ABSTRACT:
An access port for a medical fluid container is provided and in one embodiment includes a shell and a perforator located within the shell, the perforator including an end configured to pierce a medical fluid container. The access port also includes a safety cap, the safety cap initially preventing the perforator from rotating relative to the plane of the container or piercing the container film. The safety cap is manually removable to enable the perforator to pierce the medical fluid container. The shell includes a pair of hinged moving arms and members hinged to the arms. The members push the perforator towards the medical fluid container when the arms are pushed downwardly.
