Devices and methods for bodily fluid collection and distribution

An apparatus, comprising:

• a housing defining a fluid reservoir and including a port in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir;
• an inlet adapter removably coupleable to the housing, the inlet adapter including a needle configured to place the port in fluid communication with a bodily fluid source when coupled to the housing;
• an actuator including a plunger at least partially disposed within the housing and defining at least a part of the fluid reservoir, the actuator configured to move the plunger within the housing between a first position and a second position, the fluid reservoir having a first volume when the plunger is in the first position and a second volume greater than the first volume when the plunger is in the second position, an increase in a volume of the fluid reservoir operable to draw bodily fluid into the fluid reservoir via the inlet adapter,
• a volume indicator including an arm configured to transition from a first configuration to a second configuration in response to a portion of the actuator engaging the volume indicator as the actuator moves the plunger from the first position toward the second position, the arm being in the second configuration in response to a predetermined volume of bodily fluid being transferred into the fluid reservoir, the predetermined volume being less than the second volume, the arm in the second configuration is configured to be brought into contact with the portion of the actuator to at least temporarily stop the actuator from further moving the plunger proximally to place the plunger in the second position.

• a volume indicator including an arm, the arm separate from the actuator and configured to move through a portion of the housing as the actuator moves the plunger proximally from the first position toward the second position, the arm configured to move relative to the actuator as the volume indicator transitions from a first configuration to a second configuration, the volume indicator in the second configuration configured such that the arm indicates transfer of a predetermined volume of bodily fluid into the fluid reservoir.
