Abstract
A tubing system is provided with a suction tubing and a liquid tubing, wherein the suction tubing and liquid tubing each have first and second ends, and comprise a unitary tube structure. The system includes a first connector that has a first portion for coupling to a pressure source and the suction tubing, and a second portion for coupling to a collection bottle and the liquid tubing. The system also includes a second connector that has a first portion coupled to a suction port of an interface and the suction tubing, and a second portion coupled to a liquid collecting port of the interface and the liquid tubing.
Claims16
A tubing system comprising:
- a suction tubing and a liquid tubing, wherein the suction tubing and liquid tubing each have first and second ends;
- a first connector, having a first portion for fluidly coupling to both a suction source and the first end of the suction tubing, and a second portion for fluidly coupling to both a liquid collection bottle and the first end of the liquid tubing;
- and
- a second connector, having a first portion for fluidly coupling to both a suction port of a sealing interface and the second end of the suction tubing, and a second portion for fluidly coupling to both a liquid collecting port of the sealing interface and the second end of the liquid tubing;
- wherein the first portion of the second connector comprises an equalization check valve to prevent buildup of excess pressure in the sealing interface.
A breast pump tubing system comprising:
- a breast pump and a suction tubing and a liquid tubing, wherein the suction tubing and the liquid tubing each have first and second ends, and wherein the suction tubing and the liquid tubing are side-by-side;
- a first connector, having a first portion for fluidly coupling to both the breast pump and the first end of the suction tubing, and a second portion for fluidly coupling to both a liquid collection bottle and the first end of the liquid tubing;
- and
- a second connector, having a first portion for fluidly coupling to both a suction port of a breast shield and the second end of the suction tubing, and a second portion for fluidly coupling to both a liquid collecting port of the breast shield and the second end of the liquid tubing;
- wherein the first portion of the second connector comprises an equalization check valve to prevent buildup of excess pressure in the breast shield.
A breast pump tubing system comprising:
- a breast pump and a suction tubing and a liquid tubing, wherein the suction tubing and the liquid tubing each have first and second ends, and wherein the suction tubing and the liquid tubing are side-by-side;
- a first connector, having a first portion for fluidly coupling to both the breast pump and the first end of the suction tubing, and a second portion for fluidly coupling to both a liquid collection bottle and the first end of the liquid tubing;
- and
- a second connector, having a first portion for fluidly coupling to both a suction port of a breast shield and the second end of the suction tubing, and a second portion for fluidly coupling to both a liquid collecting port of the breast shield and the second end of the liquid tubing;
- wherein the first connector is configured to fluidly couple to the breast pump through a filter;
- wherein the first portion of the first connector is configured to be removably coupled to the breast pump, and the second portion of the first connector is configured to be removably coupled to the liquid collection bottle;
- and
- wherein the first portion of the second connector comprises an equalization check valve to prevent buildup of excess pressure in the sealing interface.
