ABSTRACT:
The disposable ambulatory infusion pump assembly includes a line through which there is a restricted flow of fluid from a pump to a T- or Y-Site connector. The flow is sufficient to keep the vein of a patient opened, for example, using a flow rate of 0.5 cubic centimeters per hour. A second line is disposed in parallel to the first line to convey fluid from the pump to the T-connector at a higher flow rate and a clamp is provided for opening and closing the second line. Opening of the clamp permits the line to the T-connector to be primed when desired. Opening of the clamp also permits flushing of the T-connector and following lines after injection of a medication dose through the injection port of the T-connector. A restrictor may also be disposed in the line with a valve actuator to move the restrictor from a valve seat in the line to allow a greater flow of fluid about the restrictor than through the restrictor.
