The present invention is a catheter device (410,710). The catheter device will include a septum (422,122) that is housed within a housing (426,726). The septum is designed such that it will seal the housing. The catheter device also includes a needle shield (428,728). The needle shield is configured to retain a needle if the needle (14) is withdrawn from the housing. The catheter device is further configured such that the septum housing (424,724) includes a receiving portion (434,734) that is designed to engage a portion of the needle shield. However, if the needle is withdrawn from the housing, the needle shield will disengage from the septum housing so that the needle shield may be separated from the septum housing.
