  • Fluid manifold
    Patent number: 10357348
    Abstract: A fluid manifold that consistently and reliably delivers fluids to one or more subject interfaces is provided. A branched pattern of bifurcated lumina carrying the fluid from a source to the outlets in each subject interface provides substantially equal amounts of fluid to each subject interface, thereby reducing the risk of over- or under-delivery of the fluid. A fluid-scavenging system is also included. A plurality of exhaust inlets in the interior of the subject interfaces is connected to a source of negative pressure through a channel and exhaust port to collect fluid before it can escape the subject interface, thereby reducing the risk of escaping fluid reaching the atmosphere.
    Type: Grant
