The invention claimed is: 1. A medical device, comprising:A vascular access device, including a housing defining an internal cavity, and a septum;an air flow channel penetrating the housing and providing continuous gaseous communication between the internal cavity and an external environment;a vent in communication with the internal cavity;a vent plug, which is impermeable to gas, attached to a gas permeable membrane, wherein the gas permeable membrane and vent plug are selectively movable from a first open position to a second closed position, wherein the gas permeable membrane is at least partially disposed within the vent in the first open position;wherein the vent is capable of venting a gas from an extravascular system into the air flow channel.
