Claim 12:
13. A bodily fluid control device comprising;
an inlet;
a junction connected with the inlet;
an outlet;
a chamber connected with the inlet via the junction, the chamber having a vent that includes an air permeable bodily fluid barrier that at least partially seals upon contact with a first portion of bodily fluid;
a housing that houses and defines the inlet, the outlet, and the chamber; and
wherein the chamber and the junction are configured to direct the first portion of the bodily fluid from the inlet into the chamber toward the air permeable bodily fluid barrier and to displace air in the chamber, whereupon at least partially sealing of the air permeable bodily fluid barrier enables at least temporary containment of the first portion of the bodily fluid in the chamber, and enables a second portion of the bodily fluid from the inlet to bypass the chamber via the junction and be directed toward the outlet.
