Abstract
A locking connector assembly is provided for use with Y-sites and/or other infusion line fittings. The connector assembly includes a shrouded connector including a cannula. A retention clip having a pair of prongs is provided. When the shrouded connector is installed on a Y-site or other fitting, and the retention clip is in the locking configuration, the prongs of the retention clip extend through a pair of opposing through-slots in the shroud to cooperatively engage a surface irregularity on the Y-site or other fitting thereby preventing disengagement of the shrouded connector from the Y-site or other fitting.
