A feeding pump is used to administer the amount of nutrition provided to infants or bedridden adults during tube feeding over an extended period. Tube feeding with an enteral feeding pump provides timely nutrition to those who cannot eat or drink directly from their mouth due to their severe condition or ailments that hinder normal eating. In such circumstances, the doctor inserts a feeding tube into the patient's digestive tract to deliver enteral nutrition or medicinal supplements using an irrigation syringe to keep them nourished.

Features of Enteral Feeding Pumps

The feeding tube machine comes with additional features including:

Screen Display: The enteral pump has a display screen for programming options and to help diagnose the operation.
Alarms and Indicators: The tube feeding machine uses alarms or indicators to troubleshoot the most common error messages.
Automatic Tube Flush: A tube feeding pump provides an automatic flushing facility when used with feeding sets such as Kangaroo ePump Feeding Set with Flush Sets.
Anti-Free-Flow Mechanisms: This mechanism for enteral feeding pumps prevents free flow in an infusion pump, which relates to associated devices that regulate the desirable rate of flow.
Transparent Top Door Protection: Enteral pumps have a clear, transparent top door to protect the pump set.
