ABSTRACT:
The catheter includes multiple lumens which connect to a single mixing chamber at the catheter hub. Each of the multiple lumens is connected both to the mixing chamber and to a port connected to a catheter connector. By selecting a plug of suitable length, one or more of the side ports connected to the central mixing chamber can be plugged whereby the connection from that particular side port will be prevented from going into the mixing chamber. Accordingly, it is possible to have a single catheter connection into the mixing chamber which connects to multiple lumens of the catheter without any additional plumbing requirements.
