1. A system comprising an extraction device and a syringe receptacle device for collecting a liquid from the extraction device, the syringe receptacle device comprising:
a cylindrical barrel having an inner circumferential surface extending between opposite first and second ends, wherein the first end of the barrel includes an external threading that is adapted to be removably coupled to the extraction device;
a cap attachment adapted to be removably coupled to the first end of the barrel, the cap attachment comprises:
a cylindrical rim extending between a first end and a second end, the cylindrical rim includes an internal threading to couple the cap attachment with the external threading on the barrel; and
a face extending across the first end of the cylindrical rim, the face comprises a flexible elastomeric nipple including a tip end, a sealed opening at the tip end adapted to be opened in response to a sucking action on the sealed opening, a base end coupled to the cylindrical rim, and an air inlet at the base end between the sealed opening and the first end of the cylindrical rim, the air inlet is offset from a longitudinal axis extending through the sealed opening and each of the first end and the second end of the barrel, the air inlet allowing air to flow through the air inlet when liquid flows through the sealed opening, and
a plunger slidably coupled to the barrel, wherein the plunger comprises:
a plunger head frictionally engaging the inner circumferential surface of the barrel; and
an actuating rod fixedly attached to the plunger head, wherein the actuating rod extends through the second end of the barrel, and
the extraction device comprises:
a suction device connector, the suction device connector removably coupleable to a source of suction;
a breast pump connector coupled to the suction device connector; and
a collection device connector extending from the suction device connector and including internal threading for threadably coupling to the external threading of the barrel.
