摘要：
Disclosed is a method of cleaning and covering an access site a central venous catheter to maintain sterility of the catheter while using an antiseptic cap equipped plunger assembly. The method comprises flushing an access site with a solution delivered by a syringe and removing a sealing cover on a container having a threaded cap. The threaded cap has an antiseptic or disinfectant fluid therein. The cap is threaded onto the access site with the cap positioned in the container and the container is withdrawn from the cap. The cap is allowed to remain on and cover the access site. The cap includes a sponge and the antiseptic fluid is retained in the sponge, the sponge contacting the access site when the cap is threaded on the access site. The container and the cap are stored in a syringe. The container and the cap are removed from the syringe after engaging the cap with the access site. The antiseptic fluid is retained within the cap by sealing the cap with a thread cover engaging the access site. On threading the cap onto the access site, the cap is positioned in the container and relative rotational movement is prevented between the syringe and the cap to ensure common rotational movement about a common axis.
