摘要：
A multiport blood collection device includes a rearward retaining portion including three couplers, each configured to receive a respective blood sample container, a forward adapter portion configured to receive a connector through which tubing coupled to a hypodermic needle is coupled to the device, and a branched passageway within the device to simultaneously divert blood extracted by the hypodermic needle from the tubing through the connector to respective blood sample containers inserted in each of the couplers. The paths through the multiport blood collection device to each of the couplers are coplanar, are symmetric about the device body, and have the same diameter. The path diameter is greater than and proportional to the inner diameter of the hypodermic needle. Each path includes at most one turn, the turn being at an angle less than ninety degrees. A portion of the branched passageway may be formed by a multi-position valve.
