Cap and cleaning devices antiseptically maintain patient fluid line access valves to minimize the risk of infection via catheters. The devices have a cap that may contain a dry pad impregnated with an antimicrobial agent. The cap covers the access portion of the access valve when not in use. The devices have a hood that contains a wet pad impregnated with a cleaning solution and, optionally, an antimicrobial agent. The wet pad cleans the access portion of the access valve prior to and optionally, after the access valve is utilized to access the patient fluid line.

1. A device for cleaning a patient fluid line access valve comprising: a cap having an inner sidewall and an opening to an inner cavity, the opening for receiving an access portion of an access valve, the access portion providing an access to a fluid line via the access valve when connected to the fluid line;a thread at least partially disposed on at least a portion of the inner sidewall of the cap;a pad including a cleaning agent, the pad at least partially disposed in the inner cavity and adapted to clean at least a portion of the access portion of the access valve;a space providing an air passage between an inner circumference of the cap and at least a portion of an outer surface of a sidewall of the access portion of the access valve when the access portion is received in the opening of the cap and when the inner sidewall of the cap comprising the thread provides a secured attachment of the cap to the access valve;anda removable seal attached to the cap to cover the opening to the inner cavity, the pad being disposed in the inner cavity, prior to receipt of the access portion of the access valve. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the access portion comprises a luer slip and the cap attaches thereto. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein the space comprises a gap between the thread and an external surface of the luer slip. 4. The device of claim 2, wherein the space comprises a helical void formed between the thread and an external surface of the luer slip, received via the opening, in the inner cavity. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the access portion of the access valve comprises a thread, and the secured attachment comprises the thread of the cap accommodating at least a portion of the thread of the access portion. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the space comprises a gap between the thread of the cap and the thread of the access portion. 7. A device for cleaning a patient fluid line access valve comprising: a cap having an opening to an inner cavity, the opening for receiving an access portion of an access valve, the access portion providing an access to a fluid line via the access valve when connected to the fluid line;a pad including a cleaning agent, the pad at least partially disposed in the inner cavity and adapted to clean at least a portion of the access portion of the access valve;a space between an inner circumference of the cap and at least a portion of an outer surface of a sidewall of the access portion of the access valve received in the opening of the cap;a removable seal attached to the cap to cover the opening to the inner cavity, the pad being disposed in the inner cavity, prior to receipt of the access portion of the access valve; anda thread at least partially disposed on the inner circumference of the cap,whereinthe access portion of the access valve comprises a thread, andthe space comprises a helical void formed by a dimensional difference between the thread of the cap and the thread of the access portion when the thread of the cap accommodates the thread of the access portion. 8. The device of claim 5, wherein the cap is attached to the access portion. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein the cap encompasses at least a portion of the access portion to allow movement of the access portion, received via the opening, in the inner cavity. 10. A device for cleaning a needleless access valve comprising: a cap having an inner cavity for receiving an access portion of an access valve, and an opening to the inner cavity for receiving the access portion of the access valve into the inner cavity, the access portion providing an access to a fluid line via the access valve when connected to the fluid line;a thread at least partially extending inwardly into the inner cavity of the cap to provide a secured attachment of the cap to at least a portion of the access portion of the access valve received into the inner cavity to maintain the cap on the access valve;a cleaning agent disposed in the inner cavity, the cleaning agent being formulated to clean at least a portion of the access portion of the access valve received in the inner cavity of the cap;anda removable seal sealing the cleaning agent within the inner cavity prior to the inner cavity of the cap receiving the access portion of the access valve,wherein a space providing an air passage is formed between an inner circumference of the cap and at least a portion of an outer surface of a sidewall of the access portion of the access valve when the access portion is received in the opening of the cap and when the secured attachment comprises holding at least a portion of the outer surface of the sidewall of the access portion of the access valve within the inner cavity of the cap. 11. The device of claim 10, wherein the cap encompasses the access portion of the access valve received into the inner cavity of the cap to allow lateral movement of the access portion within the inner cavity when the access portion is received into the inner cavity. 12. The device of claim 10, wherein the thread has a length less than an inner circumference of the inner cavity. 13. The device of claim 10, wherein: the thread is configured at least partially around an inside surface of the cap near an outer periphery of the inner cavity to accommodate corresponding threads on the access portion of the access valve;andthe space comprises a gap between the portion of the outer surface of the sidewall of the access portion and the inside surface of the cap comprising the thread when the access portion is received in the inner cavity and when the secured attachment is provided. 14. A device for cleaning a needleless access valve having a threaded access portion comprising: a cap having an inner cavity for receiving a threaded access portion of a valve via an opening to the inner cavity, the threaded access portion providing an access to a fluid line via the access valve when connected to the fluid line;a protrusion extending inwardly at least partially around an inside surface of the cap, the protrusion to attach the cap to at least a portion of the threaded access portion of the valve received in the inner cavity to maintain the cap on the valve;a cleaning agent disposed in the inner cavity, the cleaning agent being formulated to clean at least a portion of the threaded access portion of the valve received in the inner cavity; anda removable seal covering the opening to the inner cavity, the cleaning agent being within the inner cavity of the cap,wherein a space providing an air passage is defined at least between a portion of an outer surface of a sidewall of the threaded access portion and the inside surface of the cap comprising the protrusion when the threaded access portion is received in the inner cavity and the cap is attached to the valve.
