<p>An apparatus (20; 200) for handling a patient's blood during a first medical use which is convertible for a second medical use comprises a first block (26, 220) for adapting a reservoir (24; 206) for use during one medical use and a second block (28, 218) for adapting the reservoir (24; 206) for another medical use other than the first medical use. A lever (110; 203) pivotally mounted on the apparatus (20; 200) engages at least one of the blocks (26, 220) so that pivoting the lever (110; 203) causes the blocks (26 and 28; 218, 220) to move, moving the first block (26; 220) out of its operative position and moving the second block (28; 218) into its operative position. A lock (126a and 126b) for the lever (110) locks the blocks (26 and 28; 218 and 220) in place, and a valve mechanism (202) automatically selects a proper outlet (208 or 210).</p> |
