Patent ID: 7857805

Claim:
A fluid carrying connector that is configured for mating with a mating fluid carrying connector, said fluid carrying connector comprising: a luer lock connector; at least one projection defined on, or extending from, a surface of said luer lock connector; and a shroud moveably positioned with respect to said luer lock connector, said shroud comprising at least one projection rotatably positionable with said at least one projection of said luer lock connector, wherein upon rotating the fluid carrying connector onto the mating connector by rotating the shroud in a rotational direction, said at least one projection of said shroud rotates said at least one projection of said luer lock connector in the rotational direction until the luer lock connector of the fluid carrying connector mates with the mating connector, and wherein, once the fluid carrying connector is mated with the mating connector, said at least one projection of said shroud is substantially incapable of rotating said at least one projection of said luer lock connector in an opposite rotational direction upon rotating the shroud in the opposite rotational direction, such that the fluid carrying connector is incapable of being unthreaded from the mating connector once mated.
