Abstract
A method of operating an enteral feeding pump to deliver fluid through a pump set, the method comprising determining with a controller of the enteral feeding pump if an occlusion exists in the pump set based on the controller monitoring a sensor signal from a sensor indicative of a rotational position of a rotor of the pump during operation of a motor of the pump to rotate the rotor at a reduced output less than a feeding output for rotating the rotor to produce fluid flow in the pump set during a feeding cycle, the motor operating at the reduced output for a shorter period of time than the feeding output.
