    • A system for controlling fluid flow through multiple conduits for use in a fluid administration device. The system includes a housing, a cam, and a control element used to move the cam to selectively occlude the conduits. When used with a medical burette, the cam is located between the vent and supply conduits and rotates to alternately occlude one or the other conduits or to leave both conduits patent. Depending on the rotational position of the cam, the continuous flow mode, the intermittent flow mode, and the priming mode are all obtained with a single control lever. The housing secures the conduits in predetermined, fixed positions both above and below the contact location of the cam to the conduit. A positive locking device is included to assist in locating the cam in the desired position. Clear visual indicators are included on the housing for viewing the present flow operating state.

    • A system for increasing the volumetric flow uniformity of fluid pumped through a conduit by an infusion pump. A pumping mechanism operates in identifiable step movements that are broken down into microstep movements that are then grouped into packets. The pumping mechanism controls the period of each microstep, so that the sum of the microstep periods in a packet is essentially equal to the packet period, with little or no waiting time on the motor. The motor preferably begins moving the assigned microsteps in each packet immediately upon the beginning of the time period, but controls the period of the microsteps for that packet.

    • Flow parameters in a fluid delivery assembly are determined by monitoring pressure responses and processing those responses along with information regarding the fluid flow. In one aspect, a processor controls the pump to pump flow quantities in accordance with a pseudorandom code. Portions of the resulting pressure signal sensed at the conduit is averaged, and the averaged values are then decoded in accordance with the pseudorandom code. An estimate of the equilibrium pressure is generated from the decoded average pressure values, while a summation of the pressure samples is generated from the undecoded pressure signals. The resistance to fluid flow of the system is determined from the estimated equilibrium pressure and pressure summation. For low flow rates, a processor controls the pump to pump fluid in a series of fluid boluses, with each fluid bolus delivered in the beginning of a separate timeslot. The equilibrium pressure is measured at the end of each timeslot, and a summation of the pressure samples is generated from the pressure signals. For high flow rates, the pump is controlled to vary the flow rate and the change in pressure is divided by the change in flow to directly determine the resistance. A resistance display continuously displays the resistance of the system. The pseudorandom coding and decoding can be used to filter out pressure-response crosstalk caused by multiple fluid infusion segments feeding into a common line.

    • A pressure waveform monitor for non-invasively monitoring the pressure waveform inside a vessel, such as an artery, includes a flexible diaphragm extended across an opening of a container containing a fluid. The flexible diaphragm is placed against tissue surrounding an artery such that arterial pressure causes a deflection in the diaphragm. A deflection in the diaphragm causes the fluid to be redistributed throughout the container which is effectively divided into an array of volume compartments. The relative volume distribution is determined through impedance plethysmography. The diaphragm is maintained in a calibrated position by maintaining the array of volume compartments at relatively unchanged volumes. When the relative volumes remain essentially unchanged, calibrated tonometry is possible. The pressure within the container is then used to determine the pulse waveform and the pressure within the artery.

    • A method, for use in a non-invasive blood pressure monitoring system, of determining which portion of a stress sensitive element of a tissue stress sensor is best located for detecting the stress of tissue overlying an artery of interest. The tissue stress sensor is placed in communication with tissue overlying the artery of interest and a plurality of electrical signals are obtained therefrom representing stress data across the length of the stress sensitive element. Each electrical signal represents stress datum communicated to a predetermined portion of the stress sensitive element. From the stress datum, a centroid of energy is computed and the centroid of energy is used to determine which portion of the stress sensitive element is best located for determining the blood pressure within the artery of interest. A second method is disclosed which uses the centroid of a tissue foundation flexibility function to determine the best location along the stress sensitive element for determining blood pressure.
