Our transport team has inquired about the safety implications of using the B. Braun Perfusor Space Syringe pump for both enteral feeds and IV products. The benefit is a reduction in both weight and space, which will be particularly beneficial for transport via helicopter. This product has a removable purple enteral faceplate available to distinguish from the default green faceplate. The pump is compatible with ENFit syringes, but there is no hard stop requiring the use of the color-coded faceplate or to prevent administration of an enteral product IV, which makes me hesitate.

I am not finding literature supporting the use of a pump for both enteral and parenteral administration or reports of errors with this particular product. Does anyone use this pump for transport? Any recommendations?

Thank you!
