A multifunctional transfer set having an access port is disclosed. The multifunctional transfer set facilitates the introduction of elongate members insertably/retractably and allows fluid flow therethrough without requiring detachment during use. The multifunctional transfer set has a transfer set body assembly connected to a Y-adapter with an access port and a longitudinal portion. A longitudinal axis extends through the transfer set body assembly and longitudinal portion of the Y-adapter and not through the access port. An extension sub-assembly is connected to the access port, the extension sub-assembly having branch tubing, a flow-control device, and a coupling assembly allows fluid flow therethrough into and out of the transfer set body assembly if the flow-control device is open and prevents fluid from flowing therethrough if the flow-control device is closed. An existing transfer set without intervening side access may be converted into a multifunctional transfer set with a shorter longitudinal length.
A multifunctional transfer set having enhanced capability to receive an elongate member insertably/retractably therethrough and allowing fluid to flow therethrough, the multifunctional transfer set comprising:
A method of converting an existing transfer set into a multifunctional transfer set with an access port, the existing transfer set having a transfer set hub assembly, intermediate tubing, a coupling assembly, and a twist clamp, the transfer set hub assembly having a core male luer and a hub body with tines and at least one bump stop, the core male luer having a hollow flange, the method of converting the existing transfer set into a multifunctional transfer set with an access port comprises the steps of:
The method of converting an existing transfer set into a multifunctional transfer set 14, wherein the steps of removing the tines from the hub body and removing any bump stop from the hub body are performed by precision cutting.
The method of converting an existing transfer set into a multifunctional transfer set 14, wherein the steps of attaching a coupler tubing to the hollow flange and attaching the intermediate tubing to the side port of the Y-adapter further comprises securing the attachment by selecting each securing step from the group consisting of applying a bonding solvent and applying an adhesive.
The method of converting an existing transfer set into a multifunctional transfer set 14, wherein the steps of attaching the luer connector to the transfer set body and attaching the Y-adapter to the transfer set body assembly further comprises securing the attachment by selecting each securing step from the group consisting of applying a bonding solvent, applying an adhesive, press fitting, and ultrasonic welding.
