Abstract
A check valve manifold assembly contains multiple inlet and outlet ports extending through a housing into a fluid passageway. The fluid passageway interconnects the various ports, and the housing further contains multiple check valves, one such valve being associated with each of the ports. When used with an active perfusion pump, the manifold system permits easy and proper perfusion of the patient at high pressures.
