1. A fluid management system comprising:

  • a primary fluid container;

    a secondary fluid container;

    a sterile fluid disposed in said primary fluid container for transfer to said secondary fluid container;

    a fluid flow input line connecting said primary and secondary fluid containers;

    a fluid flow control member provided in the fluid flow input line between said primary and secondary fluid containers to interrupt fluid flow from said primary to said secondary fluid container;

    a one way fluid flow control device disposed in the fluid flow input line between the primary fluid container and the fluid flow control member to prevent fluid return from the secondary fluid container to the primary fluid container thereby providing a sterile barrier for the primary fluid container;

    at least one external fluid flow control member provided on the fluid flow input line for controlling fluid flow through the one-way fluid flow control from the primary fluid container to the secondary fluid container and operable to terminate fluid flow;

    a disconnect member in the fluid input line engageable with the one way fluid flow control device thereby enabling the disconnection of the primary fluid container from the secondary fluid container without loss of fluid; and

    a sterile cap engaging the disconnect to preserve the sterile barrier for the primary fluid container thus to permit the use of the single container of fluid held in the primary fluid container in a second procedure with another secondary fluid container, thus to minimize waste and to maintain sterility in the primary fluid container.
