Infusion pump and slide clamp apparatus and method

摘要

Infusion Pump and Slide Clamp Apparatus and Method Abstract of the Disclosure An infusion pump (10) for metering fluid flow through an delivery tube (20) of an infusion tubing set (16) has an internal occlusion clamp (43) which clamps the 5 delivery tube (20) to prevent the free flow of fluid through the tube (20) when access to the delivery tube (20) in the infusion pump (10) is possible. To release the delivery tube (20) from the infusion pump (10), a slide clamp (12) is manually used to release the occlusion clamp (43) to an open, non-occluding position while simultaneously occluding the delivery tube (20) to prevent the free flow of fluid.
