Abstract
A system and method for automatically delivering an infusate to a patient is disclosed. The system includes an infusion set and an infusion device. A signaling component disposed on an infusion set component identifies the infusion set and is encrypted for security. The encryption may include both an encryption algorithm and a valid number algorithm. A detection device operatively connected to the infusion device decrypts and detects the signaling component and identifies the infusion set. The infusion device is then configured to operate according to an administration protocol suitable for the infusion set and an infusion device, such as an infusion pump.
