A pinch clip occluder for infusion sets is disclosed including a housing and a clamp movably disposed within the housing to selectively occlude an infusion set. In one embodiment the clamp has at least one arm which moves between first and second positions to pinch closed a silicone tube of the infusion set unless the pinch clip occluder is held in an open position by the user, or placed in a receptacle which will hold the pinch clip occluder in an open position. In another embodiment a plunger is disposed so as to intersect a passage passing through the housing. As the plunger is selectively moved between first and second positions, the flow through a tube in the passage is selectively controlled. Such an arrangement prevents a free-flow condition from occurring through the infusion set.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A pinch clip occluder for selectively preventing flow through two tube sections of an infusion set, the pinch clip occluder comprising:a housing having an open first end, an open second end and a passage extending from the open first end to the open second end for holding at least one tube section of an infusion set, the housing having a first end wall with an opening formed therein, a second end wall having an opening formed therein, and an inner wall disposed between the first end wall and the second end wall, the inner wall having an opening formed therein, and a contoured knob extending downwardly from the housing for engaging an enteral feeding pump housing so as to secure the pinch clip occluder within the housing when the pinch clip occluder is disposed therein;plunger means disposed generally transverse to the passage of the housing and positioned between the second end wall and the inner wall for selectively occluding flow through the at least one tube section of an infusion set, the plunger means comprising a plunger passage movable between a first position wherein the plunger passage is not in alignment with the passage through the housing so as to occlude flow through the at least one tube section, and a second position wherein the plunger passage is in alignment with the passage through the housing so as to allow flow through the at least one tube section, andan adapter nestable in the first end for connecting the two tube sections of the infusion set.
