Abstract
This disclosure relates to symmetric tubing clamps for blood treatment systems and related systems and methods. In some aspects, a tubing clamp includes a resilient body that has symmetry with respect to a first plane with a normal along a longitudinal axis of the resilient body, the resilient body comprising a sidewall defining an opening such that a tubing is arrangeable through the opening along the longitudinal axis of the resilient body; first and second snap-fit features configured to engage with each other when the resilient body is compressed along a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis; and a protrusion configured to constrict the tubing when the resilient body is compressed along the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis.
