Claim:
1. A connector for fluidly coupling a conduit and a manifold of a reduced-pressure treatment system, the connector comprising: a connector body having a cavity including a cavity aperture at a first end of the connector body; a conduit port extending from a second end of the connector body and configured to fluidly couple an end of a primary lumen of the conduit to the cavity and to fluidly couple an end of at least one secondary lumen to the connector body; a base extending from a peripheral portion of the connector body adjacent to the cavity aperture and configured to be positioned adjacent to a drape covering the manifold, wherein the cavity is configured to be fluidly coupled to the manifold through an aperture formed in the drape; and a sensing probe having a probe lumen, a proximal end configured to fluidly couple the at least one secondary lumen to the probe lumen, and a distal end extending to the cavity aperture, wherein the distal end is configured to be positioned adjacent to the manifold, the probe lumen configured to be pneumatically coupled to the manifold and fluidly isolated from direct pneumatic coupling with the cavity.
