  • Publication number: 20090029227
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for securing a cartridge. A cartridge may contain a fluid processing component such as a fluid filtration component, a fluid generation component, a fluid consumption component, or a fluid containment. The cartridge has a cartridge interface. An interface fluid outlet port is disposed on the cartridge interface. The interface fluid outlet port is in fluid communication with an interior of the cartridge. The interface fluid outlet port is configured to mate with a receiver fluid inlet port of a cartridge receiver. A biasing member applies a biasing force that presses the interface fluid outlet port against the receiver fluid inlet port. The biasing force removably secures the cartridge to the cartridge receiver.
