- This pump is an enteral-only system optimized for highly accurate, low-volume nutritional delivery, primarily for neonatal and pediatric patients, but also used by adults requiring small doses
Uses
- Designed for use across various care settings:
- Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) and pediatric care for precise delivery of breast milk or formula
- Home care and long-term care facilities where portability is vital for patients' quality of life
- For patients requiring small-volume feedings (flow rates between 0.1mL/hr and 300mL/hr)
- To support adherence to prescribed feeding regimens for conditions like pediatric failure to thrive (FTT) or dysphagia
Features
- Flow Rate Range:
- Delivers nutrition at rates from 0.1 mL/hr up to 300 mL/hr with high accuracy
- Accuracy:
- Maintains a high accuracy of ± 5%, regardless of the flow rate or the pump's orientation during use
- Safety:
- An enteral-only system with orange-striped delivery sets and ENFit®-compatible connectors to prevent accidental IV misconnections
- Portability:
- Extremely lightweight (around 14.4 oz or 408 g) and compact, allowing patients to be fully mobile
- Low Maintenance:
- The pump is water-resistant and can be cleaned by rinsing under running water; it requires no annual maintenance or calibration
- Battery Life:
- Features a built-in lithium-ion battery that provides approximately 24 hours of operation at a rate of 125mL/hr
- User-Friendly Interface:
- Features an intuitive design with rate, dose, and food type confirmation before starting a feed, reducing the potential for programming errors
Benefits
- Improved Patient Safety:
- Dedicated enteral-only design and specialized connectors drastically reduce the risk of dangerous medical fluid misconnections
- Enhanced Mobility and Independence:
- The small size and lightweight design allow patients to be active and mobile, which supports a higher quality of life and adherence to feeding schedules
- Clinical Accuracy:
- Precise flow control ensures patients, especially neonates and pediatric cases, receive exact dosages as prescribed, which is crucial for recovery and growth
- Ease of Caregiver Use:
- The intuitive interface and easy-to-load sets simplify the feeding process, allowing caregivers to focus on other aspects of patient care
- Durability and Reliability:
- The rugged, water-resistant design and lack of annual maintenance requirements make the pump reliable for continuous use in demanding home and clinical environments
