  • Patient fluid manifold
    Patent number: 5163902
    Abstract: A manifold for fluid connection of a plurality of sources of fluid for a patient in which a number of inlet ports on the upper surface of a housing communicate with a lower outlet port by passages or bores which merge to a single passages or bore. The ports are respectively occluded by elastomeric sealing members adapted to be penetrated by a needle or cannula. Preferably, the inlet ports are symmetrical or coincident with an axis so the distance travelled by the fluid from each source is substantially the same.
