A cassette having an elastomeric sheet that is bonded or mechanically attached to a rigid substrate. A flow channel is molded into the rigid substrate that corresponds to a flow channel molded into the elastomeric sheet. The cassette is used in combination with a peristaltic pump having pump head rollers that are mounted radially from the axis of rotation of the pump motor so as to compress the elastomeric flow channels against the rigid substrate during operation. The flow channels molded into the rigid substrate have smooth, fluid lines free from sharp edges and abrupt direction changes and correspond with the fluid channels molded into the elastomeric sheet so as to provide a transition region with a relatively constant cross-section over its entire length that approximates the cross- sectional area of the flow channels molded into the rigid substrate and the fluid channel molded into the elastomeric sheet so that the entire fluid path is of relatively constant cross-sectional area.

Cassette comprenant une feuille élastomère collée ou fixée mécaniquement à un substrat rigide. Un canal d'écoulement moulé dans le substrat rigide correspond à un canal d'écoulement moulé dans la feuille élastomère. La cassette est utilisée en combinaison avec une pompe péristaltique dotée de galets de tête montés radialement par rapport à l'axe de rotation du moteur de pompe, de manière à comprimer les canaux d'écoulement en élastomère contre le substrat rigide pendant son fonctionnement. Les courbes des canaux d'écoulement moulés dans le substrat rigide sont lisses et fluides, sans arête vive ni changement de direction abrupt. Ces canaux d'écoulement correspondent à ceux moulés dans la feuille élastomère, de manière à créer une zone de transition dont la section transversale est relativement régulière sur toute sa longueur. La section transversale de zone de transition est semblable à celle des canaux d'écoulement moulés dans le substrat rigide et des canaux moulés dans la feuille élastomère. Ainsi, la section transversale du trajet complet du fluide est relativement régulière.
