Abstract

A peristaltic pump for transferring fluid through a flexible tube having a loop-shaped tube path is provided. The pump includes a motor that drives a pair of rollers in a circular path within a housing. The housing includes identical housing halves that together define an inlet port, an outlet port and the loop-shaped tube path through which the flexible tube is fed.
