Abstract
A pump clip and a fluid infusion device system, in which the pump clip includes a mount to be connectable to a fluid infusion device, and a base coupled to the mount. The base is pivotable relative to the mount about a first pivot axis. The pump clip includes a clip coupled to the base. The clip is pivotable relative to the base about a second pivot axis, and the clip defines at least one tube clamp to receive a tube associated with the fluid infusion device.
Claims18
A pump clip for a fluid infusion device system, comprising:
- a mount to be connectable to a fluid infusion device;
- a base coupled to the mount, the base pivotable relative to the mount about a first pivot axis;
- and
- a clip coupled to the base, the clip pivotable relative to the base about a second pivot axis, the clip defines at least one tube clamp to receive a tube associated with the fluid infusion device, and the at least one tube clamp comprises at least one notch defined in a clip projection that extends outwardly near a second end of the clip.

A fluid infusion device system, comprising:
- a fluid infusion device having a pump clip interface;
- a pump clip coupled to the pump clip interface, the pump clip including:
- a mount configured to be slidably received within the pump clip interface, the mount having a first mount end;
- a base coupled to the mount at the first mount end, the base pivotable relative to the mount about a first pivot axis and the base having a first base end;
- and
- a clip coupled to the base, the clip pivotable relative to the base about a second pivot axis, the clip having a first clip end opposite a second clip end, the clip defines at least one tube clamp proximate the second clip end to receive a tube associated with the fluid infusion device, and the first mount end, the first base end and the first clip end extend along an axis, which is transverse to a longitudinal axis of the pump clip to define a support surface for the pump clip.

A fluid infusion device system, comprising:
- a fluid infusion device having a pump clip interface;
- a pump clip coupled to the pump clip interface, the pump clip including:
- a mount configured to be slidably received within the pump clip interface, the mount having a first mount end;
- a base coupled to the mount at the first mount end, the base pivotable relative to the mount about a first pivot axis, the base extending for a distance along a longitudinal axis of the pump clip and the base having a first base end;
- and
- a clip coupled to the base, the clip pivotable relative to the base about a second pivot axis, the clip having a first clip end opposite a second clip end, the clip extending for a second distance along the longitudinal axis, which is greater than the distance of the base, the clip defines at least one tube clamp proximate the second clip end to receive a tube associated with the fluid infusion device, and the first mount end, the first base end and the first clip end extend along an axis, which is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pump clip to define a support surface for the pump clip.
