  • Patent number: 9901726
    Abstract: A connector adapted to be detachably arranged in an opening of a housing of a medical device and including a connecting element to which a single-use article can be connected outside of the housing is disclosed. Via a hollow link portion the connecting element is connected to a coupling adapted to be inserted into the interior of the housing through the opening of the housing. Moreover, the connector includes a spring element adapted to be detachably arranged at the link portion so that the connector is supported at the housing to be axially resilient via the spring element. A medical device for extracorporeal blood treatment including such connector as an interface to a single-use article, for example, is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9410661
    Abstract: Holding devices for a medical device including a holder and a second component part by which the holder is coupled or adapted to be coupled are disclosed. The holder has a receiving portion into which a functional member can be detachably introduced. The holder further includes a pivot portion about which the holder is pivoted about an axis of rotation to a support of the second component part, wherein the support is movable vis-à-vis the second component part in a spring-loaded manner. The second component part includes a recess within which the pivot portion and the support are arranged so that upon pivoting the holder about the axis of rotation merely the receiving portion protrudes from the recess.
