Abstract
An infusion regulation system for regulating, monitoring, and control of the intravenous infusion of fluids into an animate body. A delivery tube receives and diverges from a fluid supply inlet tube and converges to deliver fluid to an outlet tube to the cannula. A transverse, intermediately positioned volume control tube having a movable control member therein is ported to said divaricated delivery tube. Regulated valve members operate in diagonally paired tandem fashion to control and restrict the flow through the system in an alternating and traverse course. Means for monitoring instantaneous flow through the tubing network allow resistance/pressure changes to be noted and acted upon, either with clinical alarms or through servo mechanisms. Means for selectively increasing the infusate driving pressure allow servo controlled high pressure infusions as well as low pressure, gravity driven infusions.
