Abstract
An adaptor for connecting a medical container to a connector, the adaptor including longitudinal projections including a distal portion configured to exert a progressively increasing radial pressure on connecting means of the connector when said connector is moved axially proximally within the adaptor and a proximal portion configured to authorize the partial release of said pressure as the connector is moved further proximally, said proximal portion being further configured to be contacted by said connecting means upon said partial release of said pressure and to emit a sound when contacted by said connecting means, thereby providing an end user with a tactile and audible indication that the connection between the connector and the adaptor is secured. The disclosure also relates to a medical container having such an adaptor mounted onto its distal tip.
