Patent ID: 8777930

Claim:
In combination, a feeding line connector assembly and an adaptor for discriminating connection of an oral tip of a source of liquid enteral product to a feeding line and preventing sealed connection with a standard luer tip including a luer-lock sleeve, the feeding line connector assembly comprising: a primary section defining a main fluid passage; and a Y-port extending laterally outward from the primary section and defining an auxiliary fluid passage in fluid communication with the main fluid passage; and the adaptor comprising: a body having first and second open longitudinal ends; a connection port extending into the body from the first open end, the connection port being sized and shaped to sealingly receive an oral tip and to prevent sealing connection with the standard luer tip; a fluid outlet passage extending from the connection port inside the body to the second open end of the body; and an external stop surrounding the connection port generally adjacent to the first open end of the body, the external stop having a contact surface that is sized and shaped to prevent reception of the stop into a luer-lock sleeve of the standard luer tip so that the luer-lock sleeve generally abuts the external stop if the standard male luer tip is inserted into the connection port through the first open end, the external stop having a fluid release channel in fluid communication with the connection port extending generally radially through the external stop, the contact surface having a larger surface area than the projected area of the release channel in the plane of the contact surface; wherein the second open end of the adaptor is sized and shaped for sealed reception in the Y-port of the feeding line assembly; and wherein, in use, an outer surface of the body sealingly engages an inner surface of the Y-port.
