Abstract

A removable apparatus for identification of fluid-transmitting systems including a tube system, such as intravenous infusion systems, is disclosed. The apparatus may include a relatively rigid member. The apparatus includes a holder for connecting the apparatus to a portion of the tube system or fluid conduit. The holder can include a clip or clips formed by a pair of spaced arms configured for gripping on the tube secured in place thereon by frictional engagement of the clip arms on the outer surface of the tube wall. In one form, the arms extend up from a first face adjacent a lateral edge of the rigid member. The apparatus may include a portion for receiving written information, and may include a portion with pre-printed information. The information may relate to the patient, the treatment, the fluid or an additive thereto, or to the tube, tube system, or apparatus itself.
