Container with pivoting tube clamp

A chamber for use in a parenteral fluid administration set comprising:

• a chamber body;
• an end cap positioned on an end of the chamber body, the end cap having an inlet port therein and a first pivot element, the inlet port being spaced from the first pivot element;
• and
• a flow adjusting tube clamp including a body portion having a second pivot element engageable with the first pivot element, the body portion including an elongated tube receiving opening formed therein, the opening being in spaced relation to the second pivot element so as to lie at a radial distance from the second pivot element, the opening having a generally dog-bone shape defining first and second spaced apart large areas contiguous with an occluding portion having a narrow cross-sectional area connecting the large areas, wherein the body portion is positioned on the cap with the first and second pivot elements engaging one another and with the opening overlying the cap inlet port.

A chamber for use in a parenteral fluid administration set comprising:

• a cylindrical chamber body;
• a circular end cap positioned on an end of the chamber body, the end cap having two inlet ports therein and a first pivot element eccentrically positioned thereon, the inlet ports being spaced from one another and from the first pivot element;
• and
• a flow adjusting tube clamp including a body portion having a second pivot element engageable with the first pivot element, the body portion including first and second elongated, arcuate tube receiving openings formed therein, the first and second openings being spaced from one another and from the second pivot element so as to lie at first and second radial distances from the second pivot element, the first opening having a dog-bone shape including substantially identical first and second large, open areas connected to one another by a narrow, channel-like occluding portion and the second opening including an elongated, large, open area contiguous with a narrow, channel-like occluding portion, wherein the body portion is positioned on the cap with the first and second pivot elements engaging one another and with the first and second openings overlying the cap inlet ports, and wherein one of the first opening large, open cross-sectional areas and the first opening occluding portion are aligned with the second opening large, open cross-sectional area relative to the pivot elements, and the other of the first opening large, open cross-sectional areas is aligned with the second opening occluding portion.
