Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9320772A1] An enteral fluid delivery system (1) is disclosed having a fluid container (2) with a pierceable seal (10) covering an opening to the container (2). A connection component (6) connects an administration set (4) to the fluid container (2). The connection component (6) includes a hollow tube (48, 132) that is connected to the administration set (4) at one end and has a spike (50, 130) at the other end. During storage and transportation, spike (50, 130) is aligned with and positioned slightly away from the seal (10). In use, spike (50, 130) is linearly movable to pierce the seal (10) thereby communicating the fluid in the container (2) through the tube (48, 132) to the administration set (4). Spike (50, 130) is prevented from inadvertently moving to pierce the seal (10) by retaining means. The retaining means may be selectively disengaged thereby allowing the spike (50, 130) to move to pierce the seal (10). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the fluid container (2) and the administration set (4) are provided together in a set with the container (2) prefilled with fluid and the connection component (6) connecting the container (2) and the administration set (4) with the spike (50, 130) retained in position aligned with and positioned slightly away from seal (10).
