The present invention generally relates to peristaltic pumps and more particulaxly to precision peristaltic pumps, particularly suita~le for the simultaneous removal and replacement of fluids in an eye cavity during ophthalmic surgery as, for example, for the removal of cataracts.
The necessity for precisely ~ontrolling pressure in the eye during surgery is well-~nown. During surgery on normally pressurized eyes, instrument;s are passed through small incisions of the cornea in order to access and remove opaque cataract material clouding the lens.
Cataracts within the lens may be broken up by cutting apparatus or by ultrasonic apparatus and the fractured material aspirated, together with a quantity of aqueous fluid in the eye chamber.
The aqueous fluid is simultaneously replaced in order to maintain a normal pressure in the eye.
While pressure may be controlled by a pressure regulation device, greater pressure sta~ility may be assured through the use of a pump having minimal back pressure or pump pulsations.
Severe reductions in the eye pressure will result in collapse of the eye chamber, but aside from these traumat~c results, the maintenance of proper pressure within an eye during surgical procedures is important to preserve and stabilize the spatial relation~hips of the intraocular tissues. Thus, variations of pressure 6~ 136 0 1 ~ .,, `.
~093/24755 PCT/US~/0~064.: ~-during an operation may impair the surgeon's ability to observe and operate on intraocular tissues.
The present invention provides a peristaltic pump having significantly reduced pump pulsations and therefore particularly suitable for use in surgical procedures such as those hereinabove de cribed.
S~MMARY OF T~_INVENTION
A peristaltic pump in accordance with the present invention generally includes a plurality of tube compression means for compressing and sealing a collapsible and resilient tube. ~ousing means is provided for guiding the collapsible and resilient tube to and from the tube compression means and means are provided for causing the plurality af tube com-pression means to successively contact, gradually compress and seal the compre`ssible and re ilient tube 20 and thereafter gradually uncompress the tube in order to move a fluid through the tube in one direction without creating substantial fluid back pressure in the opposite direction.
More particularly, the plurality of tube compres-sion means may comprise a plurality of rollers and the means for causing the plurality of tube compression means to contac.t, comprese and seal the tube comprises a pump arm, having an arcuate s~rface, and mounted to the housing means in a position enabling the rollers ~`.
to contact, compress and seal the tub~.
Still more particularly, the peristaltic pump in accordance with ths present invention may further include assembly head means for supporting the plural-~13601~

ity of rollers in a circular pattern a~out an assembly head axis with each roller having a rotation ~axis generally parallel ~o ~he assembly head axis.
Specifially, the arcuate surfac~ is configured and the pump arm position with respect to the assembly head so that as the assembly head is rota~ed, each roller successively contacts the tube, gradually compresses and seals the tube during an approximate 450 rotation of the assembly head. Additionally, the arcuate surfa~e is configured with the pump arm position with respect to the assembly head so that each roller succescively releases a tube during a rotation of the assembly head about 45.
The arcuate surface is configured and the pump arm positioned with respect to the assembly head so that each roller maintains a sealing engagement with the tube during approximately a 45 rotation of the as~embly head.

DETAILED pESCRIPTION OF_T~ D~WING~
Turning now to Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a peristaltic pump 10 in accordance with the present invention generally including an assembly head 26 which provides a means for supporting a plurality of rollers 2~ with the latter providing compression means : for compressing and sealing a collapsible and resil-ient tube 32 against an arcuate ~urface 34 on a pump arm 36.
The pump arm 36 is pivotally mounted to a housing ~0 by means of a pin 42 and washer 44 for enabling movement thereqf ~o facilitate insertion and ~emoval of the tube 32. Apertures 46 48 in the housing 40 enable the housing to provide means for guiding the ~: collapsible and resilient tube 32 to and from the arcuate surface 34 and rollers 28.
A spring S2 loaded latch 54 pivotally mounted to the pump arm 36 by a pin 55 enables locking of the W093/24755 2~3~ LS PCT/US93~0506k~
pump arm 36 to the housing after insertion of the tube 32 through the apertures ~6 and ~8, and during opera-tion of the pump~ This locking is enabled by the tongue 56 which snaps over a recess 58 ~n the housing 40, securing a front housing wall 60 between the tongue 56 and a rear portion 62 of the latch 54.
The assembly head 26 is rotatably attached to the housing 40 by way of an axle 68 which passes through bearings 70, 72, a bore 76 in the housing 40 and a hub 7~ and coupling 80. The axle 68 i~ retain.ed in position by a clip 82 in a conventional manner along with a set screw 86.
As will be hereinafter discussed in great detail, the pump arm 36 with arcuate surface 34 is positioned with respect to the assembly head rollers 28 to pro-vide a means for gradually compressing and sealing the collapsible and resilient tube 32 and thereafter grad-ually uncompressing the tube 32 in order to move a fluid (not shown) through the tube 32 in a direction indicated by the rotation area 92 without creating substantlal fluid bac~ pressure in a direction oppo-site that of the area 92. The spatial relationship provided by the mounting of the assembly head 26 and arcuate surface 32 is more clearly shown in Figure 3.
It should be appreciated that while four rollers 28 are shown mounted in a circular pattern about an assembly head axis 96, a larger or smaller number of rollers may be suitable depending upon pumping re-quirements. As shown, each roller 28 includes a roller axis 100 which is generally parallel to the assembly head axis 96.
~3S~lS 1.
~: 93/247;; PCr/~S93/05064 As shown in Figure 3, the arcuate surface 34 is configured and the pump arm 36 positioned with re~spect to the assembly head 26 so that as the assembly head 26 is rotated in the direction of arrow 92, each roller 28 successively contacts the tube 32, gradually compresses and seals the tube 32 during approximately a 45 rotation of the assembly head 26.
Further configuration of the arcuate surface 34 and position of the pump arm 36 with respect to the assembly head 26 enables each roller to graclually release the tube during a rotation of the assembly head 26 of about 45. This configuration also enables each roller to remain in a sealing engagement with the tube 32 during approximately a 90~ rotation of tAe assembly head 26.
This is to be contrasted with a prior art peristaltic pump 102 in which positioning of prior art assembly heads 104 with pump arm arcuate surfaces 106 is shown in Figure 4. In the prior art arrangement, sealing of the tube 108 occurs in a small angular rotation (In the direction of arrow 110) of the prior art assembly head 104. This results in movement of fluid within the prior art tube 108 away from the compressing prior art roller 112 which causes significant back pressure in the prior art tube 108 as indicated by the~arrow 114.
To further enhance the efficient and reliable sealing of the tube 32 by the rollers 28 in the pump 10, according to the present invention, a specific circumferential surface 116 on the rollers 28 is provided, as shown in Figure 5.
W O 93/~4755 ~ 1 360J~ PCr/US93/0506~' :
As shown, each roller 28 has an inside diameter 118 which is smaller than roller diameters 120 at~each end 122, 124 of each roller. This inside diameter 118 is constant between the end diameters 120 and the end diameters 120 are interconnected with the inside diameter 118 by arcuate surface 126.
This generally U-shaped cross-section of the roller provides for uniform sealing tube 32 as shown in Figure 5 which is not possible with a flat or uniform diameter roller 130, see Figure 5a. As shown in cross-section in Figure 5-A, the prior art roller 130 provides incomplete sealing of a tubs 132 because the circular nature of the tube inside diameter results in end voids 134 136 unless sufficient pressure is exerted to collapslble the tube side 138.
However, such increased pressure by the rollers 112 may lead to excessive tube wear and may further result in a excess loading on the assembly head 104 and rollers 112.
In order to prevent movement of the tube 32 through the housing 40, collars 144 146 may be at-tached or molded into the tube at a spaced apart distance from one another in order that each collar is positioned abutting the housing front 40 upon assembly of the tube 32 into the housing 40 and around the rollers 28. The collar diameter is chosen in order to prevent entry of the collar into the housing means 40.
It has been found that reliable and efficient perfor-mance of the pump is provided when the compressible and resilient tube is formed from silicon having a hardness of about 55 durometers, Shore A, platinum or peroxide cure method, and a typical tubing size is ~.~'J,', ~ 93/~4755 ~ 5 PCT/~S93/05064 _g_ ~, three~eighth inch. Preferably the tube is formed from a peroxide cure silicon, said cure being well known in the art.
This size tube enahles pumping volumes of up to about ~O cc/minute when the assembly head is rotated at up to about 75 rpm.
The hereinabove described arrangement of the assembly head 26, rollers ~, and pump head 36 with arcuate surface 34 using the hereinabove referenced tube 32 configuration enables a significant reduction in back pressure as compared to a prior art peristal-tic pump 102 having the same overall dimensions and lS operated at the same volume output. This is clearly shown in Figures 6 and 7 which are plots of the vacuum drawn by the pump as a function of time for pumping volumes of about 10 cc per minute and 40 cc per minute.
Curves A in both Figures 6 and 7 represent the prior art pump performance while Curves B in Figures 6 and 7 represent the results of a peristaltic pump configured in accordance with the present invention.
It can be easily seen from Figure 6 th~t the vacuum variation on the intake of the pump 10 in accordance with the present invention operating at about 10 ccs per minute is less than plus or minus 4 mm Hg at a vacuum of about 18 mm Hg. This is to be compared with the vacuum variation on the intake of the prior art pump 102 which is about plus or minus 8 mm Hg at 10 ccs per minute. Thus the change in back pressure of the pump 10 in accordance with the present ~ ., , , . .. .. . . . . ~ . ~ .
W093/24755 ~13 6 01S PCT/I593/05064,~
invention over the prior art pump 102 is a factor of two.
An even greater inprovement in reduced vacuum variation or back pressure is exhibited by the pump 10 in accordance with the present invention when operating at a higher flow rate. This is shown in Figure 7 wherein the variation of vacuum for the pump ~ 10 is about plus or minus 5 Hg whereas the variation of vacuum for the prior art pump 102 is about plus or minus 15 Hg. A factor of about 3 improvement.
Although there has been hereinabove described a specific peristaltic pump in accordance with the present invention, for the purpose of illustrating the manner in which the invention may be used to advan-tage, it should be appreciated that the invention is not limited thereto. Accordingly, any and all modifi-cations, variations, or equivalent arrangements which may occur to those s~illed in the art, should be considered to be witnin the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
