W. Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassA61M 1/36 (20060101)AbstractA prepackaged, self-contained fluid circuit module is selectively movable by an operator into and out of operative association with one or more pump rotors. The module includes a housing which supports two or more flexible conduits, which together define a prearranged fluid circuit. Portions of the flexible fluid conduits are outwardly disposed from the housing in upright, freestanding positions, even when the module is out of operative association with the pump rotors. The upright portions are purposely arranged relative to each other to facilitate only a particular operative relationship between the fluid circuit and the pump rotors when the module is subsequently moved into operative association therewith. | |
