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.
