Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sideport connector for use in conjunction with standard catheterization systems and components, and, more particularly, to a connection system which provides secure connections at such sideport locations with respect to septum-type connectors.
  • IV catheters intravenous catheters
  • a supply fluid is maintained in a container which is located at a height higher than the patient.
  • the catheter tubing flows from the supply container to the location of introduction (or "injection site") into the patient where it is attached to a catheter extending into the vein of the patient.
  • This location is typically the back of the patient's hand or a vein on the inside of the arm.
  • a needle or other stylet is first introduced to the cannula portion of the catheter and then into the skin of the patient at the desired location. The needle is then removed, leaving the cannula in place in the vein.
  • the fluid then flows directly into the blood vessel of the patient by gravity and/or by the pressure generated by the head of the fluid above the height of the patient.
  • a single fluid supply line is established by means of such IV catheterization.
  • a second fluid into the bloodstream of the patient or to administer to the patient smaller doses of medication by means of manual injection.
  • the established IV line is usually provided with a Y-shaped connector, frequently termed a "sideport.”
  • a second fluid can be merged with the first fluid by connecting the tubing of the second container at the sideport so that the two fluids mix together as they are introduced into the bloodstream of the patient through the single, downstream IV tubing.
  • manual injections can be administered at the sideport location in order to avoid the pain and discomfort of an injection directly into the patient.
  • the connection at the sideport can be one of a variety of standard type connectors such as a luer-type or septum cap connector.
  • One advantage of the septum cap is that it permits both types of sideport connections, e.g., a second IV fluid or manual injections.
  • the septum cap connector also commonly referred to as a "heparin lock” or “buff cap" is comprised of a cylindrical tube which extends from a Y-shaped connector in the main IV line. The open end of the tube is provided with a rubber septum cap which is stretched over the tube or inserted within it to completely cover the opening.
  • a beveled needle which can either be attached to the end of an IV line or to a manual injection device, is inserted through the rubber material of the septum and into the lumen on the other side of the septum in order to permit the confluence of fluid into the main IV line.
  • the rubber material of the septum cap is self-sealing in that the puncture area is automatically closed.
  • the septum cap advantageously provides rapid access for injections or secondary IV attachments.
  • the top surface of the septum can be easily cleaned and sterilized.
  • connection has several advantages, it also presents a few problems.
  • the mechanical security of the connection is poor.
  • the needle simply is securely retained by the thin rubber sheet forming the septum cap.
  • Patients receiving this type of IV therapy are often ambulatory thus increasing the degree of movement and motion of the IV tubing and the risk of accidental disconnection.
  • long-term infusion is becoming more prevalent, again increasing the risk of disconnection.
  • the present invention provides a sideport connector with a mechanism for securely and compatibly engaging standard connectors, such as septum cap connectors.
  • the invention is comprised of an adaptor having a tubular body mounted on the distal end of standard IV tubing. Extending di ⁇ tally from the adaptor body is a standard IV needle for insertion into the septum cap.
  • Mounted on the adaptor body is an arm including a housing through which a clip is slidably engaged.
  • the clip includes a forward latch or collar portion which, upon connection at the sideport, engages the septum cap about the circumference thereof to securely maintain the connection.
  • the clip is provided with a ratcheted surface which is engaged by a pawl mounted in the housing of the adaptor body.
  • the ratchet-pawl assembly permits the clip to slidably engage the septum cap in order to tighten and secure the sideport connection, but prevents movement in the opposite direction.
  • the latch or collar end of the clip is configured so as to accommodate a wide variety of dimensions and configurations of septum-type connectors as well as other standard types of connectors.
  • the adaptor body is also provided with a partially cylindrical shield extending distally from the body and partially surrounding the needle so as to prevent accidental self-injection.
  • the shield also inhibits contamination at the connection site.
  • the needle of the adaptor when disengaged from the septum cap, can be protected by a needle cap which completely surrounds the needle.
  • the needle cap is provided with a finger grip to advantageously facilitate capping and decapping.
  • the connector of the present invention is mounted on the distal end of the IV tubing. In another embodiment,- the clip assembly is mounted on the Y-shaped sideport connector.
  • the present invention provides a simple and inexpensive solution to the problems arising with relation to IV connections at sideport ⁇ .
  • the connector of the present invention is compatible with standard connections, and the expense and inconvenience of matching, two-piece custom connectors is avoided.

  • the sideport 22 is provided with a septum cap 26 which is comprised of a rubber cap stretched tightly over the end of the tubular branch 24.
  • the secondary IV line 18 is provided with a beveled needle 28 at its distal end which is then inserted through the septum cap 26 so that the secondary fluid converges with the primary fluid and subsequently flows into the bloodstream of the patient. Obviously, under modern IV conditions, the security of this connection is extremely doubtful.
  • the sideport connector of the present invention provides a secure means of sideport connection which is compatible with standard connectors, including the type illustrated in FIGURE 2.
  • FIGURE 3 there is shown an adaptor 30 of the present invention mounted on the distal end of a standard IV tubing 18.
  • the adaptor 30 is comprised of a tubular body 32 having a standard IV needle 28 extending distally therefrom. Extending approximately transversely from the body is an arm 34 which terminates in a pawl housing 36. Extending through the pawl housing 36 is a slidable clip 38 having a surface 40 which is beveled or ratcheted as shown. The clip terminates in a U-shaped or horseshoe-shaped collar 42 for secure engagement with the septum cap 26, as explained in more detail below in connection with FIGURE 4.
  • the clip 38 is initially assembled in the pawl housing 36 in an extended position with respect to the body 32.
  • a standard pawl 44 is mounted in the pawl housing 36 so as to engage the ratcheted surface 40 of the clip 38.
  • the clip 38 is mounted for slidable movement in the pawl housing but only in a proximal direction, the pawl 44 preventing movement in the distal direction.
  • the adaptor body 32 is provided with a needle shield 46 which partially, substantially surrounds the needle 28, as shown in FIGURE 3. This shield 46 is mounted on the distal end of the body 32 and is provided with an upper opening 48 along one longitudinal surface thereof to prevent interference with the collar 42 of the clip.
  • This shield 46 extends distally so as to be slightly forward of the tip of the needle 28, thus serving to prevent accidental self- injection while the sideport connection is being completed.
  • the shield 46 substantially surrounds the needle 28 in the- range of about 160-220°; although, other shield configurations are within the scope of the present invention.
  • This shield also serves' * to inhibit contamination at the sideport connection site, as illustrated in more detail in FIGURE 4.
  • FIGURE 4 there is shown the connector 30 of the present invention after the sideport connection of FIGURE 3 is completed.
  • the shield 46 substantially surrounds the septum cap 26 in order to prevent contamination.
