Estimating the term…
A combined arterial and venous blood tubing set is provided for transport of blood between a patient and a blood processing unit. The set comprises an arterial set component comprising arterial tubing having an arterial patient connector at one end and an arterial unit connector at the other. A venous set component has venous tubing with a venous patient connector at one end and a venous unit connector at the other end. The arterial and venous patient connectors, and the arterial and venous unit connectors, are respectively, substantially, and releasably directly connected to each other. As a result of this, the arterial, and venous set components cooperate to form a loop. Other features of improved sets are also disclosed.
A combined arterial and venous blood tubing set for transport of blood between a patient and a blood processing unit, said set comprising an arterial set component comprising arterial tubing having an arterial patient connector at one end and an arterial unit connector at the other end;
A combined arterial and venous blood tubing set for transport of blood between a patient and a blood processing unit, said set comprising an arterial component and a venous component each having a connector on at least one end thereof, the respective connectors being directly connected to each other with a frangible seal to permit fluid flow between said arterial component and said venous component through said sealed connectors, to permit breaking apart of said connectors after set priming for further connection.
A protector for a female luer connector, which comprises:
A set for the transport of blood between a patient and a blood processing unit, said set comprising a first length of flexible tubing having a connector and a second length of flexible tubing having a connector, the respective connectors being substantially and releasably directly connectable to each other with a frangible seal, to permit breaking apart after set priming for subsequent further connection.
A tubing set for connection to a medical device comprising:
A breakapart connector for connecting tubing to a medical apparatus, said connector comprising a first connector end connectable to a first tubing segment and a second connector end connectable to a second tubing segment said first and second connector ends being integrally connected to each other and a weakened area between the first and second connector ends whereby the weakened area can be broken for disconnection of the first and second connector ends from each other so that each respective connector end may be connected to a medical apparatus;
A method for separating two tubing segments connected to each other by a connector having a weakened area for connection of each tubing segment to a medical apparatus the method comprising:
A method for separating two tubing segments connected to each other by a connector having a weakened area for connection of each tubing segment to a medical apparatus the method comprising:
A method for separating two tubing segments connected to each other by a connector having a weakened area for connection of each tubing segment to a medical apparatus, the method comprising:
