Abstract
An adaptor system for a syringe that has a fluid carrying body. In a preferred embodiment, the adaptor system comprises a syringe fitting that has a hollow element protruding therefrom and is attachable to the syringe such that the hollow element is in fluid communication with the fluid carrying body. The system also includes an adaptor member that has a port adapted to receive the hollow element of the syringe fitting in fluid-tight engagement. The adaptor member is provided with at least one protrusion that is adapted to be received in a corresponding T-shaped slot formed in the syringe fitting. When the protrusions are aligned with their corresponding T-shaped slot, the hollow element may be axially inserted into the adaptor port to establish the fluid-tight seal and be selectively rotated in two radial directions relative to the syringe fitting while maintaining a fluid-tight seal therebetween.
