Abstract: A method for insert molding a shielding plate into a housing portion of an access port includes the steps of: positioning the shielding plate on a first corepin of a mold tool having a cavity, clamping the shielding plate between the first corepin and a second corepin of the mold tool, injecting plastic into the cavity so as to fill the cavity, and retracting the second corepin to create a void and subsequently injecting more plastic so as to fill the void. The molded housing portion of the access port forms a reservoir for receiving fluid. The housing portion includes an open end in which a septum is arranged, an exit passage, and a wall. The shielding plate includes a circular portion having a periphery. An annular region of the shielding plate has a bent portion with an axially extending portion formed on the annular region.

Abstract: An access port includes a molded housing portion forming a reservoir for receiving fluid. The housing portion includes a shielding plate arranged on an inner base of the housing portion; an open end in which a septum is arranged; an exit passage; and a wall, the shielding plate including a circular portion having a periphery. The lower side and the periphery of the shielding plate are embedded into the housing portion. Furthermore, a shielding plate is insert molded into the housing portion.
