To provide a feeding set and an enteral feeding pump having a safety interlock device for determining that an administration feeding set to deliver a supply of nutrient fluid to a patient by a flow rate control device is surely mounted on an enteral feeding pump.
This enteral feeding pump 1 and feeding set 5 for use to deliver a supply of liquid to a patient includes conduits 67 and 63 for the nutrient liquid and a safety interlock device 61 associated with the conduits. The enteral feeding pump 1 has a pumping device such as a pump part 23 and a rotor 37, and a control system. An electromagnetic radiation source operatively connected to the control system emits an electromagnetic radiation signal in a direction for striking the safety interlock device 61 of the feeding set 5. The safety interlock device is adapted to affect the direction of the electromagnetic radiation. An electromagnetic radiation detector is operatively connected to the control system for receiving the electromagnetic radiation signal when the direction of the electromagnetic radiation signal is affected by the safety interlock device, and provides an indication to the control system that the feeding set conduits 67 and 63 are properly positioned in the enteral feeding pump 1.
