Abstract
The performance of five enteral feeding pumps was investigated in terms of flow volume delivered at selected rate settings using three commercial enteral feeds of differing weight per millilitre values. There were significant differences in the performances of pumps over the range of settings, particularly at levels >100 ml/h with the highest density feed. The mean accuracy of delivery was within ±10% of that expected on all but one occasion. The significance of the observations in relation to possible sources of error is discussed.
