Claim:
A disposable manual irrigation pump system comprising: a manual foot pump configured to be coupled to a fluid reservoir and an intraprocedural device, the foot pump being configured to draw fluid from the fluid reservoir into the foot pump to substantially fill the foot pump as the foot pump moves from a deformed state to an un-deformed state; a first one-way valve disposed between the foot pump and the reservoir; a first liquid supply tube disposed between the pump and the reservoir and a second liquid supply tube disposed between the pump and the intraprocedural device; a connector configured to couple an end of the first liquid supply tube and an end of the second liquid supply tube to the pump; wherein the pump system is configured to provide a substantially continuous fluid supply at a desired flow rate from the fluid reservoir to the intraprocedural device along a first direction and the one-way valve is configured to prevent backflow of fluid along a direction opposite the first direction; wherein the connector is a Y-connector having one opening coupled to the first liquid supply tube, one opening coupled to the second liquid supply tube, and one opening coupled to the pump; and wherein the pump includes a single opening, the single opening being connected to the Y-connector.
