Abstract
A disinfecting connector of a dialysis system, including: a disinfecting chamber positioned within an internal lumen of the disinfecting connector, including: at least one barrier between the internal lumen and a tube connected to the disinfecting connector; a disinfecting material that is approved for usage inside the body; wherein penetration of a second connector through the at least one barrier causes or allows flow of said disinfecting material into the second connector in an amount and surface coverage sufficient disinfects a flow path between the second connector and the tube.
Claims8
A dialysis device comprising:
- a disinfecting connector comprising a disinfecting chamber filled with a disinfecting material approved for usage inside a patient body, and positioned within an internal lumen of the disinfecting connector, wherein the disinfecting chamber includes:
- a proximal barrier positioned at one end of the disinfecting chamber;
- and
- a distal barrier positioned at an opposing end of the disinfecting chamber;
- wherein the dialysis device, which is configured for use with a second connector having an inner lumen, further comprises:
- an actuator configured to push, when activated, the disinfecting connector against the second connector so that an end of the second connector opens said distal barrier and said proximal barrier to create a flow path between the inner lumen of said second connector and the internal lumen of said disinfecting connector for releasing disinfecting material from the disinfecting chamber into the flow path.
