Abstract
A container for pooling plasma and the like has an integral cap. The cap includes an air vent with an inline bacterial filter. The cap also includes a fluid passage to which a length of tubing is integrally connected. The tubing includes at its unattached end one or more connector members which can be coupled to a fluid source to enable fluid to be transferred into the container via the tubing. The connector members are releasably secured to the cap prior to use. After fluid transfer is complete, the transfer tubing is sealed and severed close to the cap. The cap includes a pocket which receives the remaining sealed end portion of the tubing to protect the sealed end portion from inadvertent contact and damage during subsequent handling. The cover includes a plug which can be moved into a position which hermetically seals the vent and, thus, the entire container.
