Abstract

Peristaltic pump assemblies in which the closing and opening of a pivoting or sliding door is coordinated with movement of the occlusion bed toward and away from the rotor assembly to engage and disengage tubing within the occlusion pathway are disclosed. Linkage mechanisms provided by the interaction of cam surfaces with rollers, as well as bar linkage mechanisms, are disclosed. The linkage mechanism, in addition to providing precise displacement of the occlusion bed, may also provide an over-center feature that enhances safety and pump operation when the door is in a closed position. Latching mechanisms and sensors may be incorporated. Control consoles incorporating such peristaltic pump assemblies are described. Adaptive components such as tubing cassettes routing aspiration and/or infusion tubing in a predetermined configuration to mate with occlusion pathways in aspiration and/or infusion pump assemblies provided in various types of medical devices and control consoles are also provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An adaptive tubing cassette for use in connection with an interventional catheter assembly, comprising:
a handle component having an interface region adapted to mount stably in a mating interface region of a control console;
a first preformed tubing section and a second preformed tubing section, each of the preformed tubing sections being in the form of a loop, mounted to and extending from a common side of the handle component, the first and second preformed tubing sections being adapted to mount stably in tubing receiving pathways provided in connection with the control console; wherein the first preformed tubing section is configured to withstand a higher burst pressure than the second preformed tubing section.

2. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first or the second preformed tubing sections includes an infusion tubing section and is designed to withstand infusate rates of up to 150 ml/min.

3. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first or the second preformed tubing sections includes an infusion tubing section and is designed to withstand infusate pressures of up to 160 psi.

4. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first or the second preformed tubing section includes an aspiration tubing section and is designed to withstand aspiration rates of up to 90 ml/min.

5. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first or the second preformed tubing section includes an aspiration tubing section and is designed to withstand aspiration pressures of up to 25 psi.

6. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 1 , wherein the first preformed tubing section includes a first flexibility and wherein the second preformed tubing section includes a second flexibility, and wherein the first flexibility is different than the second flexibility.

7. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 1 , wherein a width of the first preformed tubing loop is less than a width of the second preformed tubing loop.

8. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 1 , wherein the first preformed tubing loop has a larger outer diameter than the second preformed tubing loop.

9. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 1 , wherein the first preformed tubing loop extends a greater distance from an edge of the handle component than the second preformed tubing loop.

10. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the preformed tubing sections is capable of withstanding infusate rates of up to 150 ml/min at infusate pressures of up to 160 psi.

11. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 1 , wherein the first preformed tubing loop includes a first material and wherein the second preformed tubing loop includes a second material, and wherein the first material is different than the second material.

12. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 1 , wherein the first preformed tubing loop includes a first tubing wall thickness, and wherein the second preformed tubing loop includes a second tubing wall thickness, and wherein the first tubing wall thickness is different from the second tubing wall thickness.

13. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 12 , wherein the first tubing wall thickness is greater than the second tubing wall thickness.

14. An adaptive tubing cassette for use in connection with an interventional catheter assembly, comprising:
a handle component having an interface region;
a first preformed tubing section and a second preformed tubing section, each of the first and second preformed tubing sections extending from the handle component, the first and second preformed tubing sections being configured to be disposed within a control console;
wherein the first preformed tubing section has a first burst pressure, and wherein the second preformed tubing section has a second burst pressure different from the first burst pressure.

15. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 14 , wherein the first preformed tubing section includes a first flexibility and wherein the second preformed tubing section includes a second flexibility, and wherein the first flexibility is different than the second flexibility.

16. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 14 , wherein the first preformed tubing section includes a first material and wherein the second preformed tubing section includes a second material, and wherein the first material is different than the second material.

17. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 14 , wherein the first preformed tubing section includes a first tubing wall thickness, and wherein the second preformed tubing section includes a second tubing wall thickness, and wherein the first tubing wall thickness is different from the second tubing wall thickness.

18. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 14 , wherein a width of the first preformed tubing section is less than a width of the second preformed tubing section.

19. The adaptive tubing cassette of claim 14 , wherein the first preformed tubing section has a larger outer diameter than the second preformed tubing section.

20. A peristaltic pump system, comprising:
a control console having an infusion system and an aspiration system;
an adaptive tubing cassette including a handle member, an infusion tube, and an aspiration tube, wherein the infusion tube and the aspiration tube extend from the handle member;
wherein the adaptive tubing cassette is designed to engage a receiving region of the infusion system and a receiving region of the aspiration system;
wherein the receiving region of the infusion system is designed to accept the infusion tube, and wherein the infusion tube has a first burst strength; and
wherein the receiving region of the aspiration system is designed to accept the aspiration tube, and wherein the aspiration tube has a second burst strength different from the first burst strength.
