Abstract

The flows delivered by two enteral feeding systems (Vygon and Clinifeed) were measured. Both systems delivered flows that were higher than the setting, with the error most significant at low flows. Some of these errors can be avoided if the operator takes special care when inserting the administration set in the pump.
