Systems and methods for sealing and venting a septum of an intravenous catheter device. Implementations of the present invention include a compact, molded septum that is retained within an inner lumen of a catheter adapter such that slowed or stopped flow of air and/or a fluid is permitted to pass between the compact septum and an inner wall surface of the catheter adapter via one or more fluid pathways. In some instances, a snap ring is provided to secure the position of the compact septum within the catheter adapter, a fluid pathway being provided through the snap ring.

1. An intravenous catheter assembly comprising: a catheter adapter having an inner surface forming a lumen, the inner surface including a distal ledge; and a septum having a proximal end, a distal end forming a distal membrane, and an outer surface, an outer portion of a surface of the distal membra
1. An intravenous catheter assembly comprising: a catheter adapter having an inner surface forming a lumen, the inner surface including a distal ledge; and a septum having a proximal end, a distal end forming a distal membrane, and an outer surface, an outer portion of a surface of the distal membrane forming a seal with the distal ledge of the catheter adapter thereby creating a distal chamber and a proximal chamber within the lumen, the septum comprising one or more non-sealing centering ribs that extend along a length of the outer surface to space the outer surface of the septum from the inner surface of the catheter adapter; the septum further comprising one or more fluid pathways, each fluid pathway comprising a recess formed into the surface of the distal membrane from an inner portion of the surface of the distal membrane along the outer portion of the surface of the distal membrane and to the outer surface of the septum thereby allowing fluid or air within the distal chamber to bypass the seal formed between the outer portion of the surface of the distal membrane and the distal ledge and flow around the outer surface of the septum and into the proximal chamber. 2. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising a snap ring having a first surface that is in contact with an inner surface of the catheter adapter, and further comprising a second surface that is in contact with the septum. 3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the outer portion of the surface of the distal membrane of the septum is chamfered. 4. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the distal ledge of the catheter adapter is chamfered. 5. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the one or more fluid pathways comprise a plurality of fluid pathways. 6. The assembly of claim 2, wherein the recess of each fluid pathway passes through the snap ring. 7. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the distal ledge comprises a vertical front face distal ledge and the distal membrane comprises a planar membrane. 8. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the distal ledge comprises a lip that extends in a proximal direction and the outer portion of the surface of the distal membrane extends in a distal direction. 9. An intravenous catheter assembly comprising: a catheter adapter having an inner surface forming a lumen, the inner surface holding a distal ledge; and a septum having a proximal end, a distal end forming a distal membrane, and an outer surface, an outer portion of a surface of the distal membrane forming a seal with the distal ledge of the catheter adapter and the outer surface of the septum forming a seal with the inner surface of the catheter adapter thereby creating a distal chamber and a proximal chamber within the lumen, the septum comprising one or more fluid pathways, each fluid pathway comprising a recess formed into the surface of the distal membrane and the outer surface of the septum, the recess extending radially along the surface of the distal membrane from an inner portion of the surface of the distal membrane along the outer portion of the surface of the distal membrane and the outer surface of the septum to the proximal end of the septum thereby allowing fluid or air within the distal chamber to bypass the seal formed between the outer portion of the surface of the distal membrane and the distal ledge and the seal formed between the outer surface of the septum and the inner surface of the catheter adapter and flow into the proximal chamber. 10. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the outer surface of the septum and the inner surface of the catheter adapter are chamfered. 11. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the one or more fluid pathways comprise a plurality of fluid pathways. 12. An intravenous catheter assembly comprising: a catheter adapter having an inner surface forming a lumen, the inner surface including a distal ledge; and a septum having a proximal end, a distal end forming a distal membrane, and an outer surface, an outer portion of a surface of the distal membrane forming a seal with the distal ledge of the catheter adapter thereby creating a distal chamber and a proximal chamber within the lumen, the septum further comprising one or more fluid pathways, each fluid pathway comprising a recess formed into the surface of the distal membrane that extends radially along the surface of the distal membrane from an inner portion of the surface of the distal membrane along the outer portion of the surface of the distal membrane and to the outer surface of the septum thereby allowing fluid or air within the distal chamber to bypass the seal formed between the outer portion of the surface of the distal membrane and the distal ledge and flow around the outer surface of the septum and into the proximal chamber. 13. The assembly of claim 11, wherein the septum further comprising one or more non-sealing centering ribs that extend along a length of the outer surface to space the outer surface of the septum from the inner surface of the catheter adapter. 14. The assembly of claim 12, wherein the septum further comprises one or more bumps that are positioned on the outer surface of the septum to space the outer surface from the inner surface of the catheter adapter. 15. The assembly of claim 12, wherein the distal ledge and the outer portion of the surface of the distal membrane are chamfered. 16. The assembly of claim 12, wherein the distal ledge comprises a lip that extends in a proximal direction and the outer portion of the surface of the distal membrane extends in a distal direction.
