MEDICAMENT INFUSION SYSTEM AND PUMP ASSEMBLY FOR USE THEREIN
First Claim
1. A medicament infusion system for delivering a medicament, the medicament delivered from a medicament container, through an infusion set, to a patient, via an infusion route selected from one of a plurality of infusion routes, comprising:
- a pump having a pump inlet and a pump outlet; and
an attachment set operably, removably couplable to the pump inlet and the pump outlet, including—
an attachment set inlet connector operably, detachably coupling the attachment set to the medicament container,a coded attachment set outlet connector operably, detachably coupling the attachment set to the infusion set, the coded attachment set outlet connector being of a particular type selected from a group of different types of ISO 80369 compliant connectors, the coded attachment set outlet connector thereby identifying a particular infusion route, anda coded attachment set pump fitting in fluid communication with the attachment set inlet connector and the coded attachment set outlet connector, the coded attachment set pump fitting being operably, communicatively couplable with the pump to convey to the pump information regarding the coded attachment set outlet connector, and thereby identifying to the pump the particular infusion route.

Abstract
An infusion system fully compliant with international standard ISO 80639-1, Small-bore Connectors for Liquids and Gases in Healthcare Applications, yet compatible with a multipurpose infusion pump to enable operational redeployment of the pump. An attachment set, removably couplable to the pump inlet and outlet, includes a coded attachment set outlet connector detachably coupling the attachment set to an infusion set, and a coded attachment set pump fitting coupling the attachment set to the infusion pump, thereby identifying to the pump a particular infusion route.
