1. A dialysis device comprising:
a disinfecting connector comprising a disinfecting chamber filled with a disinfecting material approved for usage inside a patient body, and positioned within an internal lumen of the disinfecting connector, wherein the disinfecting chamber includes:
a proximal barrier positioned at one end of the disinfecting chamber; and
a distal barrier positioned at an opposing end of the disinfecting chamber;
wherein the dialysis device, which is configured for use with a second connector having an inner lumen, further comprises:
an actuator configured to push, when activated, the disinfecting connector against the second connector so that an end of the second connector opens said distal barrier and said proximal barrier to create a flow path between the inner lumen of said second connector and the internal lumen of said disinfecting connector for releasing disinfecting material from the disinfecting chamber into the flow path.
