Claim:
1. An apparatus for limiting fluid pressure in a medical catheter retention balloon designed for use with a source of pressurized fluid having a connector associated therewith, wherein the medical catheter retention balloon has a supply fluid path from the apparatus for filling the medical catheter retention balloon and a return fluid path communicating with the medical catheter retention balloon connected to the apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a body with a fluid inlet port for receiving the connector associated with the pressurized fluid source and a fluid outlet port; a first passage connecting said fluid inlet port and the fluid outlet port of said body; a second passage comprising a first portion connected to said return fluid path and a second portion that is fluidically separated from the first portion, the first passage and the second passage being fluidically separated from each other; and a fluid flow preventer that prevents fluid flow through said first passage when the fluid pressure in said second passage exceeds a predetermined level.
