Abstract
In accordance with the purpose(s) of the present disclosure, as embodied and broadly described herein, the disclosure relates to enteral feeding pumps with expanded functionality, enteral feeding pump systems, methods of operating enteral feeding pump systems, and the like.
Claims20
An enteral feeding pump, comprising:
- at least one motor driver;
- a fluid delivery system comprising:
- at least one motor configured to actuate at least one actuator, wherein the at least one motor is in data communication with the at least one motor driver;
- the at least one actuator configured to actuate a fluid within at least one fluid reservoir;
- and
- the at least one fluid reservoir configured to contain the fluid and in fluidic communication with at least one tube, wherein the at least one fluid reservoir is connected to the at least one actuator at a first end of the at least one fluid reservoir and has a receiving end at a second end of the at least one fluid reservoir configured to removably connect to the at least one tube;
- and
- the at least one tube, wherein the at least one tube is in fluidic communication with the at least one fluid reservoir, wherein the at least one tube removably connects at a first end of the at least one tube to the receiving end of the at least one fluid reservoir, and wherein the at least one tube is configured to deliver the fluid from the at least one fluid reservoir when the at least one actuator is actuated by the at least one motor.
5 more elements
An enteral feeding pump system, comprising:
- a housing, wherein the housing comprises:
- two or more openings extending from an interior of the housing to an outer surface of the housing, wherein each of the two or more openings is configured to fit a tube;
- a control system disposed within the interior of the housing, wherein the control system comprises:
- two or more motor drivers;
- a computing device comprising a processor and a memory;
- and
- machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to at least:
- acquire a user input;
- generate an instruction for at least one of the two or more motor drivers based at least in part on the user input;
- and
- control at least one of the two or more motor drivers based at least in part on the instruction;
- a user interface disposed within the outer surface of the housing and in data communication with the control system;
- a fluid delivery system disposed within the interior of the housing, wherein the fluid delivery system comprises two or more bays, wherein each of the two or more bays comprises:
- a motor configured to actuate an actuator, wherein the motor is in data communication with at least one motor driver;
- the actuator configured to actuate a fluid within a fluid reservoir;
- and
- the fluid reservoir configured to contain the fluid and in fluidic communication with the tube, wherein the fluid reservoir is connected to the actuator at a first end of the fluid reservoir and has a receiving end at a second end of the fluid reservoir configured to removably connect to the tube;
- and
- two or more tubes, wherein each of the two or more tubes is in fluidic communication with the fluid reservoir, wherein each of the two or more tubes removably connects at a first end to the receiving end of the fluid reservoir, and wherein each of the two or more tubes is configured to deliver the fluid from the fluid reservoir when the actuator is actuated by the motor.
16 more elements
A method of operating an enteral feeding pump, comprising:
- acquiring a user input;
- generating an instruction for at least one motor driver based at least in part on the user input;
- controlling, by the at least one motor driver, a motor in data communication with the at least one motor driver based at least in part on the instruction;
- and
- actuating, by the motor, an actuator configured to actuate a fluid within a fluid reservoir to deliver the fluid from the fluid reservoir to a tube.
