Claim 12:
13. A syringe connector manifold assembly comprising:
a fluid control valve;
a first syringe end cap;
a second syringe end cap;
a first inlet tube providing fluid communication between a first inlet port of the fluid control valve and the first syringe end cap; and
a second inlet tube providing fluid communication between a second inlet port of the fluid control valve and the second syringe end cap;
wherein the fluid control valve comprises:
a valve body defining an internal chamber axially aligned with the first inlet port and the second inlet port; and
a sliding valve member disposed in the internal chamber and configured to slide along an axis in the internal chamber between the first inlet port and the second inlet port, wherein the sliding valve member is positionable in a first operating state, a second operating state, and a third operating state based on a fluid flow differential between a first fluid in the first inlet tube and a second fluid in the second inlet tube; and
wherein the sliding valve member defines at least one channel extending between the first sealing end and the second sealing end, wherein the at least one channel provides fluid communication between the second inlet port and an outlet port in the first operating state, the at least one channel provides fluid communication between the first inlet port and the outlet port in the second operating state, and the at least one channel provides fluid communication between the first inlet port, the second inlet port, and the outlet port in the third operating state.
