Patent ID: 8608730

Claim:
A thermal treatment medical system, comprising: an umbilical having a first portion sized to receive a second portion, wherein the second portion is a medical catheter; and a connector including a first coupling member connected to the first portion and including a protuberance, the first coupling member having a first central longitudinal axis and a first electrical connector, a second coupling member connected to the second portion, the second coupling member defining a slot on its outer surface sized to receive the protuberance and a second electrical connector matable with the first electrical connector, the second coupling member having a second central longitudinal axis coincident with the first central longitudinal axis, the second coupling member being insertable into the first coupling member to define first, second, and third fluid flow pathways, the first fluid flow pathway being coincident with the first central longitudinal axis, the second fluid flow pathway being co-axially disposed around the first fluid flow pathway, the third fluid flow pathway being co-axially disposed about the central longitudinal axis, the third fluid flow pathway being circumferentially disposed about the second fluid flow pathway; a pressure sensor coupled to the umbilical and in fluid communication with at least one of the first and second fluid pathways; and a means for releasably securing the coupling of the first and second coupling members.
