ABSTRACT:
An IV safety module (2) is used with a peristaltic type IV pump (5) to prevent the unrestricted flow of IV fluid through an IV line (4) when the door (80) of the IV pump is open. A locking trigger (42) is pivotally mounted to the body. A spring (10) is mounted to the body and has a section (18) which compresses and collapses the IV tube closed, thus substantially halting and IV fluid flowing therethrough, as the spring biases the trigger to the tube clamped position. The safety module is mounted adjacent the pump and is configured so that closing the door of the pump depresses the trigger to open the IV tube.
