Abstract
A disconnection apparatus (88) comprises two disconnect members (12,14) which are interfaced to define a continuous channel (28,29) extends therethrough, and two cylindrical cartridges (84,86) slidably disposed in the channel (28,29). The channel (28,29) intersects two flow paths (70,72) formed in the disconnect members (12,14). The cartridges (84,86) are positionable in the channel (28,29) to block both flow paths (70,72) and are operative to re-direct fluid in order to prevent leakage when the members (12,14) are disconnected.
