Abstract
A disposable manifold and valve for fluid processing are claimed in which a manifold provides a plurality of sterile paths for directing the flow of fluids. A rotatable valve employs a cam to control the flow of fluids through the manifold. The valve and manifold system are suited for the processing of blood and particularly for the washing of shed blood retrieved during surgery.
