Abstract:
1. A medical system for fluid sampling and pressure monitoring of a fluid system of a patient, comprising: a conduit line with a proximal segment adapted to be supplied with a physiological fluid and a distal segment adapted to be in communication with a fluid system of a patient; a control valve with a manifold defining an interior chamber, the manifold having a proximal port fluidly connected to the proximal segment, a distal port fluidly connected to the distal segment, and at least one reservoir port, wherein each of the manifold ports opens to the interior chamber, a pressure transducer connected to the conduit line for sensing the pressure of the fluid therein; a fluid sampling port in the medical system; a reservoir in fluid communication with the at least one reservoir port of the control valve manifold; the control valve further including a valve member movable within the interior chamber and having a plurality of channels therein that selectively communicate with the manifold ports, wherein the plurality of channels comprises a first fluid path and a second fluid path, wherein the first fluid path is separate from the second fluid path, the valve member being movable into at least two positions:
