Abstract
An internal bladder agitator member(s), which are free to travel in the retained fluid when the bladders are in the filled state. When the bladders are not inflated, the agitator member(s) take up some of the free internal space of the bladder core, resulting in reduced retained fluid volume at the end of an infusion cycle. The free floating bladder agitator member(s) act in the dual role of elastomeric bladder support member(s) and agitator/mixer(s).
