An assembly and method for connecting between two electrical components, according to which an electrical current path is established between the two components, and an additional path is established for transmitting any electrical noise generated during operation of the components.

Assembly and method for connecting electrical medical components

An implantable drug infusion device includes a pump tube for holding a liquid to be pumped. A race is configured to support the pump tube. A roller assembly is configured to compress the tube against the race at one or more points along the path, and the roller assembly includes at least one roller and a hub. A drive assembly drives the roller assembly relative to the tube along the path so as to move the liquid through the tube. A retracting roller is operably connected to the hub and/or one or more adjacent rollers to permit retraction of the roller during installation of the pump tube between the roller and the race.
