1. A modular medical pump system for a drug kit having a flexible delivery tube from a drug container, the modular medical pump system comprising:
- a controller including;
(a) an electronic processor holding a first stored program for execution by the electronic processor; and
(b) a programing station interface for releasably receiving a pump unit for communication of control information to the pump unit as so received based on the execution of the first stored program; and
at least one pump unit releasably receivable by a connector of the controller, the one pump unit including;
(a) a housing for receiving the delivery tube therethrough, the housing including a retention element locking at least one of the delivery tube and a drug container to the housing of the pump unit against unauthorized removal;
(b) ail electromechanical pump communicating with a flexible tube in the housing to pump fluid through the flexible tube;
(c) a pump unit electronic processor communicating with the electromechanical pump and holding a stored program; and
(d) a pump unit interface for receiving the control information from the controller for control of the electromechanical pump when the pump unit is received by the controller.

Abstract
A modular medical pump system provides separate pump units that may be pre-associated with flexible tubes. Multiple pump units may be installed in a controller that coordinates operation of the pump units for delivery of multiple medicaments to a patient. The pump units may carry drug information and the controller may hold patient information allowing drug delivery and interaction to be assessed by the controller.
