1. A slide clamp for use with an infusion device and an infusion set, the infusion set having an infusate source and an infusate tube extending from the infusate source, the slide clamp comprising:
- a body having an aperture adapted to receive the infusate tube; and
a signaling component configured to communicate information indicative of an administration protocol for the infusion set to a detection device operatively connected to the infusion device, the signaling component including a non-bar code arrangement of curved indentations, wherein each indentation extends only partially into the body of the slide clamp.

Abstract
A system and method for automatically delivering an infusate to a patient is disclosed. The system includes an infusion set and an infusion device. A signaling component disposed on an infusion set component identifies an administration protocol for the infusion set. A detection device operatively connected to the infusion device detects the signaling component and identifies the administration protocol. The infusion device is then configured to operate according to the administration protocol.

15. A slide clamp for use with an infusion device and an infusion set, the infusion set having an infusate source and an infusate tube extending from the infusate source, the slide clamp comprising:
-
a body having an aperture adapted to receive the infusate tube and a substantially flat surface; and an optical signaling component configured to communicate information indicative of an administration protocol for the infusion set to a detection device operatively connected to the infusion device, the optical signaling component including a non-bar code arrangement of curved indentations, wherein the arrangement of curved indentations and the substantially flat surface are configured such that light reflected off of the curved indentations allows the detection device to distinguish between that light reflected off of the curved indentations versus light reflected off of the substantially flat surface. - View Dependent Claims (17)

16. A slide clamp for use with an infusion device and an infusion set, the infusion set having an infusate source and an infusate tube extending from the infusate source, the slide clamp comprising:
-
a body having an aperture adapted to receive the infusate tube; and an optical signaling component configured to communicate information indicative of an administration protocol for the infusion set to a detection device operatively connected to the infusion device, the optical signaling component including a non-bar code arrangement of indentations, wherein each indentation is curved and extends only partially into the body of the slide clamp.
