Abstract: A medical connector can include a threaded connection fitting configured to couple to a medical implement by rotation of the medical implement in a tightening direction relative to the threaded connection fitting. The threaded connection fitting can include one or more first engagement features. The connector can have a fluid pathway for transferring fluid through the device and a rotation mechanism. The rotation mechanism permits the threaded connection fitting to rotate in a loosening direction relative to the housing, such as to impede unintended disconnection of the medical implement from the threaded connection fitting. In some cases, the connector can have a disengaged configuration that permits the threaded connection fitting to rotate relative to the housing in the tightening direction and in the loosening direction.

Abstract: A fluid transfer device can include a first attachment portion configured to engage a first port of a source container and a second attachment portion configured to engage a second port of an intermediate container. The first attachment portion can include a first projection defining a first fluid passage and the second attachment portion can include a second projection defining a second fluid passage. The fluid transfer device can further include a selector portion for selectively transitioning the fluid transfer device from a first configuration in which a flow path between the first and second fluid passages is closed to a second configuration in which the flow path between the first and second fluid passages is open. The fluid transfer device can further include a limiter configured to inhibit the selector portion from selectively transitioning the fluid transfer device from the first configuration to the second configuration.

Abstract: An example of an electronic medical fluid transfer device can comprise a fluid transfer module with a multidirectional flow control valve and an intermediate container or pumping region, a sensor configured to detect whether at least one of a vacuum or gas is present in the fluid transfer module, a first electromechanical driver configured to interface with and control the multidirectional flow control valve on the fluid transfer module, a second electromechanical driver configured to be mechanically linked to and control the intermediate container or pumping region according to an operational parameter, and one or more computer processors configured to communicate electronically with the sensor and the first and second electromechanical drivers to determine the operational parameter based on a flow characteristic of medical fluid to be transferred and adjust the operational parameter based on output of the sensor.

Abstract: A breakaway medical connector can include a housing with engagement features that interface with corresponding engagement features on a breakaway member so that the breakaway is attached to the housing. A second connector can couple to the breakaway member to provide a fluid connection between the first connector and the second connector. If a force above a threshold is applied that pulls the second connector apart from the breakaway connector, the engagement features can be overcome and the breakaway member can detach from the housing. The second connector can detach from the first connector along with the breakaway member. The connector can have a valve that closes the fluid pathway upon the separation of the breakaway member from the housing. In some embodiments, the breakaway member can be reattached to the housing, such as to reestablish fluid communication between the breakaway medical connector and the second medical connector.

Abstract: A priming cap includes a conduit housing and a resilient member. The conduit housing further includes an upper housing, a lower housing coupled to the upper housing, a fluid passageway extending through the upper housing and the lower housing; and a plug positioned within the upper housing. The conduit housing can define a valve activation member configured to open and close a medical connector. The resilient member can include a retaining feature to secure the priming cap to the medical connector.
