Value Plastics, Inc. A Nordson Company

United States

As the leading global pharmaceutical component manufacturer, Nordson MEDICAL has developed a more robust alternative for bioprocessing needs with the RQC Series and RQX Series offering a cost effective solution for flexible tubing connections in single use systems. The connector set is best in fit, form and function, and features a user-friendly interface that includes a large guarded button for a secure lock to guard against disconnects, and lofted lead-in for improved ease of connection. The more reliable locking feature gives you peace of mind knowing your connection is secure. The offer includes caps and plugs to support sterilization and shipment needs. Available in widely used polypropylene and polycarbonate materials, these connectors are compatible with industry standard quick connects to simplify qualification.* All materials satisfy USP Class VI and ISO 10993 criteria and are suitable for autoclave and EtO or gamma sterilization. For ease of testing concepts, Nordson MEDICAL offers samples in all available configurations. A complete set of validation and test results are available to support customer needs, including extractables and leachables profiles. *Testing information available upon request on the interoperability of the RQ Series with other connectors.

With the publication of the new ISO 80369-5 limb cuff inflation standard for blood pressure cuffs, many organizations will move away from the use of ISO 594 luers and other parts which can misconnect and move towards this new worldwide standard bayonet-style connectors. The tight dimensional specifications for the compliant connectors will drastically reduce the probability of a misconnection. Nordson MEDICAL has modified designs for parts to be 100% compliant with the blood pressure male connectors that fit singly or in pairs on blood pressure cuffs. These industry-standard male connectors work well with bayonet-style female connectors, both compliant and non-compliant. The Nordson MEDICAL single-barb designs offer an excellent secure connection with better tensile pull results and hydrostatic burst testing results than traditional multi-barb designs, and the toughness of the DuPont Zytel nylon is well proven.
