Patent number: 7530974Abstract: A port closure system for use with a fluid container having fluid ports includes administrative and additive port closure assemblies. The administrative assembly receives a piercing pin and includes an administrative housing which seals closed one fluid port. A sleeve extends from an interior surface past a base surface in the administrative housing. The sleeve has an upper portion and a lower portion, of differing diameters. A cap assembly mates with the administrative housing, sealing the interior surface of the administrative housing. A removable cap provides access to the interior surface. The additive assembly receives a needle and includes a reseal housing which seals closed another fluid port. Another cap assembly mates with the reseal housing, sealing an interior face of the reseal housing. Another removable cap provides access to the interior face. A reseal element is mechanically retained between the reseal housing and cap assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2005Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: John Domkowski, Richard E. Burg, Glenn A. Caspary, Joseph Pasini, Stanley F. Pytel, John Sergot

Publication number: 20090084804Abstract: A single-use, snap-over cap for use primarily in healthcare settings in order to maintain the integrity of a medication solution. The cap has a tapered cylindrical skirt, a puncture resistant lid portion, and one or more latch tabs. When placed onto a flanged injection port such as is found on a conventional fluid container, the latch tabs engage and flex about the port flange. After the cap is placed, the latch tabs engage the port flange to prevent upward axial movement relative to the port, thereby preventing removal of the cap and thus deterring unwanted or erroneous drug administrations or withdrawals.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2008Publication date: April 2, 2009Applicant: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: Glenn A. Caspary, John A. Domkowski, Gregory G. Pieper
