Various medical systems and methods are described, including a medical monitoring system ( 102, 400, 700, 800, 2632). The medical monitoring system can have a fluid system (404, 510. 801, 901) configured to receive bodily fluid and optically analyze said fluid to determine analyte concentration. The fluid system can have a removable portion (408, 410, 710, 804. 904. 1000, 4218). The removable portion can have an opening with a port (3912, 3916. 4216). The system can also have a container (2812, 3112) configured to contain anticoagulant. The container can have a portion configured to mate with the port of the removable portion. The container can be further configured to not fit into a conventional luer fitting. An anti-coagulant insertion apparatus is also described. The apparatus can have a syringe (2812). a dock (3912) with a port (3916, 4216), and an adapter (3312, 2814) configured to connect the syringe to the port. The dock can also have a tab (3918) configured to move with the port. |
