A sampling port comprising: a hub having a body forming a hub chamber for containing a fluid, the hub further having a proximal opening to the hub chamber for receiving a medical implement, the hub chamber having a valve member normally closing the opening, the valve member having a valve wall forming a valve interior; a first fluid channel formed by the hub body, the first fluid channel being in fluid communication with the hub chamber, the first fluid channel having a first radial portion having a first radial longitudinal axis and a first proximally extending portion having a first proximally extending flow path with a first proximally extending longitudinal axis, wherein the first proximally extending flow path is aligned with the first radial longitudinal axis, that is a distal projection of the first proximally extending flow path intersects the first radial longitudinal axis, and is generally orthogonal to the first radial longitudinal axis; and a second fluid channel formed by the hub body, the second fluid channel being in fluid communication with the hub chamber, the second fluid channel having a second radial portion having a second radial longitudinal axis and a second proximally extending portion having a second proximally extending flow path with a second proximally extending longitudinal axis, wherein the second proximally extending flow path is aligned with the second radial longitudinal axis, that is a distal projection of the second proximally extending flow path intersects the second radial longitudinal axis,and is generally orthogonal to the second radial longitudinal axis, wherein the first radial longitudinal axis is generally parallel with and spaced from the second radial longitudinal axis, the first and second proximally extending longitudinal axes (166, 176) forming a plane therebetween, wherein the plane is not parallel with the first longitudinal axis. a hub having a body forming a hub chamber for containing a fluid, the hub further having a proximal opening to the hub chamber for receiving a medical implement, the hub chamber having a valve member normally closing the opening, the valve member having a valve wall forming a valve interior; a first fluid channel formed by the hub body, the first fluid channel being in fluid communication with the hub chamber, the first fluid channel having a first radial portion having a first radial longitudinal axis and a first proximally extending portion having a first proximally extending flow path with a first proximally extending longitudinal axis, wherein the first proximally extending flow path is aligned with the first radial longitudinal axis, that is a distal projection of the first proximally extending flow path intersects the first radial longitudinal axis, and is generally orthogonal to the first radial longitudinal axis; and a second fluid channel formed by the hub body, the second fluid channel being in fluid communication with the hub chamber, the second fluid channel having a second radial portion having a second radial longitudinal axis and a second proximally extending portion having a second proximally extending flow path with a second proximally extending longitudinal axis, wherein the second proximally extending flow path is aligned with the second radial longitudinal axis, that is a distal projection of the second proximally extending flow path intersects the second radial longitudinal axis,and is generally orthogonal to the second radial longitudinal axis, wherein the first radial longitudinal axis is generally parallel with and spaced from the second radial longitudinal axis, the first and second proximally extending longitudinal axes (166, 176) forming a plane therebetween, wherein the plane is not parallel with the first longitudinal axis.
