The cover is assembled with the housing and moveable between a lockout position at least partially blocking the opening to secure the head portion of the instrument within the internal cavity, and a release position permitting withdrawal of the head portion of the instrument through the opening. A lock interface is configured for securing the cover in the lockout position.
