Problems solved by technology

[0006] Since many patients self-administer fully continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) treatment, handling sterile connections often causes contamination of the system when the sterilization method is too complicated or inconvenient for the patient
If there is a rupture in the sterile connection system, a contamination-free system is not possible and the entire system or at least the contaminated components must be replaced, thereby increasing the potential complexity and cost of treatment

Embodiment Construction

[0047] The present invention provides a connection system including a sterile system for use in any system requiring connection, eg, connecting a first length of tubing or other tubing to a second length of tubing or other tubing, such as for peritoneal dialysis. The present invention is designed to provide a non-contaminating, safe and easy-to-use connection and disinfection system for the user / patient. To this end, the present invention provides a disinfection system for use in a connection system.

[0048] Although in a preferred embodiment the method of the present invention is used in peritoneal dialysis, it should be understood that the system and method of the present invention can be used in a variety of other applications.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the invention, the disinfection system comprises at least one ring, which may be composed of a first part without absorbent properties and a second part with absorbent properties. In a preferred embodiment, t...

Abstract

A connector assembly and disinfectant system is provided for any system requiring a connection, such as during a peritoneal dialysis procedure. The connector assembly includes a transfer set connector and a disposable connector. The transfer set connector and disposable connector each include a member that joins to create a fluid path. The disposable connector contains a housing that includes a ring partially saturated with disinfectant for bathing the transfer set member near the opening of the fluid path when a connection is made. The ring forms an opening through which the transfer set member passes. At disconnection, the transfer set member passes through a section of the ring having wiping properties to wipe the member dry.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to connection systems and methods for peritoneal dialysis. More particularly, the present invention relates to a connection system for peritoneal dialysis, which system has a sterilization system available for disinfection at the connection without additional effort or difficulty. Background technique [0002] In peritoneal dialysis, dialysate is drawn from a dialysate source, eg, a bag, and passed through an external catheter into a peritoneal catheter inserted in the patient's peritoneal cavity. The connector that connects the outer catheter to the peritoneal catheter is subject to multiple connections and removals. Equally important to the use of a peritoneal dialysis connection to treat patients with renal disease is an efficient means of sterilizing the connection. [0003] Methods for disinfection include soaking in povidone-iodine, povidone-iodine or other messy disinfectant solutions. Such a system req...
