Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
The T-Connectors 014500/014501/014502/014503-120 are classified as Tubing, Fluid Delivery, designed to facilitate the connection and transition of fluid pathways in medical applications. These connectors feature a T-shaped junction, enabling the merging of two fluid lines into one or splitting a single line into multiple outlets, ensuring secure and leak-free fluid transfer in clinical settings.
These connectors are intended for single-use in general hospital environments and are supplied sterile. They are classified as Class II devices under FDA regulation 880.5440 and have received FDA 510(k) clearance (K870912) as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. The connectors are not intended for MRI use and must be stored in a clean, dry environment to maintain sterility and functionality.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What are the T-Connectors 014500/014501/014502/014503-120 designed for?
These T-Connectors are designed to facilitate the connection and transition of fluid pathways in medical applications. Their T-shaped junction allows for merging two fluid lines into one or splitting a single line into multiple outlets, ensuring secure and leak-free fluid transfer in clinical settings like general hospitals.
Are the T-Connectors 014500/014501/014502/014503-120 intended for reuse?
No, these T-Connectors are explicitly intended for single-use only. This design ensures patient safety and sterility, as reuse could compromise the integrity of the connector and introduce contamination risks.
How should the T-Connectors 014500/014501/014502/014503-120 be stored to maintain sterility?
The connectors must be stored in a clean, dry environment to preserve sterility and functionality. Avoid exposure to moisture, dust, or direct sunlight, as these conditions can degrade the material or compromise the sterile packaging.
Can these T-Connectors be used in MRI environments?
No, the T-Connectors 014500/014501/014502/014503-120 are explicitly not intended for MRI use. This restriction is likely due to potential material compatibility issues or electromagnetic interference concerns in magnetic resonance imaging settings.
What regulatory classification and clearance do these T-Connectors hold?
These T-Connectors are classified as Class II medical devices under FDA regulation 21 CFR 880.5440 and have received FDA 510(k) clearance (K870912) as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. The clearance was granted under the Traditional 510(k) review pathway by the FDA’s Orthopaedic Devices Panel (HO).
