Patent

CA 2098402

The present invention provides an apparatus for use in a peristaltic pump which prevents an inadvertent free flow condition prior to loading or after removal of an I.V. tube in the peristaltic pump and which also prevents the inadvertent occlusion of a loaded I.V, tube in the peristaltic pump. A standard I.V. tube has a slide clamp provided thereon. The apparatus includes an I.V. tube groove into which the I.V. tube is positioned, a slide clamp receiving area into which the slide clamp is inserted and a biased sliding member which the inserted slide clamp engages such that the I.V. tube cannot be loaded into the apparatus without the slide clamp occluding the I.V. tube. The present invention also contemplates a slide clamp compatible with the apparatus having a surface pad for facilitating automated identification of the slide clamp in cooperation with a non-obstructive sensor in the safety apparatus.
