Abstract

A cassette is described for use in an intravenous delivery system having a pump. The volume of a main chamber defined by the cassette body is varied by a membrane in a wall thereof while unidirectional inlet and outlet valves maintain the direction of fluid flow into and out of the main chamber. A prechamber is positioned above the inlet port in order to accumulate air from the upstream portion of the intravenous delivery system in which the cassette is used.
