Patent ID: 8337466

Claim:
A manual intravenous pump comprising: an actuator housing including a manually operable member operatively connected to a first facilitating member and a second facilitating member; and a reservoir housing removably attached to the actuator housing, wherein the reservoir housing includes: a first fluid input line, having a first end and a second end, the first end configured to be operatively connected to a fluid source that is external to the actuator housing and external to the reservoir housing; a first fluid reservoir operatively connected to the second end of the first fluid input line; a second fluid input line, having a first end and a second end, the first end configured to be operatively connected to the fluid source; a second fluid reservoir operatively connected to the second end of the second fluid input line; and at least one fluid output line operatively connected to the first fluid reservoir and the second fluid reservoir, wherein the first end of the first fluid input line and the first end of the second fluid input line each remain operatively connected to the fluid source during manual actuation of the manually operable member, wherein the first facilitating member is configured to facilitate flow of a fluid from the fluid source through the first fluid reservoir during manual actuation of the manually operable member and is further configured to cease facilitating flow of a fluid from the fluid source through the first fluid reservoir substantially upon cessation of manual actuation of the manually operable member, and wherein the second facilitating member is configured to facilitate flow of a fluid from the fluid source through the second fluid reservoir during manual actuation of the manually operable member and is further configured to cease facilitating flow of a fluid from the fluid source through the second fluid reservoir substantially upon cessation of manual actuation of the manually operable member.
