Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device comprising a first connector including a first elongated hollow member configured to be positioned at least partially within a lumen of a proximal portion of a tube. The first connector provides a clamping force to the proximal portion of the tube. The device also includes a second connector configured to be removably coupled to the first connector. The second connector including a second elongated hollow member configured to be positioned at least partially within a lumen of a distal portion of the tube. The proximal portion of the tube is separated from the distal portion of the tube when the first connector is disconnected from the second connector, and the lumen of the proximal portion of the tube is fluidically connected with the lumen of the distal portion of the tube when the first connector is removably coupled to the second connector.

Abstract: Circuit test devices and methods are provided. The method includes measuring a voltage between first and second conductor points (CPs) of a circuit under test (CUT), and determining if the measured voltage is less than a low voltage threshold value (LVTV) indicative of electrical continuity (EC) between the first and second CPs. In response to determining that the measured voltage is less than the LVTV, the method includes: transmitting a test signal (TS) to the first or second CP, and determining if the test signal is received after being transmitted. In response to determining that the TS is received, a presence of EC between the first and second conductor points is reported, and in response to determining that the TS is not received, absence of EC between the first and second CPs, or a lack of electrical contact between the VMC and the first and/or second CP(s), is reported.
