The blood collection set (10) includes an IV needle assembly (24), a length of flexible plastic tubing (46) extending from the IV needle assembly (24) and a non-patient needle assembly (54). The non-patient needle assembly (54) is formed with a venting plug (80) that permits an outflow of air, while blocking an outflow of blood or other fluids. Thus, the venting mechanism (80) enables air that had existed in interior portions of the blood collection set (10) to be vented, and avoids the need to employ a discard tube. <IMAGE> |
