Abstract
A portable enteral feeding apparatus includes a pouch which defines a reservoir for enteral fluid and having an outlet for delivery of enteral fluid from the pouch. An outlet spout has a pouch spigot connected to the pouch outlet and a connector spigot which is adapted for mounting of a connector shaft, in one case a cross fit shaft of an ENFit connector. A valve is mounted to the spout. The connector spigot has a mounting structure for mounting a connector shaft of a PEG feeding system to the connector spigot only when the connector shaft is extended through the valve. An interlock prevents fixing of a connector shaft to the connector spigot if the connector shaft is not extended through the valve.
