A peristaltic pump includes a plurality of occlusion surfaces and a
plurality of rotors. The plurality of occlusion surfaces include a first
occlusion surface and a second occlusion surface. The plurality of rotors
includes a first rotor configured to be rotated about an axis and
carrying a first set of occluding surfaces and a second rotor configured
to be rotated about the axis and carrying a second set of occluding
surfaces. The first set of occluding surfaces and the second set of
occluding surfaces have a staggered pitch.
