Abstract
A tube holder includes a tube clamp having a housing and a clamping mechanism. The housing has a tube entry along a major surface thereof. A first tube passageway extends from the tube entry into the housing, and a tube receiving channel is coupled to the first tube passageway. The clamping mechanism comprises a lever handle user operable to transition from a first position to a second position. A gate is coupled to the lever handle, and a tube pinch is coupled to the lever handle. When a tube is peripherally inserted into the tube receiving channel and the lever handle of the clamping mechanism is in the second position, the gate prevents the tube from exiting the housing via the first tube passageway, and the tube pinch pinches the tube so as to prevent a flow of a fluid through the tube.
