Abstract

A supplemental additive indication cap for installation about a tubular access port of a container, which defines at one end thereof gripper means such as gripper arms for engaging the access port, to prevent removal of the cap after installation. An auxiliary sleeve is carried by the cap for enclosing the gripper means, to prevent the manual disengagement of the gripper means from the access port and removal of the cap, and also to force the gripper means into engagement with the access port. The cap prevents the addition of further additives such as medication to a parenteral solution container after it is installed.
