A certification cassette for testing a pumping apparatus including at least one identification reader. The cassette comprises a housing configured for releasable attachment to the pumping apparatus in an aligned position. A space defined within the housing is configured to receive a rotor of the pumping apparatus therein when the housing is in the aligned position. The space is free of fluid carrying conduits disposed for engaging the rotor. An identification member is positioned in the housing. The identification member is operable to induce an expected identification reader response when the identification reader is functioning properly. The cassette is arranged to operatively align the identification member with the identification reader when the housing is in the aligned position.
