A flushable catheter assembly having features to enable selective activationof fluid flow through the catheter assemblyis disclosed herein. A septum is placed within the catheter adapter of thecatheter assembly and includes a pathway that isclosed prior to being biased open via a septum activator also positionedwithin the catheter adapter. A plurality of air vent channelsis interposed between the septum and the inner surface of the catheter adapterto permit "flashback" of blood during insertionof the catheter into a patient. The septum activator is advanced through thepathway of the septum as a coupler is attached to aproximal opening of the catheter adapter.
