Abstract
Abstract A medical pump device having a hose pump and a replaceable pump hose and provided with a reading means that reads a code mounted on the pump hose. The code corresponds to the deviation of the delivery volume of the individual hose from the set delivery volume. In dependence on the coding signals, the control signals for the pump drive are corrected so that defined delivery rates are obtained even with in wide hose tolerances.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A medical pump device comprising: a hose having a delivery volume, a hose pump having a drive controlled by signals in dependence on a set delivery rate, a housing configured to receive the hose, a coding associated with the hose, the coding containing information about the delivery volume of the hose, reading means for reading the coding associated with the hose, and control means in communication with the reading means for controlling the drive in response to the coding associated with the hose.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A medical pump device comprising: a hose having a delivery volume, a hose pump having a drive controlled by signals in dependence on a set delivery rate, a housing configured to receive the hose, a coding associated with the hose, the coding containing information about the delivery volume of the hose, reading means for reading the coding associated with the hose, and control means in communication with the reading means for controlling the drive in response to the coding associated with the hose.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The medical pump device according to claim 1, comprising: fixing means for attaching the hose to the housing in a defined position, whereby the coding is detectable by the reading means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
The medical pump device according to claim 1, further comprising an abutment covering a portion of the hose, wherein the hose pump includes a plurality of pump fingers for squeezing the hose against the abutment, and wherein the reading means is arranged on the housing at a position at which the hose is not squeezed against the abutment by the pump fingers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
The medical pump device according to claim 1, wherein the coding is provided on a plate attached to the hose, and wherein the plate is disposed to lie against a wall of the housing when the hose is received by the housing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A medical pump device according to claim 1, wherein the coding comprises a binary code.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
93 words
A method of controlling the rate of delivery of fluid pumped through a hose having a delivery volume by a medical pump device, the method comprising: providing the hose with a code containing information about the delivery volume of the hose, reading the code provided with the hose, and controlling the medical pump device in response to the code provided with the hose, whereby the rate of delivery of fluid pumped through the hose is adjusted in accordance with the delivery volume of the hose to correspond to a predetermined rate of delivery.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
93 words
A method of controlling the rate of delivery of fluid pumped through a hose having a delivery volume by a medical pump device, the method comprising: providing the hose with a code containing information about the delivery volume of the hose, reading the code provided with the hose, and controlling the medical pump device in response to the code provided with the hose, whereby the rate of delivery of fluid pumped through the hose is adjusted in accordance with the delivery volume of the hose to correspond to a predetermined rate of delivery.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
99 words
An apparatus for controlling the rate of delivery of fluid pumped through a hose having a delivery volume by a medical pump device, the apparatus comprising: means for providing the hose with a code containing information about the delivery volume of the hose, means for reading the code provided with the hose, and means for controlling the medical pump device in response to the code provided with the hose, whereby the rate of delivery of fluid pumped through the hose is adjusted in accordance with the delivery volume of the hose to correspond to a predetermined rate of delivery.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
99 words
An apparatus for controlling the rate of delivery of fluid pumped through a hose having a delivery volume by a medical pump device, the apparatus comprising: means for providing the hose with a code containing information about the delivery volume of the hose, means for reading the code provided with the hose, and means for controlling the medical pump device in response to the code provided with the hose, whereby the rate of delivery of fluid pumped through the hose is adjusted in accordance with the delivery volume of the hose to correspond to a predetermined rate of delivery.
