Abstract
A fluid connector assembly can be provided that permits ease of connection, secure connection with a fluid connector, and a safety release mechanism that enables the fluid connector assembly to safely disengage from the fluid connector. The fluid connector assembly can include a post and a hub that is slidably coupled to the post. When disconnected from the fluid connector, the hub can be locked or fixed at a lockout position, which can tend to prevent reconnection or reuse of the hub, thereby facilitating safe and sanitary medical practices.
