Abstract
An airway connector is provided for withdrawing solutions from bottles and comprises a spike having a solution flow passage and an air inlet passage, with both passages opening at the tip of the spike. The spike carries a body member having a filter chamber extending radially outwardly from the spike and being positioned eccentrically with respect to the axis of the spike. The body member defines a portion of the air inlet passage with the air inlet passage portion extending angularly through the body member to communicate with the filter chamber. A hydrophobic filter is located in the filter chamber with the filter having a smaller volume than the volume of the filter chamber to provide an air space communicating with the air inlet passage.
