ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for administering dialysis including a breakable tubing coupling is provided wherein the tubing coupling is a hollow cylindrical element insertable into the lumens of distal and proximal sections of a fluid delivery tubing system, the breakable tubing coupling having a scored circumference on which the coupling can be broken and separated by application of a bending force. The breakable tubing coupling is suitable for medical applications including peritoneal dialysis tubing administration set utilization for administering fluid from fluid containers into a patient's peritoneal cavity through a peritoneal catheter and out of the peritoneal cavity and into a drain container wherein the tubing administration set having a tubing supply leg and a tubing drain leg requires means for separating the peritoneal catheter following dialysis at a predetermined location along the tubing path. The method and friable connector or breakable tubing coupling allows quick and reliable disconnection of the patient from the peritoneal dialysis tubing apparatus by eliminating the need for cutting separation of the fluid delivery line.
