Abstract: A cassette for use with a pumping apparatus having a pumping system for engaging a pump set includes a cassette body configured for releasable attachment to the pumping apparatus to mount the cassette on the pumping apparatus. The cassette body has at least one mounting formation. At least one identification member is mounted on the cassette body by the mounting formation of the cassette body. The identification member and mounting formation are formed to mount the identification member in any one of a plurality of predetermined orientations. Each predetermined orientation indicates a different functional configuration of the pump set.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for delivering liquid to a subject using a pumping device of a flow control apparatus. The method includes recognizing a pump set including a liquid container with a volume of liquid mounted to the flow control apparatus whereby the pump set is positioned to be acted on by the pumping device to deliver aliquots of liquid through the pump set. Operation of the pumping device is initiated to draw a prescribed volume of the liquid from the liquid container for a duration of time. A single aliquot of the volume of liquid is delivered from the liquid container to the subject. Operation of the pumping device is paused for a predetermined period of time before delivering another single aliquot of the volume of liquid from the liquid container to the subject.

Abstract: A pump set for use with a pumping apparatus includes tubing for carrying a liquid. A valve mechanism is mounted to the tubing between an inlet section and a pump engagement section. The valve mechanism includes a first port connected to the inlet section of the tubing, a second port connected to the pump engagement section of the tubing, and a valve disposed between the first and second ports. The valve includes a stem rotatably mounted within a stem holder. The stem includes a flow passage extending through the stem and having an open V shape whereby a narrow open end of the flow passage communicates with the first port and a wide open end of the flow passage communicates with the second port to place the inlet section of the tubing in communication with the pump engagement section of the tubing.

Abstract: A temperature-sensing syringe for enteral feeding of neonates includes a barrel for receiving enteral feeding liquid for a neonate, and a temperature-sensing component in thermal contact with the barrel. The temperature-sensing component detects the temperature of the enteral feeding liquid in the barrel of the syringe. The temperature sensing component provides an indication that the enteral feeding liquid is ready for feeding when the enteral feeding liquid is detected to be at about normal body temperature.

Abstract: An enteral feeding bag support system for use in a medical environment to suspend a medical bag above a surface includes a base including a support portion for supporting the support on the support surface, and an attachment portion for removably attaching a medical device to the support. A pole assembly includes a medical bag attachment portion for attaching a medical bag to the pole assembly. The pole assembly is attachable to the base such that when the pole assembly is attached to the base and the base is on the support surface, the pole assembly extends from the base so that the medical bag attachment portion is disposed above the base suspending the medical bag above the support surface.

Abstract: In one aspect, a physical shielding system includes one or more shield components to protect a first ECG electrical connection and a second ECG electrical connection from objects. The first ECG electrical connection is formed between a connector of an ECG lead set and an adapter and the second ECG electrical connection is formed between the adapter and an ECG monitor. In another aspect, an ECG adapter system includes an ECG adapter.
