摘要 |
This invention discloses a peristaltic pump composed of a two-stage linear peristaltic pump mechanism, which engages in different functions, charging and pumping a fluid to a patient. This peristaltic pump is capable of restoring the crushed tubing, caused by repeated compression or crushing of the tubing by peristaltic fingers, to its original circular cross sectional area so that it can provide a precise flow rate. The two-stage linear peristaltic pump mechanism substantially improves the consistency of a flow rate over time and extends the usefulness of peristaltic pumps to applications where they could not otherwise be used.
