NICU/PICU/Ped enteral pumps

We are looking into changing our enteral pumps. Our NICU uses the ABC pump and PICU/Ped use the medfusion pump. We also use medfusion pump for IV syringe medications. We are in the process of differentiating an enteral feed medfusion pump vs IV med medfusion pump by using an orange faceplate sticker for the enteral pumps. Administration is still concerned that a nurse can administer an IV med using dose/time and would like to use pumps from different manufacturers.
What pumps do you use for enteral feeds and IV syringe medications?
