ANTI-OCCLUSION INTRAVENOUS TUBE PORT

Abstract:

An infusion pump includes a housing. The housing includes a tube port adapted to receive an intravenous ("IV") tube. The tube port includes a tube channel and a rib. The tube channel has a first end and a second end. The rib is formed to extend laterally from the tube channel at the first end to form at least two channels at an edge of the housing. The rib tends to prevent full occlusion of the IV tube.
