A releasable coupling connector apparatus for catheter applications is provided wherein the connector is partially filled wtih anti-infective solution during manufacture and capped so that a patient or medical technician does not have the task of opening the fluid pathway and introducing the anti-infective solution at point of use into the connector apparatus. The connector apparatus being partially filled with anti-infective solution and capped during manufacture is further sterilized by Gamma radiation in order to eliminate any organism resistant to the anti-infective solution. The releasable coupling connector apparatus provides the first practical double seal connector means wherein a double seal connector defining dual sterilant liquid containing chambers for use with catheter applications and particularly with CAPD whereby sterilization is assuredly and easily achieved by an impaired, unskilled patient even under adverse conditions.
