Abstract: An IV blood set foot pump includes a base plate, a squeezing plate movably coupled to the base plate by a pivot member and a biasing member coupled to the base plate and the squeezing plate. The biasing member is configured to exert a biasing force against the squeezing plate when the biasing member is in a compressed state. One of the base plate and the squeezing plate comprises a cavity configured to receive an IV pump bulb. IV sets with IV blood set foot pumps and methods of operating IV blood set foot pumps are also provided.

Abstract: An IV bag wringer includes a frame defining a frame opening and multiple roller assemblies disposed within the frame opening. Each roller assembly includes a shaft coupled to the frame and a roller coupled to the shaft. Two opposing rollers are positioned to receive an IV fluid bag in a gap between the rollers such that the IV bag wringer hangs on the IV fluid bag. The weight of the IV bag wringer moves it downward along the IV fluid bag so that the opposing rollers squeeze fluid out of the IV fluid bag at a rate greater than a gravity flow rate from the IV fluid bag alone. Hand cranked IV bag wringers, motor actuated IV bag wringers and methods of operating IV bag wringers are also provided.
