Pressure actuated uni-directional flow control device for gravity iv sets

Abstract

A flow control device includes a housing including a primary inlet and a secondary inlet each disposed on an upper surface of the housing, and an outlet disposed on a lower surface of the housing gravitationally downstream of the primary and secondary inlets. A chamber is disposed within the housing and fluidly connects the primary and secondary inlets with the outlet. A valve member is pivotally mounted on an upper surface of the chamber, the valve member configured to pivot in response to higher fluid pressure from gravitational fluid flow through one of the primary inlet and the secondary inlet.
