Valve

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to provide fluid nutrition and hydration. In one illustrative example, a feeding set for use with a peristaltic enteral feeding pump has sections of flexible tubing or conduit, a dispensing control valve that is in fluid communication with the tubing, and a retention disk. In some configurations, the feeding set has as attachment mechanism, which may be formed by one clips or hooks extending from the dispensing control valve and coupling geometry of the retention disk. By some approaches, the clips or hooks and the coupling geometry are configured to attach the feeding set with the pump, such as by attaching the feeding set to an internal panel of the feeding pump. In operation, the feeding set and pump are used to move fluid nutrition and hydration from a container or bag to the patient in a controlled manner.

Conduit

A conduit connector for an enteral feeding pump includes a fluid inlet portion that has an inlet axis and a fluid outlet portion that has an outlet axis that is parallel to and laterally offset from the inlet axis. The fluid inlet portion defines an elongated side slot extending parallel to the inlet axis for receiving tubing therethrough. The conduit connector further includes a bridge portion that extends between and connects the fluid inlet portion and the fluid outlet portion.
