Patent ID: 7293475

Claim:
A fluid sampling device comprising: (a) a port insert comprising a body having a front and a back and a plurality of shafts therethrough from the front to the back, (b) each shaft having a front and a rear with the front of the shafts being positioned towards front of the body, the shafts each have an opening at the front to a passage which extends the length of each of the shafts and having a connection formed on the rear of each shaft; (c) a rotatably displaceable member mounted to the front of the body, the rotatably displaceable member having a shaft extending through the body, the shaft being capable of rotating the member, the rotatably displaceable member having a passage which can be selectively rotated into alignment with an individual opening of the shafts, the rotationally displaceable member being displaceable between “open” and “closed” positions by rotation of the shaft such that fluid can flow into the passage of the rotatably displaceable member into the opening of an individual shaft and through said passage in said shaft when in said “open” position, but not in said “closed” position; (d) a plurality of flexible conduits, equal in number to said shafts, each flexible conduit in fluid communication with an individual shaft and connected to the connection at the rear of each shaft and (e) a plurality of sample containers, equal in number to said plurality of conduits, each sample container in fluid communication with an individual conduit.
