Zusammenfassung:A non-electrically driven enteral feeding pump including an expandable elastomeric bladder is provided. The enteral feeding pump includes a fluid delivery tube. The fluid delivery tube controls flow rate of fluid from the pump. The present invention further describes an enteral feeding pump assembly including the portable enteral feeding pump and a peristaltic pump. The peristaltic pump can be configured to be operatively coupled to the elastomeric bladder of the enteral feeding pump for transferring fluid from a reservoir external to the elastomeric bladder into a chamber of the elastomeric bladder.
