An infusion apparatus includes a roller assembly adapted to exert pressure on opposed sides of an IV bag to forcibly remove the fluid contents therefrom in an even and controllable manner. A sensing element mounted to the roller assembly senses the pressure exerted during the infusion operation and generates a signal to a control assembly which automatically adjusts the movement of the roller assembly in response to the pressure sensed. If the pressure sensed exceeds a predetermined level, the control assembly will activate a drive assembly to return the roller assembly to a neutral position.

An apparatus for feeding parenteral fluid under pressure from an IV bag to a patient, the apparatus comprising: a support member adapted to support the IV bag; a roller assembly comprising a pair of spaced apart rollers adapted to be placed at opposed sides of the IV bag, each one of the rollers adapted to contact a corresponding side of the IV bag to exert pressure; a drive assembly to drive the roller assembly so that the rollers are adapted to exert pressure on the IV bag; a control assembly interconnecting the roller assembly and the drive assembly, the control assembly constructed to control the drive assembly to move the roller assembly in response to the pressure adapted to be exerted on the IV bag; and a sensing member mounted to the roller assembly to generate a signal to the control assembly of the pressure adapted to be exerted on the IV bag.
