Apparatuses and methods for providing sterile connection during, for example, dialysis therapy. The present invention provides a connector and a cap therefore that easily and readily attaches to a dialysate container and a catheter inserted into a patient's peritoneal cavity. The connector and the cap enable the dialysate to readily transport between the container and the peritoneal cavity while minimizing the potential of contamination therein due to, for example, handling during use. The connector includes a shell that encloses a cap. The cap houses a slit septum and also includes a sealed disinfectant within an interior receptacle. When the catheter or catheter set attaches to the cap, the seal breaks and the disinfectant spreads over the threads between the catheter set and the cap.

The present invention relates to a blood dialysis apparatus, in which a plural number of adequate dialysis therapy data (time-series data), wherein an estimated dry weight is closely similar to the dry weight, are memorized and thus it can be easily determined whether or not the subsequent dialysis therapy process achieves adequate therapeutic effects closely similar to the dry weight, and a blood dialysis method. A blood dialysis apparatus comprising: a dialytic treatment unit by which water is removed in accordance with the water removal amount determined based on an estimated dry weight and dialysis therapy is conducted; a BV detection unit (9) by which BV of the blood under extracorporeal circulation is measured at multiple points through time in the course of the dialysis therapy by using the dialytic treatment unit to thereby give time-series data; a determination unit (10) by which it is determined whether or not the estimated dry weight is closely similar to the dry weight after the completion of the dialytic therapy by using the dialytic treatment unit to thereby determine the adequacy of the dialysis therapy; and a memory unit (11) by which a plural number of the time-series data of the dialysis therapy having been judged as adequate by the determination unit (10) can be memorized.
