Abstract
A peristaltic pump can include radially movable lobes () to selectively contact a pump conduit () to drive fluid flow or permit free flow through the conduit. Lobes can be caused to move radially outwardly to engage a pump conduit in response to forward and reverse drive rotations of the lobes and/or a carrier () on which the lobes are mounted. Lobes can be contacted by a drive element () to move the lobes radially outwardly and to drive pump operation.
