The catheter system may also include a needle assembly, which may include a needle hub and an introducer needle. A proximal end of the introducer needle may be secured within the needle hub, and a distal end of the introducer needle may extend beyond a distal end of the catheter. The catheter system may include a vent plug. A distal end of the vent plug may include a male luer adapter, which may include a cannula and a collar surrounding the cannula. The cannula may include a cavity to receive blood flowing proximally through the introducer needle. A proximal end of the cavity may be formed by a wall extending across the cannula and disposed within the needle hub. The cannula may be inserted into the proximal end of the needle hub.
