ABSTRACT:
A flow regulator device for intravenous tubing comprises a frame body, a notch on the frame body for attaching an intravenous tube to the frame body, and a first pressure applicator disposed on the frame body and engageable with the intravenous tube for alternately compressing and releasing the intravenous tube in a first direction of action in a first plane. A second pressure applicator is provided on the frame body for alternately compressing and releasing the intravenous tube in a second direction of action in a second plane. The second pressure applicator is disposed on the frame body in spaced relation to the first pressure applicator along a flow path of the intravenous tube and is engageable with the intravenous tube. The second direction of action (of the second pressure applicator) is oriented at a substantial angle with respect to the first direction of action, whereas the plane of action of the second pressure applicator is spaced from the plane of action of the first pressure applicator along the flow path of the intravenous tube. The flow regulator device further comprises an actuator disposed on the frame and operatively connected to the first pressure applicator and the second pressure applicator for operating the pressure applicators to vary a fluid flow cross-section in the intravenous tube.
