An occlusion assembly for compressing a pair of collapsible tubes comprises an occluding member for each tube. Each occluding member is forced into an occluding position by a spreader positioned within a space between the occluding members that slides along a side of each occluding member causing a tube-contacting portion of each occluding member to compress the collapsible tubes. A main spring may be included that urges the spreader toward the distal ends of the occluding members and into an occluding position. The spreader may be moved against the biasing force of the main spring into a non-occluding position near the proximal ends of the occluding members either manually through a button and linkage assembly coupled to the spreader, or by an automatic actuator coupled to the spreading element.
