Abstract

A peristaltic pump disclosed herein includes a raceway, a plunger, a motor, and a heater. The raceway is configured to retain a tube (e.g., an IV tube). The plunger acts on the tube disposed within the raceway. The motor engages the plunger to actuate the plunger. The heater is disposed in thermal-conductive contact with the tube. That is, the heater, either through direct or indirect application, heats the tube.

Claims (28)

1 . A peristaltic pump, comprising:

a plunger configured to act on a tube;

a heater configured to heat the tube; and

a rocker arm coupled to the plunger, wherein the heater is disposed between the rocker arm and the plunger on a back of the plunger, the back of the plunger being at an opposite side of the plunger away from the tube.

2 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 1 , further comprising a temperature sensor disposed on the plunger.

3 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 2 , wherein the temperature sensor is a thermister.

4 . The peristaltic pump of according to claim 2 , wherein the temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of the tube disposed within a raceway.

5 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 2 , wherein the temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of the heater.

6 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 2 , wherein the temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of the plunger.

7 . The peristaltic pump of according to claim 1 , wherein the heater is disposed within a raceway and is configured to heat the tube retained within the raceway.

8 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 1 , wherein a raceway is disposed on a door.

9 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a heater controller configured to control heating of the heater; and

a temperature sensor configured to sense heat generated by the heater.

10 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 9 , wherein the heater controller is configured to control the heater to achieve a temperature when the peristaltic pump is programmed to operate beyond a threshold flow rate.

11 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 9 , wherein the heater controller is configured to activate the heater when a predetermined type of tube is loaded.

12 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 9 , wherein the heater controller is configured to set a temperature based upon a loaded set within a raceway.

13 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 9 , wherein the heater controller is configured to set a target temperature based upon a set loaded.

14 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 13 , further comprising a user interface, wherein the set loaded is determined based upon user input into the user interface.

15 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 1 , wherein a controller is coupled to the heater to control operation of the peristaltic pump.

16 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of heaters including the heater, wherein each of the plurality of heaters is in thermal-conductive contact with the tube.

17 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 16 , wherein the heater of the plurality of heaters is disposed on the plunger of the peristaltic pump.

18 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 1 , further comprising an insulator disposed adjacent to the heater, the insulator being configured to direct thermal flow from the heater toward the tube.

19 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 18 , wherein the heater is disposed on the plunger and the insulator is disposed on at least a side of the heater opposite to a side facing the tube.

20 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 1 , further comprising a controller operatively coupled to the heater, wherein the controller operatively sends a plurality of current pulses to the heater to heat the heater.

21 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to heat the heater to a temperature.

22 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 21 , wherein the temperature is selected in accordance with a plurality of tube types.

23 . The peristaltic pump according to claim 1 , wherein the plunger is a spring-biased plunger configured to use a spring to urge a volume of fluid to be discharged by the plunger, wherein a delta movement of the plunger from a full fill volume to a full discharge volume is correlated to an estimated fluid discharge volume.
