A device for taking a sample of blood or some other organic body fluid from a patient in a specific volume and transfering this volume to a container, such as a culture bottle. The device includes a body fluid receiving chamber (1) having an inlet (4) and valve means (5, 6) connected to the inlet. In a first position, the valve means functions to connect the inlet (4) to a hose (7) extending from a needle intended for insertion into the patient. The chamber (1) includes a flexible membrane (3) which enables the chamber to be filled with fluid from the inlet (4) without the fluid coming into contact with the air that is therewith pressed out from the chamber. The valve means (5, 6) can be switched to a second position in wich the hose connection is broken and a chamber outlet (8) is opened, this chamber outlet being connectable to the container. |
