Abstract

An externally located blood monitoring system has a single access to a patient's blood vessel for monitoring blood associated parameters. A three-position valve permits three modes of operation including flushing, blood pressure monitoring while maintaining patency of the access, and blood sampling while also permitting monitoring of other blood related parameters, such as blood temperature.
