  • Patent number: 11786650
    Abstract: An assembly is configured to position a peristaltic tube with respect to a linear peristaltic pump drive of an infusion pump. The assembly can include a peristaltic tube, first and second tube couplers, a frame, first and second securement plates, a free-flow prevention arm, and a biasing mechanism. The frame can include a snap-fit tab configured to releasably secure the assembly to an assembly receptacle of the infusion pump. The free-flow prevention arm can be selectively movable between a free-flow preventing position and a free-flow allowing position. A latching mechanism can be ergonomically manipulable to latch the free-flow prevention arm in a free-flow allowing position, and to unlatch the free-flow prevention arm such that the biasing mechanism is able to bias the free-flow prevention arm to the free-flow preventing position.

  • Patent number: 8536110
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a detergent composition comprising combining a plurality of components suitable for producing a detergent block which is water soluble into a fluid mixture. A mold assembly is provided which has a first mold component and a second mold component. The first and second mold components define a mold assembly having a body and a bottom. The body includes an outer wall, a bottom and outer wall which defines a mold interior. The fluid mixture is presented into the mold assembly and allowed to harden into at least a partially solid state within the mold defining a solid soluble, consumable detergent block. Once the block is at least partially cured, the first and second mold components are separated exposing the solid soluble, consumable detergent block to the ambient environment. Water soluble indicia are positioned onto the soluble consumable detergent block.
