Vascular access device blood draw system with septum access

A system for blood draw comprising:

• a catheter adapter comprising a catheter configured to be inserted into a patient's vasculature and a side inlet defining a fluid pathway into and out of the catheter;
• a near-patient access port member having a main branch comprising a distal end portion couplable to the side inlet of the catheter adapter and a proximal end portion having integrated septum therein;
• and
• a blood draw device removably couplable to the near-patient access port member, wherein the blood draw device comprises:
• a cannula configured to penetrate the integrated septum of the near-patient access port member;
• a flow tube configured to be advanced and retracted through the cannula;
• and
• a tube advancement tab coupled to the flow tube and configured to linearly advance and retract the flow tube through the cannula such that the flow tube is selectively directable through the blood draw device, the near-patient access port member, and the catheter adapter when the cannula of the blood draw device penetrates the integrated septum of the near-patient access port member.

A system for blood draw comprising:

• a catheter adapter comprising:
• a catheter configured to be inserted into a patient's vasculature,
• a proximal access port having an integrated septum positioned therein, and
• a side inlet, wherein both the proximal access port and the side inlet define a fluid pathway into and out of the catheter;
• a near-patient access port member having a main branch comprising a distal end portion couplable to the side inlet of the catheter adapter and a proximal end portion;
• and
• a blood draw device removably couplable to the proximal access port of the catheter adapter, wherein the blood draw device comprises:
