Abstract
A roller clamp assembly for adjusting the fluid flow rate in a flexible infusion tube is provided. The roller clamp assembly includes a housing to receive the flexible tube, a plate slideably engaged with the housing and configured to rapidly compress the flexible tube to provide a coarse fluid flow adjustment, and a roller wheel moveable engaged with the housing and configured to provide a gradual fluid flow adjustment. The plate may be a slide plate received by grooves in an exterior wall of the housing, where the plate moves orthogonally to the flexible tube, or the plate may be a shim plate that moves along an interior wall of the housing in parallel to the flexible tube. Infusion sets and methods of adjusting fluid flow rates are also provided.
