FLUID ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM, VALVE, AND METHOD OF ADMINISTERING FLUID

摘要

A fluid administration system includes a fluid pump, main tubing connected between a fluid storage container and an input of the fluid pump to supply main fluid to the fluid pump, and secondary tubing. A valve device is located along the secondary tubing. The valve device includes a fluid flow constriction device configured to allow fluid flow through the secondary tubing in an “open” position and to prevent fluid flow through the secondary tubing when in a “closed” position and a user-control device configured to control a position of the fluid flow constriction device between the “open” position and the “closed” position. The valve device includes a user feedback device configured to display an open and closed state of the fluid flow constriction device with a color code, having a first color representing the “open” position and a second color representing the “closed” position.

1. A fluid administration system, comprising:
a fluid pump; main tubing connected between a fluid storage container and an input of the fluid pump to supply main fluid to the fluid pump; secondary tubing connected between a second fluid storage and the main tubing to supply a secondary fluid to the main fluid upstream of the fluid pump; and a valve device located along the secondary tubing, the valve device comprising: a fluid flow constriction device configured to allow fluid flow through the secondary tubing in an “open” position and to prevent fluid flow through the secondary tubing when in a “closed” position; a user-control device configured to control a position of the fluid flow constriction device between the “open” position and the “closed” position; and a user feedback device configured to display an open and closed state of the fluid flow constriction device with a color code, having a first color representing the “open” position and a second color representing the “closed” position.
