A liquid feeding pump for feeding liquid in a liquid feeding tube, the liquid feeding pump comprising:
- a mounting portion to which a first clip member mounted to the liquid feeding tube is mountable;
- an adapter detachably attachable to the mounting portion;
- and
- a detection unit configured to detect mounting of the first clip member to the mounting portion, wherein:
- the adapter has a shape that disables detection by the detection unit of mounting of the first clip member by the detection unit and enables detection by the detection unit of mounting of a second clip member having a shape different from a shape of the first clip member.
An adapter for use with a liquid feeding pump, the liquid feeding pump comprising a mounting portion to which a first clip member mounted to a liquid feeding tube is mountable, and a detection unit that detects mounting of the first clip member to the mounting portion, the adapter having:
- a shape that disables detection of mounting of the first clip member by the detection unit and enables detection of mounting of a second clip member having a shape different from a shape of the first clip member by the detection unit, wherein:
- the adapter is configured to be detachably attached to the mounting portion.
A liquid feeding set for use in a liquid feeding pump, the liquid feeding set comprising:
- a liquid feeding tube;
- and
- a clip member attached to the liquid feeding tube, the clip member comprising a hook configured to engage with a cover member of an adapter, wherein:
- the clip member has a shape that cannot be mounted to a mounting portion of the liquid feeding pump and can be mounted to the liquid feeding pump only via the adapter attached to the mounting portion.
