PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a component of a medical infusion fluid handling system such as an APD system. A component can automatically cap and remove caps from one or more lines (30) (eg, solution lines), spikes (160), and other connection ports. It is possible. Cap removal and line connections of spikes or other connections do not require human interaction, so the above features provide advantages such as reduced potential for contamination. For example, a fluid handling cassette (24) includes one or more caps (63), which cover the corresponding spikes (160) and also have a raised and concave mechanism to assist in removing the cap from the cassette. Includes at least one. The solution line cap (31) may include holes, recesses, grooves or other mechanisms to engage and remove the spike cap. [Selection diagram] FIG. 33. |
