Abstract: Improved feeding set connectors and cassettes are disclosed for use with peristaltic infusion pumps for safely delivering enteral nutritional fluids to a patient. The connectors provide an easy to use “pump-to-set” integration or “keying” system for specific reusable infusion pumps and their matching feeding sets, and can be utilized by medical professionals having various skill levels. The inventive feeding set cassettes can prevent accidental free flow of enteral fluids into a patient, even upon inadvertent release of the connector from the pumping mechanism.

Abstract: Feed and flush delivery devices are described for use in switching between delivery of enteral feeding fluid and flushing/hydration fluid to a patient, with both fluids being delivered through the same closed system. The delivery devices are simpler, easier to use, and are more cost effective than known prior art valves and control devices. Independent feed and flush lines are typically received by the delivery device, which merges the two lines into a single end delivery line so that either feeding or flushing fluid, but not both at the same time, can be conveyed through the end line, as desired and selected by the user. The delivery device is loaded onto the pumping mechanism of an enteral infusion pump, and can be part of a cassette which is used in combination with a particular brand of infusion pump.
