“Pump” refers to an apparatus, instrument, structure, member, device, component, system, or assembly structured, organized, configured, designed, arranged, or engineered to convey a fluid. In certain embodiments, a pump may convey a fluid within a conduit, out of a conduit, from a storage structure, or out of a storage structure. In certain embodiments, a pump can convey a fluid within a fluid circuit. Pumps may have different names based on the type and/or configuration of the pump. Certain pumps can be more suited to conveying a gas others can be more suited to conveying a liquid. Examples of pumps include, but are not limited to, positive displacement pumps, centrifugal pumps, reciprocating pumps, diaphragm pumps, peristaltic pumps, and the like. For a medical or biological application, a peristaltic pump may be used to mitigate contamination of a fluid pumped by the pump.
