Patent ID: 8080001

Claim:
A fluid connection assembly, comprising: at least one fluid connector; a mating mechanism coupled to the at least one fluid connector and configured to connect the at least one fluid connector to a powered medical fluid injection device that is external to the fluid connection assembly, wherein the mating mechanism comprises a guide-rod channel that is configured to receive a guide rod of the powered medical fluid injection device when connecting the at least one fluid connector to the powered medical fluid injection device; and a locking mechanism coupled to the mating mechanism and rotatable into a locked position or an unlocked position, wherein the locking mechanism becomes affirmatively coupled to the guide rod of the powered medical fluid injection device when the locking mechanism is rotated into the locked position, such that fluid may be injected from the powered medical fluid injection device into the fluid connection assembly via the at least one fluid connector, and wherein the locking mechanism becomes removably decoupled from the guide rod of the powered medical fluid injection device when the locking mechanism is rotated into the unlocked position.
