A pressure regulator includes a first chamber having an inlet opening for fluidly connecting to a first pressure source; a second chamber having an outlet opening for supplying a regulated pressure to a regulated site; a third chamber having a pressure opening for connecting to a second pressure source; and a flexible membrane fluidly isolating the third chamber from both of the first and second chambers, wherein the flexible membrane is movable by the pressure source between a first position in which the flexible membrane fluidly isolates the first chamber from the second chamber and a second position in which the first and second chambers are fluidly connected.

Fluid management systems and methods

Fluid management systems are disclosed that include software-controlled, electro-mechanical devices used in combination with single-use or multi-use tubing sets. Functions of the fluid management systems can include fluid pressurization, fluid warming, fluid deficit monitoring (including flow-based and weight-based), suction, fluid collection, and fluid evacuation (including indirect-to-drain and direct-to-drain options). The systems can be configured based on the surgical environment (e.g., operating room or physician office) as well as other user needs and/or preferences.
