Claim 6:
7. A fluid transfer device, comprising:
a housing including an inlet configured to be fluidically coupled to a patient;
a channel disposed in the housing, the channel configured to receive a first volume of fluid from the patient via the inlet;
a valve in communication with the channel; and
a seal in selective fluid communication with the channel,
the valve in an open state and the seal configured to allow the first volume of fluid to flow from the inlet and toward the valve,
the valve configured to transition to a closed state in response to an equalization of pressure between an inner volume of the fluid transfer device and a portion of the patient to which the inlet is fluidically coupled,
the valve in the closed state and the seal further configured to sequester the first volume of fluid and to allow a second volume of fluid to flow into a fluid flow path that bypasses the channel and the first volume of fluid sequestered therein.
