(54) SEALER-LESS PLASMA BOTTLE AND TOP FOR SAME


(57) A top (120) for a plasma storage container (100) comprises a top body configured to seal an opening of the container, an inlet opening (170) extending through the top body, and a valve mechanism located at least partially within the inlet opening. The valve mechanism includes a resilient member with a septum (200) located nearer the top of the resilient member and a valve wall that extends downward from the septum. The valve mechanism also has an aperture (210) through at least a portion of the resilient member, the aperture configured to open upon connection of a cannula (240) to the container, thereby providing access to the interior of the container. The top further comprises a locking mechanism (720) configured to lock the cannula to the top, a vent opening (160) extending through the top body, and a vent filter (230, 410) to allow air to vent through the vent opening during filling of the container.
