Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a door is used to provide uniform pressure to insert tubing into slots of a pump having walls that are narrower than the outer diameter of the tubing. In another embodiment, connectors are attached to receptacles on the pump, where the connectors insert and/or hold the tubing in slots of the pump. The connectors push the tubing into the slots while closing thereby covering the slots, which helps assure that the tubing is properly inserted into the slots. Optionally, the tubing may be partially affixed to the connectors so that detaching the connectors from the pump receptacles may remove the tubing from the slots. In one embodiment, as long as the connectors are connected to the pump receptacles properly, the tubing is properly inserted and/or retained in the slots.
