ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to reusable pressure plates designed to position tubing along a tubing support surface to facilitate peristaltic pumping of fluids from a fluid reservoir to a patient. Preferred embodiments of this invention include reinforced pump anchors to securably but releasably affix the pressure plate to the control module portion of an infusion system and cantilevered spring support to maintain pump accuracy and enabling the use of more durable materials for pressure plate manufacture.
