摘要

A fluid collection reservoir (10) is disclosed comprising a housing (12) having an inlet, a collection chamber (14), an outlet (18), and means for controlling the flow of fluid through the outlet. Said controlling means comprises float means (34) being movable responsive to a level of fluid in said reservoir, lever means (38) including means for sealing said reservoir outlet against fluid flow therethrough, means for displacing said lever means to a position releasing said reservoir outlet seal, and means for holding said lever means in said seal releasing position until a predetermined level of fluid remains in the reservoir and thereafter freeing said lever means for reestablishing said outlet seal. The device is especially suitable for use in the control of the outflow of blood from a blood collection and transfer reservoir.
