An infusion pump has a housing (10) accommodating a pump finger mechanism
(12). The pump finger mechanism (12) acts on a pump hose (13) fastened at
holders (16, 21) of the housing. The pump hose (13) is supported by a
door (24). In order to facilitate proper and positionally correct
placement of the pump hose, one of the holders (16) includes an oblique
pin. The associated transition piece (15) of the pump hose (13) has a
hole (18) with the same inclination angle as the oblique pin. The other
transition piece (20) is of a different structure so that the transition
pieces cannot be mixed up. A longitudinal color strip (29) on the pump
hose is provided to visually indicate any twisting of the hose.
