Abstract
A medical fluid pump apparatus is provided for use with a fluid delivery set including a fluid reservoir, a delivery outlet, and tubing connecting the reservoir to the outlet. The apparatus includes a pump supported on a housing, and a shelf spaced from the pump and provided with a pair of spaced, transverse slots sized for receipt of the tubing of the fluid delivery set so that the tubing of the fluid delivery set may be received in the slots and placed in operative engagement with the peristaltic pump. A latch is supported on the housing for movement between a closed position in which the latch blocks the slots to prevent the removal of the tubing and an open position in which the latch exposes the slots.
