ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Manifolds are disclosed for introducing fluid into the human body and removing fluid there- from. The fluid removing manifolds include a plural- ity of separately valved containers sealed to the manifold. Each container is filled in series via the manifold and the associated valve is closed before the container is removed from the manifold for disposal. Thus, a closed drainage system is provided. The fluid introducing manifolds include a plurality of separately valved input ports. Prefer- ably, each port is used only once to reduce contamina- tion of the manifold and associated infection. In each case, the port is kept closed until it is coupled to a source of fluid, and it is reclosed before the source of fluid is disconnected from the port. In this way, contamination is further reduced. Both the multiple input port feature and the multiple container feature of the invention are incorporated in manifolds for use with peritoneal dialysis.
