Medical Connector Capabilities
Connectors can be simple to use and are sometimes compatible with a variety of different medical devices. In some cases, users may connect one unrelated system to another. However, if done incorrectly, this could cause medications or other fluids to be sent through wrong tubing and into incorrect areas of a patient's body. Errors like these are referred to as tubing misconnections or wrong route errors. If you are unsure how to configure a medical connector, Amphenol Alden is here to help. We take the guesswork out of ordering medical device components, cables, or parts, and you will never have to worry about attaching the wrong parts and components - avoiding any misconnections affecting medical devices, entirely.
