A device is provided for removing waste fluid from a fluid supply and removal system that alternately supplies supply fluid to a user and receives the waste fluid from the user. The supply fluid and the waste fluid flow along a flow path, the supply fluid being supplied to and the waste fluid being received from the user by way of a supply tube. The system has a dead space. The device has a flow passage operatively associated with the supply tube and the dead space and directs the supply fluid and the waste fluid. An exhaust tube exhausts a portion of the waste fluid from the system and has a first end operatively associated with the flow passage. The exhaust tube is attached to the system at a location along the flow path between the user and the dead space.
