Abstract:
A connector for connecting a pressure sensing catheter to charger is provided. The connector can include a first engagement portion engageable with a charger engagement portion of the charger to displace a pressure transmission medium in the charger engagement portion to charge one or more balloons of the pressure sensing catheter. The connector can have a handle that includes a tab terminating in an end surface engageable with an engagement surface of the charger when the first engagement portion engages with the charger engagement portion. The connector includes a distal abutment portion that engages with a portion of the charger engagement portion to provide an audible or tactile feedback, so as to prevent inadvertent overcharging of the balloons.

Claim (Index 25):
A connector for connecting a pressure sensing catheter to a charger and displacing a pressure transmission medium to charge one or more balloons of the pressure sensing catheter, the connector comprising:\n a body having a lumen configured to fluidly connect to a catheter lumen of the pressure sensing catheter for transmitting the displaced pressure transmission medium; a first engagement portion at the body, the first engagement portion terminating at a proximal end portion, the first engagement portion comprising a distal abutment portion spaced from the proximal end portion along a longitudinal axis of the connector and a resilient seal between the proximal end portion and the distal abutment portion, the first engagement portion configured to engage with a charger engagement portion of the charger and displace the pressure transmission medium present in the charger engagement portion to charge the one or more balloons, the resilient seal configured to move relative to the body during engagement of the first engagement portion at the charger engagement portion; a handle at the body, the handle terminating in a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the first end having a tab terminating in an end surface, the end surface of the tab configured to engage an engagement surface of the charger when the first engagement portion engages with the charger engagement portion, the end surface of the tab configured to engage the engagement surface of the charger to provide audible and/or tactile feedback indicating proper engagement between the connector and the charger, and the second end configured to depress relative to the body and thereby permit disengagement of the first engagement portion from the charger engagement portion to thereby disengage the pressure sensing catheter and the charger.
