Fluid monitoring assembly with sensor functionality

A fluid monitoring assembly comprising:

• a segment of replaceable, flexible conduit comprising a wall defining a lumen through which the fluid passes;
• a sensor mount integrally formed with the wall of the segment of replaceable, flexible conduit and extending generally transverse with respect to a longitudinal axis of the segment of replaceable, flexible conduit, the sensor mount including an aperture defining an inner surface extending through the sensor mount to the lumen of the segment of replaceable, flexible conduit;
• a sensor configured to be removably secured within the sensor mount, the sensor having an elongate body terminating at one end thereof in a sensing portion, the elongate body having a flange on a portion thereof that rests on or within the sensor mount when secured within the sensor mount;
• and
• a housing having first and second portions connected to one another at a hinge, the housing defining an interior portion configured to encapsulate the segment of replaceable, flexible conduit, the sensor mount, and the elongate body of the sensor.
