Abstract

See full text

Retrograde flow in an extracorporeal blood circuit using a centrifugal blood pump is prevented by passing the blood line through a normally-closed powered occlusion clamp, and opening the clamp in response to powering of the pump or, preferably, in response to the sensing of forward blood flow in the extracorporeal circuit.
