ABSTRACT:
A connection system for respirator or anesthesia units with a Y-piece including an inhalation hose socket, an exhalation hose socket and a connector attachment piece as well as a tubular connector, connectable with the connector attachment piece, having a tube attachment for an endotracheal tube at one end, and at its opposite end a continuous annular groove in its exterior circumference, the connector attachment piece including a spring biased fastening member provided transversely to the longitudinal axis of the connector attachment piece for elastically engaging the annular groove under spring action. The connection system further includes a hand-operable unfastening mechanism for overriding the spring action of the fastening member, and the fastening member includes a lever having inner and outer arms, a pivot and a spring-loading member for the outer arm. The connector attachment piece includes a slot extending through its sidewall to receive the lever which is positioned in the slot so that at least a portion of the inner lever arm extends into the lumen of the connector attachment piece. The pivot extends through the slot with the lever being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connector attachment piece. A spring element interposed between the connector attachment piece and the outer arm biases the lever inner arm into engagement with the annular groove.
