    Abstract: A mounting system for mounting one or more components of an extracorporeal blood circuit to an upstanding mast provided with a pump cart. The system includes a clamp device, a primary arm, a seat, a post, and a locking mechanism. The clamp device is mountable to the mast and pivotably maintaining the primary arm. The seat defines a tapering intermediate section and is mounted to the primary arm. The post projects from the seat. Finally, the locking mechanism is configured to releasably secure an extracorporeal circuit component, otherwise located over the seat, to the primary arm. With this configuration, the extracorporeal circuit component can be selectively located and locked to the primary arm at a variety of different rotational orientations. The mounting system can further include an auxiliary arm defining a sleeve sized to be removably disposed over the seat.
