摘要:
Occlusion assemblies facilitating occlusion of flexible tubing are disclosed. Occlusion assemblies may be associated with or form part of a medical infusion device and may facilitate fluid handling by such devices. Occlusion assemblies may position and immobilize tubing. Occlusion assemblies comprise a tubing occluder constructed and positioned to apply a force to tube(s) to occlude the tubes. Occlusion assemblies may be configured to include a single tube in certain cases, and in other cases to occlude multiple tubes, whether an odd number of tubes or an even number of tubes. Occlusion assemblies may include automatic actuators and in certain cases also include a manual actuator to provide an override function. Occlusion assemblies may include safety features, for example, to prevent a release of occlusion force on the tubing and/or convenience features, for example a retainer mechanism to hold the tube occluder in a non-occluding position.
