Flow control apparatus
First Claim
1. A flow control apparatus comprising:
- a housing adapted to load an administration feeding set;
a means for driving fluid operatively engaged to and through said housing, said means for driving fluid adapted to load said administration feeding set and adapted to drive fluid through said administration feeding set, a single motor source operatively engaged with said means for driving fluid and adapted to be operatively engaged with a means for controlling fluid flow and further adapted to control operation of said means for driving fluid or said means for controlling fluid flow, a gear arrangement operatively engaged with said single motor source and said means for driving fluid, said gear arrangement adapted to be operatively engaged with said means for controlling fluid flow and adapted to non-simultaneously operate said means for driving fluid or said means for controlling fluid flow, and a microprocessor for controlling operation of at least said single motor source.

Abstract
There is disclosed a flow control apparatus comprising a housing adapted to load an administration feeding set, and a means for driving fluid through the administration feeding set operatively engaged through the housing and adapted to engage tubing of the administration feeding set. A single motor source is operatively engaged to the means for driving fluid, such as a rotor, and adapted to be engaged to a means for controlling fluid flow, such as a valve mechanism. The single motor source is adapted to control operation of the means for driving fluid or the means for controlling fluid flow through a gear arrangement. The gear arrangement is operatively engaged with the single motor source and the means for driving fluid, as well as adapted to operatively engage the means for controlling fluid flow, and is adapted to non-simultaneously operate the means for driving fluid or the means for controlling fluid flow using a microprocessor that controls operation of at least the single motor source.
