Abstract: A fluid management system including a console including a roller pump and a controller for operating the roller pump. The console includes a housing and a door movable between a closed position and an open position. The roller pump is rotatable about a rotational axis during operation of the roller pump, and the rotational axis is configured to float along an arcuate pathway relative to the housing during operation of the roller pump. The roller pump is configured to pivot relative to the housing about a pivot axis during operation of the roller pump. The pivot axis is spaced apart from the rotational axis of the roller pump.

Abstract: A fluid management system including a console including a controller for operating a pump. The console includes a door movable between a closed position and an open position to access a receptacle. The fluid management system also includes a fluid cassette insertable into the receptacle of the housing of the console. The fluid cassette is positioned in the receptacle in a loaded position in which the housing of the fluid cassette lies in a vertical plane when the door is in the closed position and the housing of the fluid cassette is tilted out of the receptacle in an ejected position when the door is in the open position. The fluid cassette includes a retention tab with a lip extending from the lower edge of the fluid cassette that engages a retention tab and recess of the console to hold the fluid cassette in the ejected position.

Abstract: This building component includes a peripheral sidewall and upper and lower walls forming a casing; a core of shredded waste material and an exterior plastic skin covering the casing. The method of making the component includes the steps of filling a peripheral form with shredded waste material, closing the form at the upper and lower ends incorporating it into the component by applying a reinforced plastic binder over the closed form. A modified component has a rectangular casing formed from structural members and is provided with a braced interior core.
