Catheter adapter assembly and system

A catheter adapter system, comprising:

• a catheter adapter assembly comprising:
• an adapter body having proximal and distal ends, the adapter body comprising:
• the distal end portion configured to receive a catheter;
• a coupling disposed on the distal end portion;
• and
• a fitting on the proximal end portion configured to connect to a fluid line;
• a slider body disposed about the adapter body and configured to axially slide relative to the adapter body, the slider body comprising:
• a release comprising a latch disposed at a distal end of the release and a flexing portion disposed at a proximal end of the release, the latch being configured to engage the coupling of the adapter body to prevent axial movement of the slider body relative to the adapter body;
• and
• a compression element configured to compress the catheter to hold the catheter in the adapter body in response to engagement of the latch of the slider body and the coupling of the adapter body,
• a nest including:
• a base;
• and
• a receiver configured to receive the catheter adapter assembly on a top side of the base.
