Memory and identification associated with IV set
First Claim
1. An IV set for coupling with a pump device, the IV set comprising:
- a fluid lumen adapted for passage of an infusion fluid toward a patient, the fluid lumen having a first end and a second end;
a frame having a first end and a second end, the frame coupled to the fluid lumen such that the fluid lumen is positioned adjacent the frame with the first end of the fluid lumen positioned at a first end of the frame and a second end of the fluid lumen positioned at a second end of the frame, the frame adapted to be inserted into a seat of a pump device, wherein the frame provides a platen relative to the fluid lumen, wherein the frame is sized and shaped such that the frame can only be inserted into the pump device when aligned in a predetermined orientation relative to the pump device;
a rotary valve assembly that can be actuated to regulate fluid flow through the fluid lumen, the rotary valve assembly being attached to the first end of the frame, and wherein the fluid lumen extends through the rotary valve assembly, wherein the rotary valve assembly transitions between an open state and a closed state;
a valve handle on the rotary valve, wherein the valve handle is actuated to control the rotary valve assembly between the open state and the closed state, wherein the valve handle directly contacts and mates with a lock knob on a door of the pump device when the frame is positioned in the pump device so that actuation of the valve handle is directly coupled to a movement of the lock knob on the door of the pump device;
an information device adapted to store information associated with the IV set, wherein the information device is accessed in response to proper placement of the IV set in the pump device.

Abstract
An IV set is configured for coupling with a pump device. The IV set comprises a fluid lumen adapted for passage of an infusion fluid toward a patient. A frame is coupled to the fluid lumen and is adapted to be inserted into a seat of a pump device, wherein the frame provides a platen relative to the fluid lumen, wherein the frame is sized and shaped such that the frame can only be inserted into the pump device when aligned in a predetermined orientation relative to the pump device. An information device is adapted to store information associated with the IV set, wherein the information device is accessed in response to proper placement of the IV set in the pump device.

11. A method for accessing information associated with An IV set, comprising:
-
inserting at least a portion of the IV set into a modular pump device for pumping of a fluid, wherein the IV set includes; a fluid lumen adapted for passage of an infusion fluid toward a patient, the fluid lumen having a first end and a second end; and a frame having a first end and a second end, the frame coupled to the fluid lumen such that the fluid lumen is positioned adjacent the frame with the first end of the fluid lumen positioned at a first end of the frame and a second end of the fluid lumen positioned at a second end of the frame; closing a door of the pump device to enclose the IV set such that a knob on the door directly contacts and engages with a rotary valve of the IV set as the door closes; actuating the knob on the door to cause the rotary valve to transition to an open state; and in response to the inserting, accessing information associated with the IV set from an information device coupled to the IV set. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
