A cassette integrated system. The cassette integrated system includes a mixing cassette, a balancing cassette, a middle cassette fluidly connected to the mixing cassette and the balancing cassette and at least one pod. The mixing cassette is fluidly connected to the middle cassette by at least one fluid line and the middle cassette is fluidly connected to the balancing cassette by at least one fluid line. The at least one pod is connected to at least two of the cassettes wherein the pod is located in an area between the cassettes.

A fluid handling cassette (24), such as that useable with an APD cycler device or other infusion apparatus, may include a generally planar body having at least one pump chamber (181) formed as a depression in a first side of the body and a plurality of flowpaths for fluid that includes a channel. A patient line port may be arranged for connection to a patient line (34) and be in fluid communication with the at least one pump chamber via at least one flowpath, and an optional membrane (15) may be attached to the first side of the body over the at least one pump chamber. In one embodiment, the membrane may have a pump chamber portion (151) with an unstressed shape that generally conforms to the pump chamber depression in the body and is arranged to be movable for movement of fluid in the useable space of the pump chamber. One or more spacers (50) may be provided in the pump chamber to prevent a pump membrane from contacting an inner wall of the pump chamber. Patient, drain (28) and/or heater bag lines (26) may be positioned to be separately occludable in relation to one or more solution lines (30) that are connectable to the cassette.

A two-component elastomeric enclosure surrounding a mechanical device can effectively attenuate the noise and vibration associated with the device. The outer shell of the enclosure comprises a castable polyurethane elastomer, while the inner shell of the enclosure comprises polymeric foam. The inner foam layer of the enclosure can contact both vertical and horizontal surfaces of the enclosed device in order to immobilize it within the enclosure, and to enhance the dampening effect of the enclosure on acoustic and mechanical vibrations. The enclosure can act as a vertical and horizontal supporting structure for the enclosed mechanical device. The enclosure may in turn be fastenable to a housing or frame member via relatively stiff elastomeric bushings, pads or mounts, in order to further reduce the transmission of vibrations originating from the mechanical device. The enclosure can be molded in a two-stage pour-molding process using a cavity mold and two forming dies—one for each layer of the enclosure. The second stage of the molding process allows the inner foam layer to bond to the outer shell of the enclosure during the curing process, and to have inner dimensions that can make close contact with pre-determined portions of the device for which the enclosure is being produced. Highly customized cavity molds and forming dies can be created using rapid manufacturing or prototyping techniques.

The present invention generally relates to occluders and, in particular, to occluders for use in medical infusion systems. In one aspect, the occluder contains one or more tubes through which fluid can flow, and the occluder can be automatically controlled to allow or at least partially prevent fluid flow. In some cases, the occluder may be constructed and arranged to fail (e.g., due to loss of power) in a “closed” position, i.e., a position that at least partially prevents fluid flow. In addition, in one embodiment, the occluder may be manually overridden, even when in a failed state, by a user. For instance, in the event of a power failure, a user may be able to manually override the occluder to remove tubing from the occluder. Such occluders may find use, for example, in medical devices such as hemodialysis machines, medical infusion pumps, plasmapheresis devices, and the like.
