A peristaltic pump tubing system for use with a peristaltic pump roller
assembly in a surgical procedure. The system comprises a uniquely shaped
disposable cassette for retaining tubing to be used during the procedure
and a uniquely shaped cassette receiving station situated adjacent the
roller assembly. The cassette comprises a frame for holding the tube in a
loop shape for engagement with the peristaltic rollers. The frame
supports a one-sided pressure transducer to indicate the pressure within
the tube. The cassette receiving station includes a sensor for engaging
the one-sided pressure transducer and is situated adjacent the rollers of
the peristaltic pump on the pump housing. A retaining bracket cooperates
with the inherent resiliency of the tubing loop to hold the tubing in
place against the rollers.
