximal portion of the inflation device to a barb at the distal portion of the inflation device, the barb having a cross-sectional dimension greater than a cross-sectional dimension of the inflation port of the intragastric device when the inflation port is unengaged from the barb, wherein the barb is configured to expand the proximal cap when the barb is inserted into the inflation port such that the flanged section of the proximal cap expands into the outer detent.
