A third layer includes rotary peristaltic pump means comprising stationary flexible tubing which includes a bent portion having an essentially part-cycle form and a rotor having engagement elements to squeeze the bent portion during rotation for a pump action, wherein the rotor is coupled with the central gear to transfer torque from the central gear to the rotor.

Abstract: An infusion pump comprises peristaltic pump means with tubing comprising four zones. The first, most upstream, zone provides for an engagement element to engage the tubing during movement along the first zone, and the engagement element remains in engagement with the tubing during movement along the second and third zones. The fourth, most downstream, zone provides for an engagement element to disengage from the tubing during movement along the fourth zone. The length of each of the zones is shorter than the distance between the two neighboring engagement elements, and the sum of the second and third zone lengths is equal to the distance between the two neighboring engagement elements. The second zone cross-section is larger than the third zone cross-section, leading to a volume increase which is at least equal to a volume increase displaced in the fourth zone resulting from disengagement of an engagement element from the tubing.

Abstract: A medication infusion device comprises a memory means at a medication reservoir storing data identifying medication in the reservoir, a memory reading means at an infusion pump unit reads data from said memory means, and control means controls an infusion, based on data read by said memory reading means, to start the infusion when the medication is correct.
