Abstract
A syringe assembly includes a syringe with a tamper-evident cap over the Luer connection. The cap has a proximal end with an opening, a distal end, and a frangible connection between them. The frangible connection breaks under force, leaving the proximal end engaged with the syringe. An RFID tag on the syringe communicates with an RFID reader.
Claims20
A tamper evident cap, comprising:
- a main body having a proximal end defining an opening and a distal end opposite the proximal end along an axial direction, wherein the main body defines an outer surface and an inner surface opposite the outer surface, the inner surface defining a passage configured to receive a tip cap and a Luer connection of a syringe such that a portion of the inner surface is configured to engage with the Luer connection, the main body further defining a frangible connection between the proximal end and the distal end,
- wherein the frangible connection is configured to break under a force applied to the distal end such that, when the distal end is decoupled from the proximal end, the proximal end is configured to remain engaged with the Luer connection.
