A small, non-powered, noninvasive, linear Luer connector intended to connect an intravenous (IV) line to a peripheral catheter/cannula during IV administration, and to facilitate safe disconnection if excessive tension is placed on the IV line (e.g., unintentional tugging or pulling). The safe disconnection feature, which is sometimes referred to as a force activated separation mechanism and designed to reduce patient injury, includes valves to prevent blood loss, contamination, and IV fluid leakage. This is a single-use device.
