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 1):
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, 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 drip stop seated in the outlet opening, the drip stop having an outer perimeter slot that receives a perimeter section of the end base that defines the outlet opening, and having a plurality of lips that define a second slot in the drip stop.
