Lockable exchangeable fluid connector and method

A method of fluidly connecting an access port with a catheter, comprising:

• providing a connector body coupled to the catheter, the connector body including
• a locking mechanism comprising:
• a first lever arm rotatably coupled to the connector body;
• and
• a second lever arm rotatably coupled to the first lever arm;
• coupling a first end of the second lever arm to the access port;
• and
• transitioning the first lever arm from an unlocked position to a locked position, wherein the first lever arm and the second lever arm are oblique to a longitudinal axis of the connector body in the unlocked position, and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connector body in the locked position.

A fluid connector system, comprising:

• a connector body;
• and
• a locking mechanism coupled to the connector body and designed to transition between an unlocked position and a locked position, the locking mechanism comprising:
• a first lever arm rotatably coupled to the connector body, wherein the first lever arm comprises a first securement aperture;
• a second lever arm rotatably coupled to the first lever arm, wherein the second lever arm includes a second securement aperture, and wherein the first lever arm and the second lever arm are oblique to a longitudinal axis of the connector body in the unlocked position, and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connector body in the locked position;
• and
• a securement arm rotatably coupled to the second lever arm, wherein the securement arm includes a protrusion configured to extend through the first securement aperture and the second securement aperture to place the locking mechanism in the locked position.
