Abstract
A bypass for a tube set for directing the flow of a fluid component includes an inlet passage for fluid connection with a source of said fluid component, an outlet passage for fluid connection with a first bag compartment, and a bypass passage for fluid connection with a second bag compartment. A flow control device in the bypass passage is operable in a first position in which the flow control device seals the bypass passage, and a second position in which the flow control device unseals the bypass passage to receive a tubing line connected with said second bag compartment.
Claims20
A bypass for a tube set for directing the flow of a fluid component, said bypass comprising:
- an inlet passage for fluid connection with a source of said fluid component;
- a first outlet passage for fluid connection with a first container;
- a second outlet passage for fluid connection with a second container;
- and
- a cap detachably connected to the second outlet passage, the cap being displaceable between a first position in which the cap covers the second outlet passage, and a second position in which the cap is removed from the second outlet passage to facilitate connection of a tubing line with the second outlet passage, the bypass and second outlet passage adapted to receive said tubing line in a position that obstructs the first outlet passage to prevent flow between the inlet passage and the first outlet passage.
A bypass for a tube set for directing the flow of a fluid component, said bypass comprising:
- an inlet passage for fluid connection with a source of said fluid component;
- a first outlet passage for fluid connection with a first fluid receptacle;
- a second outlet passage for fluid connection with a second fluid receptacle;
- and
- a flow control device detachably connected to the second outlet passage, the flow control device being operable in a first position in which the flow control device covers the second outlet passage, and a second position in which the flow control device is removed from the second outlet passage to facilitate connection of a tubing line with the second outlet passage, the bypass and second outlet passage adapted to receive said tubing line in a position that obstructs the first outlet passage to prevent flow between the inlet passage and the first outlet passage.
A bypass for a tube set for directing the flow of a fluid component, said bypass comprising:
- an inlet passage for fluid connection with a source of said fluid component;
- a first outlet passage for fluid connection with a first fluid receptacle;
- a second outlet passage for fluid connection with a second fluid receptacle;
- a junction at which the inlet passage intersects with the first outlet passage;
- and
- a flow control device detachably connected to the second outlet passage, the flow control device being operable in a first position in which the flow control device covers the second outlet passage, and a second position in which the flow control device is removed from the second outlet passage to facilitate connection of a tubing line with the second outlet passage, the bypass and second outlet passage adapted to receive said tubing line in a position that obstructs the first outlet passage to prevent flow between the inlet passage and the first outlet passage.
