摘要

A vascular access device includes an interior chamber for receiving a fluid and a filter within the interior chamber for filtering a pathogen within the fluid. A method of filtering a pathogen in a vascular access device includes providing a vascular access device having an interior chamber for receiving a fluid, providing a filter within the interior chamber of the vascular access device to move the fluid through the filter, and filtering a pathogen as the fluid moves through the filter.
