Patent ID: 8336573

Claim:
A fluid management system, comprising: a manifold body comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side surface, the manifold body defining a chamber, a plurality of ports formed through the side surface and communicating with the chamber; an adapter having a manifold engagement region comprising a sealing portion configured to sealingly engage one of the ports of the manifold body, the adapter having an axis that is generally aligned with an axis of the port when the adapter is engaged with the port, the adapter having a lock surface disposed proximal of the sealing portion and facing generally proximally; wherein each port of the manifold body comprises an outer wall having an outer wall aperture, and the adapter and port are configured so that when the sealing portion sealingly engages a port, the adapter lock surface is disposed distal of the port outer wall; a pocket defined on a side of the manifold body outer wall opposite the manifold body side face; and a locking member configured to removably fit into the pocket and to extend at least partially across the port so as to be interposed between the adapter lock surface and a plane of the manifold body outer wall; wherein the locking member is compressible between a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein when in the first configuration the locking member can be advanced along the port axis, through the outer wall aperture, and positioned within the pocket, and wherein when in the second configuration the locking member is at least partially relaxed and will not fit through the outer wall aperture.
