a valve in communication with the channel and in contact with a valve seat,
the valve configured to allow at least the portion of the first volume of fluid to be received into the fluid transfer device via the first fluid flow path,
the valve configured to transition from an open state to a closed state after at least the portion of the first volume of fluid has been received into the fluid transfer device,
the valved configured to transition from the open state to the 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 port is fluidically coupled; and
a seal configured to transition from a first state to a second state to allow a second volume of fluid to be received into a second fluid flow path, the second fluid flow path bypassing the channel and at least the portion of the first volume of fluid received in the fluid transfer device, the port defining a portion of the second fluid flow path.
