Couldn't load pickup availability
The B.Braun Enteroport Plus is a precision enteral nutrition pump engineered for reliable, volume-controlled feeding via nasogastric, nasojejunal, gastrostomy, or jejunostomy routes. Its compact, lightweight chassis is optimised for outpatient clinics, home-care programmes, and step-down ward use where mains power is available.

Clinical Q&A
Q: What feeding routes is the Enteroport Plus validated for?
A: The pump is validated for nasogastric (NG), nasojejunal (NJ), percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ), and surgical jejunostomy routes. The peristaltic mechanism is route-agnostic provided a compatible B.Braun Ultraset or Finesse administration set is used.
Q: How does the air-in-line alarm function?
A: An ultrasonic sensor in the pump head continuously monitors the giving-set tubing for air bubbles. Detection of a defined air volume threshold triggers simultaneous acoustic and visual alarms and arrests pump rotation, preventing aeroembolism risk associated with enteral feeding.
Q: What is the minimum and maximum programmable flow rate?
A: The Enteroport Plus delivers 1–300 mL/h in 1 mL/h increments, with a stated accuracy of ±5% of set rate across the full range. This permits both low-rate nocturnal continuous feeds (e.g., 40–60 mL/h) and higher-rate bolus-equivalent continuous infusions.
Q: Is the device suitable for paediatric enteral nutrition protocols?
A: The 1 mL/h minimum flow rate and fine increment programming make the Enteroport Plus appropriate for paediatric and neonatal enteral nutrition when prescribed flow rates fall within the 1–300 mL/h operating range. Clinicians should confirm compatibility with local paediatric dietetic protocols.
Q: Which regulatory standards govern the Enteroport Plus?
A: The device complies with IEC 60601-1 Edition 3.1 (general safety and essential performance for medical electrical equipment), IEC 60601-1-2 (electromagnetic compatibility), and is manufactured under ISO 13485:2016 quality management. It is notified to the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) Singapore as a Class B medical device.
