Patent attributes
A closure assembly structured for use with a female connector and being operative to indicate an attempted tampering or access thereto. A flow restrictor is movably and removably disposed within a housing and includes a male connector such as, but not limited to, a male luer connector comprising a plug disposed and structured to be inserted in flow restricting engagement within an interior port of the female connector. An indicator member is removably connected to an interior of the housing in surrounding relation to the flow restrictor and a drive assembly associated with both the flow restrictor and the housing is operable to dispose the male plug into the inserted, flow restricting engagement within the female connector. Attempted removal of the housing from the female connector, such as by an applied axial force, will detach the indicator member from the housing and expose it in a visually observable position on the flow restrictor, thereby indicating attempted access.
