With the present invention, needle safety shielding is provided for medical devices, such as blood collection sets. In a broadest sense, the invention is a medical device which includes a first needle cannula mounted to a first needle hub; a second needle cannula; tubing having a first lumen for establishing fluid communication between the first and second needle cannulas; an actuatable shield movable relatively to the first needle cannula upon actuation from an initial first position where the first needle cannula is at least partially exposed to a second position where a sharp distal end of the first needle cannula is protected or at least partially encapsulated by the shield; and, an actuator for actuating the shield which is engageable at a location spaced from the first needle cannula and the first needle hub.
