A method reads fluid delivery specification from a tube cassette and carry out infusion upon acceptance of the fluid delivery specification. An infusion pump comprises a housing having a compartment into which a tube cassette is receivable; a controller; a label reader disposed in the housing, accessible to the cassette compartment and coupled to the controller; a user interface disposed in the housing and coupled to the controller, the user interface including a screen, a first operator and a second operator coupled to the user interface. The first and second operators provide a first response signal to the controller for a prompt displayed on the screen and a second response signal to the controller for a request displayed on the screen. A tube cassette has a label bearing fluid delivery specification and allows fluid infusion upon the specification in the label matching parameters stored in an infusion pump.
