ABSTRACT:
A quick release tamper evident closure device for disposable fluid medical storage bags. The closure device comprises an outlet port section and a closure cap section sealed together. The outlet port section is sealed to the bag and includes a tubular member for discharging the fluid in the bag. The outer end of the tubular memeber extends inside a cavity formed in the cap section. A tear path is formed around the cap section for severing the cap section from the port section to provide access to the tubular member. The tear path includes opposed curved portions merging into an apex. A handle extends outward from the cap section and aligned with the apex for applying an outward force which is initially concentrated at the apex, to cause ripping of the closure cap at the apex and then along the remainder of the tear path. The handle includes an opening and is flexible for varying the dimensions of the opening to accommodate the various sized finger inserted therethrough. The tear path may also include a second apex opposed to the first apex and the handle is aligned with both apexes. The applied force would be initally focused at the apexes.
