Patent number: 11898546Abstract: A tubing assembly is provided that can comprise a plurality of tubes or lumens that can be disposed within a head of a peristaltic pump. The tubing assembly can provide a flow rate or volume capacity that is generally equal to or greater than that achieved with a comparable prior art tube while operating at higher pressures than that possible using the prior art tube. Further, in accordance with some embodiments, the tubing assembly can achieve a longer working life than a comparable prior art tube, and the load on the pump motor can be reduced such that the pump life is increased and/or a larger pump motor is not required to achieve such advantageous results.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2023Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Blue-White Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Robert Gledhill, III, John Nguyen, Steven Lee Smith
