Representative Abstract: EP 1779879 A1 20070502 (English)
A surgical cassette (200) is provided having a fluid pressure sensing
chamber (210) with a tubing extension (240') extending through a void
(230') in the chamber. The tubing contains at least one port (260')
that fluidly communicate(s) with the pressure sensing chamber, being
adapted to allow the purging of air from the chamber during initial
priming of the cassette, but being sized so that air bubbles entering
the tubing extension cannot easily flow into the chamber. The tubing
extension further contains a reduced diameter portion (241) that
creates a pressure differential upstream and downstream of a flow
restrictor (242). The differential pressure creates flow through the
chamber under high liquid flow and turbulent liquid flow events.
