Abstract:
A removable manifold for a medical/surgical waste collection system. The manifold is dimensioned to be mounted to a receiver integral with the system. The manifold includes a includes at least one fitting through which waste is drawn into the manifold. The fitting opens through an inlet port into a void space internal to the manifold. The manifold includes a drip stop.

Claim (Index 6):
A manifold for connection to a receiver of a medical/surgical waste collection unit, the receiver having a valve disk that selectively allows/blocks fluid flow through the receiver, the valve disk being rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the valve disk and having a boss that is radially spaced from the longitudinal axis of the valve disk, the manifold comprising:\n a housing sized and shaped to be disposed in the receiver and, when in the receiver, rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the valve disk, the housing having a proximal end base, an axis that extends through the end base, and a side wall extending distally from the end base, with an outlet opening defined in the end base that is off axis from the axis of the end base; a filter disposed in the housing; at least one fitting arranged in fluid communication with the housing that receives a suction line; and a single-piece drip stop mounted to the end base around the outlet opening, the drip stop having:\n at least one movable valve member that, when the manifold is in the receiver, allows fluid flow through the outlet opening and, when the manifold is removed from the receiver, closes to block fluid flow through the outlet opening, and \n a seal assembly that, when the manifold is in the receiver, forms a seal between the valve disk boss and the end base.
