A peristaltic micropump include a plurality of channels, each channel being flexible, having a middle channel portion, and being operably in fluidic communications with a first port and a second port, and the middle channel portions of the plurality of channels being arranged in one or more concentric circles; and an actuator comprising a bearing assembly driven by a motor, the bearing assembly comprising a plurality of rolling members and a bearing accommodating member for accommodating the plurality of rolling members, the actuator being positioned in relation to the plurality of channels such that when the bearing accommodating member rotates, the plurality of rolling members rolls along the one or more concentric circles of the middle channel portions of the plurality of channels to cause individually fluids to transfer between the first port and the second port of each of the plurality of channels simultaneously at different flowrates.

In one aspect of the invention, the fluidic device includes a fluidic chip includes a body having a first surface and an opposite, second surface, one or more channels formed in the body in fluidic communications with input ports and output ports for transferring one or more fluids between the input ports and the output ports, and a fluidic chip registration means formed on the first surface for aligning the fluidic chip with a support structure; and an actuator configured to engage with the one or more channels at the second surface of the body for selectively and individually transferring the one or more fluids through the one or more channels from at least one of the input ports to at least one of the output ports at desired flowrates.

A system for a surgical system is disclosed, comprising a system for distributing fluid in a surgical cassette, comprising a first pump head operable by a first drive shaft and a second pump head operable by a second drive shaft, wherein the second drive shaft is at least partially enclosed by the first drive shaft.

A pump cartridge for mounting on a drive rotor includes a roller assembly having first and second hubs maintained in a spaced apart relationship and defining an axis, and a plurality of planetary rollers arranged in a circumferentially spaced orientation about the axis, the rollers mounted to the hubs displacement radially outward. One or more compressible tubing lines are interposed between the rollers and an interior wall of the pump cartridge housing. The housing and the first and second hubs collectively define a passageway through which a spreader on the drive rotor extends and may be rotated relative to the roller assembly to displace the rollers radially outward to thereby compress the tubing lines against the interior wall. A coupling feature on the first hub engages a roller driving feature of the rotor, so that rotation of the rotor causes rotation of the roller assembly about the axis.

A pumping apparatus 1 for dispensing a flowable product comprises first and second peristaltic pumps 12, 14. The first peristaltic pump 12 comprises a first rotor 18 having at least one pressing member 20, a first cylindrical stator 19 in which the first rotor 18 is rotatable and first flexible tubing 30 extending circumferentially around the first stator 19 against a first inner wall 19a. The second peristaltic pump 14 comprises a second rotor 42 having at least one pressing member 46, a second cylindrical stator 44 in which the second rotor 42 is rotatable and second flexible tubing 54 extending circumferentially around the second stator 44 against a second inner wall 44a. The first and second inner walls 19a, 44a each have a first and second radius r1, r2 respectively with the first radius r1 being greater than the second radius r2, and at least one of the stators 19, 44 is movable relative to the other stator 19, 44.

Provided in the present disclosure are a controller, a method for controlling controller, learning device, and a storage medium. Correct/incorrect determination of a transfusion tube is efficiently performed during a changeover. Motor shaft information of a driving motor, which drives an actuating portion sequentially compressing and relaxing a transfusion tube of a transfusion device, is obtained, and the correctness/incorrectness determination of the transfusion tube is performed on the basis of the motor shaft information.

A fluid handling system for a surgical procedure includes a console and a tubing set. The console exhibits a peristaltic pump, a pinch valve, one above the other. Two recessed seats are located to the left and right sides of the pump and valve. The tubing set includes an irrigation tube and an aspiration tube each coupled to a pair of magnetic disks disposable in respective ones of the recessed seats. Upon such disposition, the irrigation tube is disposable in operative engagement with the peristaltic pump and the aspiration tube is insertable into a slot of the pinch valve.

A peristaltic pump includes a rotating member operably coupled to a drive. The rotating member includes a plurality of rollers arranged in a circular configuration. A guide member defines a channel configured to direct a peristaltic tube around the rotating member so that the peristaltic tube interfaces with the plurality of rollers. The peristaltic tube is pressed against the plurality of rollers by a retaining shoe. The retaining shoe contains surface irregularities configured to restrict movement of the peristaltic tube. A keeper braces the restraining shoe against the peristaltic tube. The rotating rollers compressing the peristaltic tube against the retaining shoe as the rotating member rotates results in a peristaltic action that produces a nearly pulse free linear flow.

A cold and heat exchange system for a cardiac surgical operation with cardiac arrest, comprising: an ice water tank (15), a primary circulation water tank (11), and a secondary circulation water tank (16). Side walls of the primary circulation water tank (11) and the secondary circulation water tank (16) are each provided with an overflow orifice which is connected to the ice water tank (15) through a circulation pipe (14). A first roller pump (12) is mounted on a first hose (13). A second roller pump (18) is mounted on a second hose (17). The primary circulation water tank (11) is mounted on a first loop (5) and a second loop (6). The secondary circulation water tank (16) is mounted on a third loop (1).

A peristaltic micropump includes one or more flexible channels configured to transfer one or more pumped fluids, and an actuator configured to engage the one or more flexible channels and rotate about a central axis. The actuator includes a plurality of rolling elements and a driving element configured such that the driving element operably rotates about the central axis and each rolling element operably rolls about a respective axis that is not parallel to the central axis. The plurality of rolling elements is disposed between the one or more flexible channels and the driving element. The driving element includes a cage configured to capture the plurality of rolling elements such that the plurality of rolling elements is located at different radii from a center of the cage.
