Estimating the term…
A dampening device includes a housing including an inlet and an outlet, and a section of compliant tubing extending through the housing between the inlet and the outlet. A first portion of the housing is movable relative to a second portion of the housing to vary fluid flow characteristics within the section of compliant tubing. A dampening device includes a housing defining an interior volume, wherein the housing includes an inlet and an outlet, and an actuation mechanism configured to change the interior volume thereby changing fluid flow characteristics through the housing. A method of smoothing a pulsatile fluid flow includes coupling the dampening device to an inflow line, activating the fluid pump, wherein the section of compliant tubing expands within the housing to smooth out the pulsatile fluid flow, and selectively moving a first portion of the housing relative to a second portion to vary fluid flow characteristics.
A dampening device for use with a fluid management system comprising a fluid pump producing a pulsatile fluid flow, comprising:
