Patent number: 11938299Abstract: A device for the uninterrupted administration of fluid to an animal body during a draw of bodily fluid, e.g., blood, is disclosed. A first fluid channel is configured to selectively transport IV fluid to an animal body and to draw a bodily fluid from the body. A sealing member for sealing a bodily fluid draw port defines a concave surface on a first end. The sealing member concave surface forms an interior surface portion of the first fluid channel. A connection member is configured to connect to a catheter to the first fluid channel and defines a concave distal end. A second fluid channel continuously provides IV fluid to a lumen coaxially located within the catheter.
