A sterile fluid pathway connector includes a piercing member, a connector hub, and a pierceable seal; wherein at least a portion of the pierceable seal is configured to move from a first position in which the piercing member is retained within a sterile cavity between the pierceable seal and the connector hub, to a second position in which the pierceable seal has been penetrated by the piercing member. A filter may be utilized to enclose the sterile cavity from the outside environment. Such fluid pathway connections may be integrated into a fluid container having a barrel and a plunger seal. The components of the fluid pathway connector may further be capable of transmitting a signal to the user upon completion of fluid delivery, for example, upon contact between the plunger seal and the pierceable seal. A fluid delivery pump includes such integrated fluid pathway connectors and fluid containers. 无菌流体通路连接器包括刺破构件、连接器毂部、以及可刺破密封件；其中，所述可刺破密封件的至少一部分构造成从第一位置移动至第二位置，在第一位置，刺破构件保持在可刺破密封件与连接器毂部之间的无菌腔内，在第二位置，可刺破密封件被刺破构件
