<p>A unitary, sterile fluid dispensing assembly and a method of forming the assembly (10) includes forming a fluid-filled container (12) with a vinyl dispensing port (14) and forming a fluid transfer set (17) with a vinyl spike connector (40). The spike connector (40) is inserted into the vinyl dispensing port (14) thereby placing the set in fluid flow communication with the fluid (F) in the container (12). The assembly (10) is sterilized in an autoclave. The heat of sterilization melds at least a surface portion of the vinyl spike connector (40) and softens an interior adjacent surface portion of the port (14) on the container (12). After sterilization, the transfer set (17) is permanently bonded to the container (12). The presence of the fluid (F) in the transfer set during sterilization prevents fusing and closing of the lumens of the set due to the heat of sterilization.</p> |
