An access port for a medical fluid container (100) is provided and in one embodiment includes a shell (12) and a perforator (16) located within the shell (12), the perforator (16) including an end configured to pierce a medical fluid container (100). The access port (120) also includes a safety cap (18), the safety cap (18) initially preventing the perforator (16) from rotating relative to the plane of the container (100) or piercing the container film. The safety cap (18) is manually removable to enable the perforator (16) to pierce the medical fluid container (100). The shell (12) includes a pair of hinged moving arms (22) and members (50) hinged to the arms (22). The members (50) push the perforator (16) towards the medical fluid container (100) when the arms (22) are pushed downwardly.
