Connector assembly
Abstract
A connector assembly may include an inner housing and an outer housing surrounding the inner housing. The inner housing may include a fluid flow path extending between a proximal port and a distal port. An exterior surface of the inner housing may include a first electrically conductive exterior surface and a second electrically conductive exterior surface. An interior surface of the outer housing may include a first electrically conductive interior surface and a second electrically conductive interior surface. The outer housing may be configured to move radially and rotationally relative to the inner housing. A processer may determine, based on whether the electrically conductive exterior surfaces contact the exterior electrically conductive interior surfaces, radial data associated with a radial position of the outer housing relative to the inner housing and rotational data associated with a rotational position of the outer housing relative to the inner housing.
