ADMINISTRATION FEEDING SET
First Claim
1. An administration feeding set for use with a flow control apparatus to deliver fluid from at least one fluid source to a patient, the administration feeding set comprising:
- tubing for flow of fluid along a fluid pathway;
a mounting member on the tubing adapted to engage said flow control apparatus, said fluid pathway extending linearly through said mounting member, said mounting member having at least two receiving portions, each receiving portion being adapted to receive an identification member; and
one or more identification members selectively positioned on one or more of said at least two receiving portions of the mounting member to permit identification of the administration feeding set as having a particular functional configuration different from another functional configuration.

Abstract
An administration feeding set for use with a flow control apparatus to deliver fluid from at least one fluid source to a patient. The set comprises tubing for flow of fluid along a fluid pathway, and a mounting member on the tubing for engaging the flow control apparatus. The fluid pathway extends linearly through the mounting member. The mounting member has at least two receiving portions, each adapted to receive an identification member. One or more identification members are selectively positioned on one or more of the receiving portions of the mounting member to permit identification of the administration set as having a particular functional configuration different from another functional configuration. Other embodiments, including a method of identifying an administration feeding set, are disclosed.

7. An administration feeding set for use with a flow control apparatus to deliver fluid from at least one fluid source to a patient, the administration feeding set comprising:
-
tubing for flow of fluid along a fluid pathway;
a mounting member on the tubing adapted to engage said flow control apparatus, said mounting member extending in a direction around said fluid pathway;
said mounting member having at least two receiving portions, each receiving portion being adapted to receive an identification member; and
one or more identification members selectively positioned on one or more of said at least two receiving portions of the mounting member to permit identification of the administration feeding set as having a particular functional configuration different from another functional configuration. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of identifying an feeding administration set as having a particular functional configuration different from another functional configuration, said administration feeding set comprising tubing for flow of fluid along a fluid pathway toward a patient, and a mounting member on the tubing adapted to engage a flow control apparatus, said fluid pathway extending through the mounting member, and said mounting member having at least two receiving portions co-axial with said fluid pathway, each receiving portion being adapted to receive an identification member, said method comprising the steps of:
-
selectively positioning one or more identification members on one or more of said at least two receiving portions of the mounting member in a manner indicative of said particular functional configuration of the administration feeding set; and
connecting said tubing to opposite ends of the mounting member to permit flow of fluid through the tubing and the mounting member. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
