A manifold for sequentially dispensing a plurality of solutions through an intravenous supply catheter. The manifold includes a disposable tubing manifold that is connected to each of the solutions to be administered. Flow of solution through the branches of the tubing manifold can be stopped by valves which engage each branch. The quantity of solution dispensed is metered by a volumetric infusion pump and controlled by sequentially opening and closing the valves individually.

A manifold assembly adapted for administering a plurality of different intravenous solutions comprising: a manifold plate having a pair of generally flat inner and outer surfaces, a pair of side surfaces and a pair of end surfaces, an elongated slot provided in said inner surface and extending from one end surface to the other end surface, said slot being of generally U-shape configuration; a plurality of branch slots provided in said inner surface and extending from said elongated slot to said side surfaces of the manifold plate; some of said branch slots extending to one side surface and the remaining branch slots extending to the other side surface; said branch slots being of generally U-shape configuration; a disposable tubing manifold made of flexible tubing and having a trunk tube disposed in said elongated slot and a plurality of branch tubes equal in number to the number of branch slots disposed in said branch slots, with one branch tube in a branch slot, each branch tube being connected to the trunk tube on a first end and extending from the trunk tube towards one or the other side surface, said branch tubes being connected to said trunk tube to permit fluid flow from the branch tubes to the trunk tube; female tubing connector means attached to one end of said trunk tube and a second end of each branch tube for attachment with a male connector of a solution supply tube; means attached to the other end of said trunk tube for attaching the manifold to an intravenous solution supply tube; a valve plate having a pair of generally flat inner and outer surfaces, with the inner surfaces of the manifold and valve plates abutting and attached together thereby enclosing said elongated slot and branch slots; a plurality of valves mounted in said valve plate, with each of said valves having a clamp means movable towards and away from said tubing manifold for selectively engaging and thereby closing said branch tubes and said trunk tube to prevent fluid flow therethrough; and means for releasing said clamp means to selectively permit fluid flow therethrough.
