Abstract:
1. A patient fluid transfer device comprising: a connector including a tube receiving end; a clamp front abutting the connector and including a clamp back including wherein the extension and the deformable tab of the clamp front are fitted between the first and second halves of the clamp back such that the transverse opening of the clamp front is aligned with the first half transverse opening and the second half transverse opening; and first and second rings fitted into the first half transverse opening and the second half transverse opening, respectively, forming a pivot about which the clamp front can rotate with respect to the clamp back (i) in a first direction such that an external tube is occluded between the occluding rib and the rod and the deformable tab is caught by the catch and (ii) in a second direction when the deformable tab is deformed so that the deformable tab is not caught by the catch, allowing the occluding rib to move away from the rod for opening the external tube.
