Patent ID: 8667997

Claim:
An apparatus for handling a hazardous fluid, the apparatus comprising: a collection vessel having a collection vessel volume; a collection vessel connector capable of engaging the collection vessel, the collection vessel connector including: a first internal channel in fluid communication with the collection vessel volume when the collection vessel connector is engaged with the collection vessel; a first deformable elastomeric valve biased in a sealed position to seal the first internal channel; and a female end fluid port interlock; a unit dose container comprising a unit dose container volume; a dose control connector capable of engaging the unit dose container, the dose control connector including: a second internal channel in fluid communication with the unit dose container volume when the dose control connector is engaged with the unit dose container; a second deformable elastomeric valve biased in a sealed position to seal the second internal channel; and a male end fluid port interlock; wherein the female end fluid port interlock releasably engages the male end fluid port interlock; wherein engaging the collection vessel connector with the dose control connector causes the first deformable elastomeric valve and the second deformable elastomeric valve to open and places the first internal channel in fluid communication with the second internal channel; and wherein disengaging the collection vessel connector from the dose control connector causes the first deformable elastomeric valve and the second deformable elastomeric valve to return to the biased position for each valve and seal the first internal channel and the second internal channel.
