Patent ID: 7975721

Claim:
An apparatus for directing fluid flow to a subject, the apparatus comprising: a first valve sized and dimensioned for directing the flow of intravenous fluid comprising an inlet capable of being in fluid communication with an intravenous fluid source; an outlet capable of being in fluid communication with the inlet a first port to be in fluid communication with a flush syringe; and two unidirectional valves, wherein the first valve has an axis of rotation and is capable of being in a first mode in which the inlet is in fluid communication with the outlet through a first flow path, and a second mode in which the inlet is in fluid communication with the outlet through a second flow path isolated from the first flow path, and the two unidirectional valves are along the second flow path, the first port is in fluid communication with the second flow path and is between the two unidirectional valves, and the flush syringe, when coupled to the first port, provides a first valve handle for selecting between the first mode and second mode by pivotal rotation of a longitudinal axis of the flush syringe in an arc about the axis of rotation of the first valve.
