An improved apparatus for aseptically connecting medical liquid containers to a length of flexible tubing comprises a port on the container, a pierceable diaphragm within the port, and a hollow tubular piercing pin connected to the length of flexible tubing adapted for penetrating the pierceable diaphragm. An alignment tray having a bag port cavity integrally formed therein is adapted for receiving and fixedly positioning the bag port and the bag. A guide mechanism integrally formed along the length of the tray is constructed to align the piercing pin and allow it to be slidably joined to the bag port without touch contamination of the port or the pin.

An improved apparatus for aseptically connecting medical liquid containers to a length of flexible tubing comprising: a tubular port member extending from the medical liquid container; a pierceable diaphragm positioned within and sealing said tubular port member; a hollow tubular piercing pin connected at its proximal end to said length of flexible tubing and having a sharpened tip at its distal end adapted for penetration of said pierceable diaphragm and further describing a plurality of flange members extending laterally therefrom; an alignment tray having a cavity integrally formed therein adapted for the reception and fixed positioning of said tubular port member therein; a clasp member constructed and arranged for the selective enclosure of said piercing pin and retention of said piercing pin within said tubular port member, said clasp member including first and second substantially C-shaped portions hingedly connected to each other and further including latching means at opposing ends thereof; a tubular shroud distally extending from said clasp member constructed and arranged for telescopic connection to said tubular port member; threading means integrally formed and helically arrayed about said tubular shroud; lock nut means concentrically disposed about said tubular port member, constructed and arranged for threadable engagement with said threading means on said tubular shroud; a linear trough integrally formed along the base of said alignment tray, said trough being constructed and arranged so as to substantially conform to the width and depth of said clasp member; and a lock nut cavity integrally formed in said alignment tray, constructed and arranged for clearance from said lock nut when said tubular port member is positioned within said alignment tray; whereby said clasp member with said hollow tubular piercing pin contained therein may be snugly received in and linearly advanced along said linear trough in substantial axial alignment with said tubular port member so that said piercing pin penetrates said pierceable diaphragm and said threading means on said tubular shroud threadably engages said lock nut so that when said lock nut is rotated within said lock nut cavity, said container will be fixedly attached to said flexible tubing without touch contamination of said port member or said piercing pin.
