Embodiment Construction

[0013] In a first aspect, for mounting a pump set for enteral delivery of fluid to a subject by the pump set, the enteral delivery pump generally includes a housing capable of receiving at least a portion of the pump set. As the pumping device is in contact with the pump set when the pump set is received by the housing, the pumping device acts on the pump set to generate fluid flow in the pump set for enteral delivery of the fluid to the subject. A sensor is coupled to the housing for sensing acceleration of at least a portion of the housing caused by an impact to the housing and generating a signal in response to the sensed acceleration. Control circuitry in the housing is configured to perform operations after the sensor generates a predetermined sequence of signals. The control circuitry may be configured to recognize and correlate predetermined signal sequences with operation. The control circuit may be configured to recognize and correlate other predetermined signal sequ...

Abstract

An enteral feeding (e.g. roller) pump (1) for mounting a pump set for enteral delivery of fluid to a subject, including a housing (3) which comprises a pump motor (27), control circuit (77) and display (19). An acceleration sensor (8) is connected to the housing for sensing acceleration caused by a critical impact (e.g. pump being dropped) such that the controller can suspend operation of the pump for safety reasons. The sensor can also be used to recognize finger tap sequences of the user on the housing in order to control operation of the pump, like for example illuminating the display. A further use of the sensor is to sense the spatial orientation of the pump in order to adapt the orientation of the digital display.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to pumps for delivering fluid to a subject by means of a pump set, and more particularly to enteral delivery pumps having sensors for detecting movement of the pump. Background technique [0002] Administration of fluids containing drugs or nutrients to patients is well known in the art. Typically, the fluid is delivered to the patient by a pump set, such as an enteral pump, onboard the flow control device, which delivers the fluid to the patient at a controlled delivery rate. The enteral delivery pump may comprise a housing enclosing a rotor or the like operatively connected to at least one motor through a gearbox. The rotor may drive fluid through the tubing of the pump unit by peristaltic action caused by rotation of the motor-driven rotor. The motor is operatively connected to a rotatable shaft connected to a rotor that progressively compresses the tubing to drive fluid through the pump set at a controlled rate. Th...
