Claim:
1. A fluid delivery Y-site device comprising: a chamber fluidly coupled between a primary flow port and an exit flow port; a secondary flow port fluidly coupled to the chamber, the secondary flow port configured to conduct fluid to the chamber; a valve guide, positioned in the chamber proximate the primary flow port; a valve positioned between the primary flow port and the valve guide, the valve configured to move between an occluding configuration and an open configuration, based on a level of fluid within the chamber, wherein in the occluding configuration, the valve is engaged against the primary flow port to occlude a fluid flow through the primary flow port into the chamber, and in the open configuration, the valve is separated from the primary flow port to permit a fluid flow through the primary flow port into the chamber; and a float positioned within the chamber between the valve and the exit flow port, the float configured to move independent of the valve based on a level of fluid within the chamber, such that a portion of the float extends through the valve guide and engages the valve to move the valve to the occluding configuration.
