A medical fluid delivery system with uniquely configured pump unit and fluid delivery set

Abstract

Abstract A medical fluid delivery system (1) comprising a peristaltic pump unit (3) and a fluid delivery set (5) adapted to be operatively mounted on the pump unit. The fluid delivery set comprises a drip container (7) for holding fluid to be pumped by the pump unit (3), and a formation (81) on the drip container having an external contour of unique configuration. The pump unit (3) comprising a holder (55) having a socket (59) therein for receiving and holding the drip container (7) in an operative position on the pump unit. The socket (59) has a uniquely configured internal contour adapted to mate with the uniquely configured external contour of the formation (81) on the drip container (7) whereby a fluid delivery set without the uniquely configured formation cannot be mounted in operative position on the pump unit (3).
