<p>An engineered pumping segment (10) for facilitating efficient and accurate peristaltic pumping of fluids, providing regulation of fluid flow and providing an effective interface for sensing fluid line pressure in a peristaltic pump system. The engineered pumping segment includes an elastomeric membrane sandwiched between a rigid base (14) and a rigid cover (16) and a slider (18) adapted to slidably mount about the base and cover. The membrane and base define a channel for fluid flow, and the membrane, base and cover cooperate to facilitate peristaltic pumping of fluids through the engineered pumping segment and to provide pressure sensing interface, and in combination with the slider, cooperate to regulate fluid flow.</p> |
