A fluid line coupling is disclosed for connection with hollow tubing. The
coupling includes a body portion having a passageway for fluid
communication with the tubing. A first wall extends from the body portion
radially surrounding the passageway, and a second wall radially surrounds
the first wall forming a pocket between the walls. The second wall
includes an aperture for fluid communication with the pocket. An open
ended aperture may be included in a radial array of apertures. The first
wall may include a tapered surface for securing the tubing. A third wall
may radially surround the second wall forming a well for an adhesive for
filling the aperture and pocket. A second set of walls may extend in an
axially opposite direction from the first set. The coupling may be
included in a connection assembly with hollow tubing comprising a PVC
material providing fluid communication with a medical instrument.
