Claim 0:
1. A fluid transfer connector, comprising:
a body member couplable to a fluid transfer unit at a unit coupling portion, the body member being shaped to define a body lumen;
a fluid transfer conduit extending axially from the unit coupling portion into the body lumen, the fluid transfer conduit being configured to establish fluid communication with the fluid transfer unit when the fluid transfer unit is coupled to the unit coupling portion;
a sleeve arranged coaxially relative to the body member;
a fluid transfer connector septum mounted at a distal end of the sleeve, the sleeve and the body member being configured to move relative to each other between an extended position in which the fluid transfer connector septum is at an extended distance from the unit coupling portion and an intermediate position in which the fluid transfer connector septum is at an intermediate distance, smaller than the extended distance, from the unit coupling portion; and
a locking mechanism configured to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state to selectively enable and prevent the relative movement of the sleeve and the body member at the extended position and the intermediate position.
