The needle-free connector for infusion tubing is a key innovative component of modern intravenous infusion systems, replacing traditional steel needle connections with a "zero-needle" design to significantly enhance clinical safety and convenience. Its core functions and technical features are as follows:

1. Needle-proofing and infection control: Through a closed-design, it prevents healthcare workers from being pricked by needles, reducing the risk of bloodborne disease infections; at the same time, it prevents external bacteria from entering the infusion system, decreasing the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs).

2. Self-sealing structure: It contains an internal silicone diaphragm or mechanical valve that automatically closes after operations such as infusion, flushing, and sealing, preventing blood reflux and air ingress, ensuring the patency of the infusion line.

3. Compatibility and convenience: It fits various devices such as syringes, infusion sets, and heparin caps, supports one-handed operation, simplifying nursing procedures; some products have anti-backflow designs to avoid drug mixing contamination.

However, the precise structure of the needle-free connector requires extremely high welding technology standards. Shunrong Ultrasonics empowers the manufacturing production of needle-free connectors with its welding technology.

Ningbo Shunrong, leveraging its ultrasonic technology advantages, provides efficient and clean welding solutions for the production of needle-free connectors, significantly improving product quality and production efficiency:

1. Medical-grade clean welding: The ultrasonic welder uses high-frequency vibration to instantly friction heat and melt the contact surfaces of the needle-free connector components, eliminating the need for glue or chemical additives throughout the process, preventing residual contamination, and meeting ISO 13485 medical device quality management system requirements.

2. Precision sealing assurance: The equipment is equipped with a servo drive system and high-precision sensors that can precisely control welding pressure, time, and amplitude (accuracy up to ±0.01mm), ensuring excellent sealing performance of the connector. Tests show that the welded needle-free connector has no leakage under a pressure of 0.3MPa, far exceeding industry standards, effectively preventing blood backflow and air embolism risks.

3. Efficient mass production advantage: The single-station welding cycle only takes 2-3 seconds, and combined with automated assembly lines, it can achieve a high output of 20-30 pieces per minute, more than three times faster than traditional processes, while reducing labor costs and material waste.

4. Process stability: The intelligent control system supports multiple parameter preset and real-time monitoring, ensuring highly consistent welding quality across different batches of products, reducing the defect rate from the traditional process's 5% to less than 0.5%, greatly increasing the yield rate.

A technical representative from a well-known medical device company stated: "After introducing the Shunrong ultrasonic welding equipment, the sealing and biosafety of the needle-free connectors were significantly improved, and the product passed the EU CE certification and FDA review cycle was shortened by 40%. The stability and precision of the equipment have won us more international orders."
