1. A roller pump comprising:
- a stator with a pump bed formed therein;
a pump bed hose, an inlet hose, and an outlet hose;
a rotor for acting on the pump bed hose, said pump bed hose being inserted into the pump bed in arcuate form, having an inlet end and an outlet end, and being fixable in the roller pump by a connector to which the pump bed hose, the inlet hose, and the outlet hose are connectable, the connector being arranged laterally at the pump bed with a horizontal alignment of a rotor axle, and being configured such that a path of fluid flow within the connector associated with the inlet end of the pump bed hose and a path of fluid flow within the connector associated with the outlet end of the pump bed hose cross in the connector; and
a control unit which sets a direction of rotation of the rotor, said control unit setting the direction of rotor rotation to be clockwise for a configuration in which an opening of the pump bed is on a left hand side, and setting the direction of rotor rotation to be counterclockwise for a configuration in which the opening of the pump bed is on a right hand side.

12. A method of operating a roller pump that includes a stator with a pump bed formed therein, a pump bed hose, an inlet hose, and an outlet hose, and a rotor for acting on the pump bed hose, said pump bed hose being inserted into the pump bed in arcuate form, having an inlet end and an outlet end, and being fixable in the roller pump by a connector to which the pump bed hose, the inlet hose, and the outlet hose are connectable, the connector being arranged laterally at the pump bed with a horizontal alignment of a rotor axle, and being configured such that a path of fluid flow within the connector associated with the inlet end of the pump bed hose and a path of fluid flow within the connector associated with the outlet end of the pump bed hose cross in the connector, the method comprising:
rotating the rotor in a clockwise direction for a configuration in which an opening of the pump bed is on a left hand side, and rotating the rotor in a counterclockwise direction for a configuration in which the opening of the pump bed is on a right hand side. - View Dependent Claims (13, 18)
