Abstract

A multifunctional transfer set having an access port is disclosed. The multifunctional transfer set facilitates the introduction of elongate members insertably/retractably and allows fluid flow therethrough without requiring detachment during use. The multifunctional transfer set has a transfer set body assembly connected to a Y-adapter with an access port and a longitudinal portion. A longitudinal axis extends through the transfer set body assembly and longitudinal portion of the Y-adapter and not through the access port. An extension sub-assembly is connected to the access port, the extension sub-assembly having branch tubing, a flow-control device, and a coupling assembly allows fluid flow therethrough into and out of the transfer set body assembly if the flow-control device is open and prevents fluid from flowing therethrough if the flow-control device is closed. An existing transfer set without intervening side access may be converted into a multifunctional transfer set with a shorter longitudinal length.
