Abstract
A needle assembly for a medical device comprising a needle cannula which is mounted in a hub connectable to a medical device, and which needle assembly comprises releasable locking means which co-operates with the connection means of the hub such that the needle cap is locked to the hub when the releasable locking means is not released. Once the locking means is released by activation of the connection means, the needle cap is unlocked from the hub. The activation of the locking means is preferably done automatically when the needle assembly is attached to the medical device.
