ABSTRACT:
An apparatus regulates fluid flow supplied to a patient through an intravenous infusion system. The apparatus includes a first fluid passageway, a second fluid passageway, an inlet, and a control device. The first fluid passageway is for discharging fluid therefrom at a first predetermined rate of flow. The second fluid passageway is for discharging fluid therefrom at a second predetermined rate of flow, wherein the second predetermined rate of flow is different than the first predetermined rate of flow. The inlet is in flow communication with the first and second fluid passageways. The control device is between the inlet and the first and second fluid passageways, and is variably positionable for controlling fluid flow into the first and second fluid passageways.
