Abstract:
1. A feeding set for a peristaltic pump system comprising: a cassette configured for releasable connection to the pump system and having a deflectable lumen priming actuator formed integrally with the cassette for conjoint connection to and disconnection from the pump system with the cassette as a single unit, the priming actuator including an actuation pad and being moveable from a rest position to a deflected position; a substantially flexible lumen coupled to the cassette, the lumen having an inlet, an outlet, and an extensible peristalsis loop; an inline valve received within the lumen, the inline valve being arranged to obstruct fluid flow through the lumen; wherein the actuation pad of the priming actuator is located proximate the inline valve in the rest position, the actuation pad being adapted to contact and apply a force to the lumen adjacent the inline valve when the priming actuator is moved to the deflected position, the force applied to the lumen being sufficient to establish at least one flow channel between the inline valve and the lumen.
