ABSTRACT:
A tubing connector (100) having a body (132) that has a first end (134) having a first opening (138) and a second end (136) having a second opening (140). A passageway (142) extends through the body between the first opening and the second opening. A side opening (144) includes a first side wall (146), an opposing second side wall (148) and a latch catch (150) disposed between the first and second side walls, and extends from the passageway (142) through the body (132) as a breach opening. The connector also has a clamping member (160), having a first clamping end (162) that is hingedly connected to the body (132) and a second clamping end (168) that is adapted to releasably engage the latch catch (150). A clamp portion (172) is disposed between the first clamping end (162) and the second clamping end (168), and protrudes into passageway (142) to compress closed a tubing, such as a catheter lumen, (112) extending through the tubing connector, when the clamping member (160) is in the closed position, and is releasable from the latch catch (150) and disengages from the catheter.
