A component of a medical infusion fluid handling system, such as an APD system, that automatically caps one or more lines (30) (eg, solution lines), spikes (160), and other connection ports; And / or cap removal. The above features provide the advantage of reduced potential for contamination, as no caps or line connections for spikes or other connections do not require human interaction. For example, the fluid handling cassette (24) includes one or more caps (63) that cover the corresponding spikes (160) and of raised and recessed features to assist in removing the cap from the cassette. Includes at least one. The solution line cap (31) may include a hole, recess, groove or other mechanism for engaging the spike cap and removing the cap. |
