Abstract:
1. A flow control device comprising: a body having a first leg and a second leg, said legs being movable from a first spaced apart position to a second irreversibly closed position wherein one of said first and second legs terminates in an inwardly extending member having an engagement member and the other of said first and second legs terminates in a pair of parallel inwardly extending members one of which includes a first surface engaged by said engagement member when said device is in said second irreversibly closed position and the other of said pair of inwardly extending members provides a physical barrier that limits movement of said inwardly extending member having said engagement member away from said first surface and prevents disengagement of said engagement member from said engagement surface; a pair of apertures in said body for receiving a tubing segment therethrough and between said legs, at least one of said apertures being disposed within one of said inwardly extending members; and at least one tube contacting member carried by one of said legs for clamping said tubing segment when said legs are in the second irreversibly closed position, said at least one tube contacting member being spaced and separate from said inwardly extending member including said surface that is engaged by said engagement member.
