Abstract
A medical delivery system (10) is provided for delivering a medicament (17) or fluid (17) to a patient. The system comprises a disposable element such as a line set (14) associated with a container (16) containing the fluid (17), an identifier (18) associated with the line set (14) and having identification information associated therewith, and a delivery device (12) configured to engage the line set (14) and deliver the fluid (17) to the patient. The delivery device (12) includes a recognition system (20) that is capable of obtaining the identification information associated with the identifier (18). The identification information may include information regarding the identification of the fluid (17), a type of line set (14), or a type of administration associated with the line set (14). The device (12) can be capable of configuration based on the identification information.
