First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fluid path set comprising:
- a multi-patient fluid path section adapted for fluid connection to at least one pressurizing device;
a per-patient fluid path section adapted for fluid connection with a patient and comprising at least one check valve; and
a connector for removably and fluidly connecting the multi-patient fluid path section with the per-patient fluid path section, the connector comprising;
a first connector member at a terminus of the multi-patient fluid path section comprising an outer housing member and a first luer member recessed within the outer housing member; and
a second connector member at a terminus of the per-patient fluid path section comprising a second threaded member and a second luer member recessed within the second threaded member, wherein the outer housing member and the second threaded member cooperate to securely and releasably connect the first connector member with the second connector member to establish removable fluid connection between the multi-patient fluid path section and the per-patient fluid path section.

13. A fluid path set comprising:
-
a multi-patient fluid path section adapted for fluid connection to at least one pressurizing device; a per-patient fluid path section adapted for fluid connection with a patient and comprising at least one check valve; and a connector for removably and fluidly connecting the multi-patient fluid path section with the per-patient fluid path section, the connector comprising; a first connector member at a terminus of the multi-patient fluid path section comprising an outer housing member and a first luer member recessed within the outer housing member; and a second connector member at a terminus of the per-patient fluid path section comprising a second threaded member and a second luer member recessed within the second threaded member, wherein the outer housing member and the second threaded member cooperate to securely and releasably connect the first connector member with the second connector member to establish removable fluid connection between the multi-patient fluid path section and the per-patient fluid path section, and wherein the first luer member and the second luer member are each recessed by a distance sufficient to prevent contact with a tip of the first luer member or the second luer member when a user touches a tip of the first connector member or a tip of the second connector member wherein the multi-patient fluid path section comprises a first fluid path adapted for fluid connection with a first pressurizing device and a second fluid path adapted for fluid connection with a second pressurizing device.

14. A method for preparing a fluid delivery system for association with a patient, the method comprising:
-
providing a fluid delivery system comprising a powered injector comprising at least one pressurizing device; connecting a proximal end of a multi-patient fluid path section to the at least one pressurizing device; removably connecting a proximal end of a per-patient fluid path section to the distal end of the multi-patient fluid path section by an anti-contamination connector to provide fluid communication therebetween, the per-patient fluid path section comprising at least one check valve; and connecting a distal end of the per-patient fluid path section to a patient to provide fluid communication between the at least one pressurizing device and a vasculature of the patient, wherein the anti-contamination connector comprises a first connector member at the distal end of the multi-patient fluid path section comprising an outer housing member and a first luer member recessed within the outer housing member; and a second connector member at the proximal end of the per-patient fluid path section comprising a second threaded member and a second luer member recessed within the second threaded member, wherein the outer housing member and the second threaded member cooperate to securely and releasably connect the first connector member with the second connector member to establish removable fluid connection between the multi-patient fluid path section and the per-patient fluid path section. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
