Enteral feeding safety reservoir and system
The present invention provides a one-piece bottle containing enteral feeding material and having a top end with a threaded section and a bottom end comprising a funneled connector port; and a threaded cap dimensioned to mate with the threaded section of the one-piece bottle; wherein the funneled connector port connects to an enteral feeding assembly; wherein the threaded cap provides a leak proof seal such that there is no exposure point until it is used for feeding, thereby preventing contamination.
1. A system comprising:
a one-piece bottle containing enteral feeding material and having a top end with a threaded section and a bottom end comprising a funneled connector port; and
a threaded cap dimensioned to mate with the threaded section of the one-piece bottle;
wherein the funneled connector port connects to an enteral feeding assembly;
wherein the threaded section of the bottle includes pockets, and wherein the threaded cap includes mirrored detents that provide a seal when aligned with the pockets and create vents when detached from the pockets.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein a bottom narrow end of the funneled connector port terminates in a female luer lock.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the female luer lock is molded to the funneled connector port.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the female luer lock is a screw type lock.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein a bottom narrow end of the funneled connector port terminates in a male luer lock.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the threaded section of the bottle includes interrupted threads, and wherein the threaded cap includes corresponding interrupted threads that align with the interrupted threads of the bottle for venting, hut otherwise form a seal.
