System, method and apparatus for connecting connectors for medical devices

Abstract

A power management system, method, and apparatus for a medical device connection center are described. An example of a docking apparatus for an infusion pump in a central connectivity station includes a housing and a device connector assembly. The device connector assembly includes a mounting bracket fixed to an inner surface of the housing, forming a mounting cavity between the mounting bracket and the housing. The device connector assembly also includes a device connector to provide an electrical connection between the docking apparatus and a medical device, where the device connector is located in the mounting cavity. The device connector assembly also includes a spring located in the mounting cavity between a flange surface of the mounting bracket and a rear surface of the device connector.The spring is deformable during the connection of the medical device to the device connector to allow movement of the device connector within the mounting cavity.
