Abstract
A medical fluid set comprises tubing sections interconnected with at least one tubing connector component which connects the tubing sections together to form the set. The set further comprises external connectors carried on ends of at least some tubing sections of the set. At least one of the tubing connector components or external connectors carry, as an integral part thereof, a retaining-sealing member for removable, sealing connection with at least one of the external connectors. The retaining-sealing member is free of fluid flow connection with the set flow path. Thus, separate or tethered closure caps for external connectors can be dispensed with.
