Abstract: A fluid regulation system comprising a fluid source and a tube operatively connected to the source configured to deliver the fluid from the source to a site. A valve is configured to control a rate of fluid delivered from the source to the site via the tube, and a remote control unit is configured to enable a user to control the valve to adjust the rate of fluid delivered from the source to the site.

Abstract: A fluid regulation system is provided comprising a source of a fluid, a tube in communication with the source for delivering the fluid from the source to a site, and a valve for controlling the rate of fluid flow from the source to the site. A remote control unit for controlling the valve is also provided to allow the user to adjust the rate of fluid flow from the source through the tube to the site. Typically, the system excludes any means for automatically adjusting the rate of fluid flow from the source through the tube to the site. The invention is particularly useful when the valve is out of the user's reach. Also provided is a method for delivering of a fluid to a site.

Abstract: A gas regulation system is provided comprising a source of a breathable gas, a tube in communication with the source for delivering the breathable gas from the source to an individual, and a valve for controlling the rate of gas flow from the source to the individual for inhalation. A remote control unit for controlling the valve is also provided to allow the individual to adjust the rate of gas flow from the source through the tube to the individual independently from any inhalation activity by the individual. Typically, the system excludes any means for automatically adjusting the rate of gas flow from the source through the tube to the individual according to the level of physical activity of the individual. The invention is particularly useful when the valve is out of the individual's reach. Also provided is a method for delivering of a breathable gas to an individual.
