Abstract
A medical apparatus comprises a medical machine and a manifold assembly mounted or mountable on the medical machine. The medical machine comprises an occlusion element comprising a plunger configured to be moved between a retracted position, in which the plunger is spaced from a soft membrane of the manifold and a port of the manifold is open, and a forward position, in which the plunger accommodated in a seat of the port and the soft membrane is trapped between the plunger and the seat to close the port. The occlusion element comprises a membrane tensioner of mechanical type. The membrane tensioner is configured to raise the soft membrane away from the seat when the plunger goes back to the retracted position and to counteract a possible negative pressure tending to keep the port closed.
