摘要：
Systems and methods of disinfection of catheter connections are provided. A transfer catheter connector can include a UV -transparent window at its distal end and a sealing plunger proximal to the UV -transparent window. A solution set connector can be inserted inside a portion of the transfer catheter connector to connect a solution set and transfer catheter. The solution set connector comprises a lumen covered by a leading membrane surface； a sealing surface configured to sealingly engage the window surface, and a piercing member configured to pierce the membrane surface. The sealing plunger, membrane surface, and window define a disinfection zone. The connectors can be connected in a disinfection position configuration in which flow is not permitted between the catheters and the connectors are irradiated with UV light. After disinfection, the connectors are advanced to a flow position in which the piercing member pierces the membrane surface, enabling flow between the catheters.
