A connector system () for a medical application including a male single channel fluid connector (X) designed with an outer collar (M) arranged concentric with an inner tube () and extending beyond a center collar (M), and a female single channel fluid connector (Y) is designed with an outer collar (F) arranged concentric with a tube (), wherein the male single channel fluid connector (X) is interconnectable with the female single channel fluid connector (Y) to thereby form a fluid tight single channel connection for passage of fluid, and to a luer type female single channel fluid connector (YS), and wherein the female single channel fluid connector (Y) is interconnectable with a luer type male single channel fluid connector (XS). Also a system including a plurality of the connector systems is disclosed.

Connector system with a female connector and a male connector, and a system including a plurality of the connector systems

Systems for monitoring fluids such as blood being treated extracorporeally are disclosed, including a monitor for monitoring the fluid flow through a tube system between a fluid inlet, fluid treatment means and a fluid outlet. The monitor disclosed includes a monitor housing which contains at least one pressure sensor, and a cassette which is adapted to be removably coupled to the monitor housing, the cassette including pressure transmission ducts for transmitting the pressure within the tube system to a pressure transmitting cavity adapted to be juxtaposed with the pressure sensor when the cassette is coupled to the monitor housing so that the pressure within the tube system can be directly measured by the pressure sensor when the cassette is coupled to the monitor housing. In one embodiment of the monitor the cassette includes a portion of the tube system, while in another embodiment a conventional tube system can be affixed to the cassette.
