Blackstone HS-01C

Product Code: SATE-3219

Rotary Peristaltic Delivery from 1 to 1200 ml/h, Accuracy of 5 Per Cent, Occlusion Pressure Across Seven Levels and 24 Hours of Battery

The Blackstone HS-01C is an enteral feeding pump that uses a rotary peristaltic mechanism to deliver 1 to 1200 ml an hour with 5 per cent accuracy. It provides continuous and intermittent feeding, adjusts occlusion pressure across seven levels, runs 24 hours at 125 ml an hour, and weighs 0.8 kg. Available through Medigear.uk.

Hold this enteral feeding pump sheet against the rest of the Blackstone catalogue, and the difference is striking. Accuracy is given at 5 per cent. Occlusion pressure runs 20 to 80 kPa across seven levels. The battery is quoted at 24 hours running 125 ml an hour, which states endurance against a rate rather than as a bare number. Ingress protection, weight, dimensions, power draw and a full alarm list all appear. Across five ventilators, six patient monitors and four infusion pumps, nothing has been documented this completely.

The features behind those numbers are sensible too. Back pumping reverses the rotor to relieve pressure and draw back from the line, clearing a partial blockage without disconnecting anything. A drop sensor raises an alarm when a bag empties rather than letting the pump push air onward. Adjustable occlusion matters because a fine-bore nasogastric tube and a gastrostomy tube block at very different pressures. One fixed threshold would alarm needlessly on one and miss a blockage on the other. Eight alarms are named as well, including one for an unfinished operation.

One thing is missing, and it is the important one. The sheet does not name the connector standard. ENFit exists because enteral feeding sets once shared connectors with intravenous lines. Feed delivered into a vein kills people. The response was a connector physically incapable of joining the wrong route.

Whether the dedicated tube on this enteral feeding pump uses ENFit is not a preference, and Medigear.uk establishes it before this pump is offered.

An enteral feeding pump is not a drug delivery device, and this specification reflects that correctly. Five per cent accuracy is looser than the 1.5 per cent a Blackstone syringe pump claims, and that is right rather than a shortfall: a feed runs at hundreds of millilitres an hour over many hours, and what matters is that a patient receives their prescribed nutrition over a day, not that each millilitre lands precisely. Applying drug-pump tolerances here would mean paying for a precision that nobody in the chain actually needs.

Adjustable occlusion pressure is where an enteral feeding pump earns its keep. Fine-bore nasogastric tubes block readily, particularly where medication has been given through them. A gastrostomy tolerates far more pressure before anything is actually wrong. Seven levels spanning 20 to 80 kPa let the threshold follow the feeding access rather than the pump. That reduces both false alarms that get ignored and real blockages that get missed entirely.

The warming function needs a conversation with a dietetic team, not an assumption about how it will be used. Feed held at temperature supports bacterial growth. That is exactly why hang times for enteral feed are limited in the first place, and adding warmth shortens the window further still. The sheet is missing the temperature reached and the period the feed is held at it.

Medigear.uk obtains the warming specification, the connector standard, the dedicated tube arrangement and the blank entries on the sheet before this pump reaches a ward.

A Sheet That Actually Specifies

Accuracy, occlusion pressure, battery against a rate, ingress rating, weight and dimensions are all published, which almost nothing else in this catalogue manages.

Battery Quoted Against a Rate

Twenty-four hours at 125 ml an hour states endurance the way it should, since running time depends on how fast the pump is working.

Occlusion Pressure Adjustable

Seven levels across 20 to 80 kPa let the alarm threshold follow the feeding access instead of forcing one setting on every tube.

Back Pumping Fitted

Reversing the rotor relieves line pressure and clears a partial blockage without opening the set.

A Drop Sensor

An empty bag raises an alarm rather than the pump quietly drawing air into the line and continuing to run.

Eight Named Alarms

Door, occlusion, near completion, forgotten operation, completion, low battery, exhausted battery and malfunction are each listed rather than implied.

Light and Small

At 800 grams with a footprint of roughly 100 by 94 mm, it suits a pole or a bedside table without dominating either.

Nurse Call Connection

Pump alarms reach a ward call system rather than depending on somebody being within earshot of the bed space.

Rotary Peristaltic Mechanism

Driving feed through a dedicated set.

Flow 1 to 1200 ml an Hour

In one millilitre increments.

Accuracy of 5 Per Cent

Credit is owed to this enteral feeding pump sheet. This is the most completely specified sheet Blackstone publishes across the whole catalogue: accuracy, occlusion pressure with its adjustment range, battery endurance quoted against an actual feeding rate, ingress protection, weight, dimensions, power and eight named alarms. After five ventilators and six monitors publishing almost none of that, it shows Blackstone can document a product properly when it chooses. The machine behind the figures is sound too, with back pumping, a drop sensor and occlusion thresholds that follow the feeding access rather than overriding it. One question outranks everything on the page. The connector standard is not named, and ENFit exists because enteral feed reaching an intravenous line has killed patients. Whether the dedicated tube cannot physically join the wrong route is not a preference to be settled later. Medigear.uk establishes it before this enteral feeding pump is quoted.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

The sheet does not say, and it is the first thing we establish. ENFit was introduced because enteral sets once shared connectors with intravenous lines, and feeding into a vein is fatal. A connector that cannot join the wrong route is the whole point of the standard.

Because enteral feeding is not drug delivery. A feed runs at hundreds of millilitres an hour over many hours, and the tolerance that matters is nutritional across a day. Drug-pump precision of 1.5 per cent would be paying for accuracy the application does not need.

It reverses the rotor, relieving pressure in the line and drawing back from it. That clears a partial blockage without anyone disconnecting the set, and it reduces the pressure that would otherwise be sitting against a tube after an occlusion alarm.

Because different access blocks at different pressures. A fine-bore nasogastric tube occludes readily, especially after medication has passed through it, and a gastrostomy tolerates much more. Seven levels let the threshold suit the tube rather than the pump.

Twenty-four hours running at 125 ml an hour, and beyond 24 hours at 25 ml an hour. Stating endurance against a feeding rate is the correct way to give the figure, and it is the only Blackstone sheet across this catalogue that does so.

That is a question for a dietetic team. Feed held at temperature supports bacterial growth, which is why hang times are limited, and warming shortens that window. The sheet gives no temperature or holding period, so both are obtained before the function is relied upon.

Yes, a dedicated tube is required. This is a standing consumable commitment for the working life of the pump, so supply and terms are quoted with the machine rather than discovered once it has arrived on a ward.

The connector standard above all, then the warming temperature and holding period, dedicated tube supply, the blank feeding bag entry, the unlabelled 0 to 30 ml an hour range, network requirements, the governing standard and conformity marking.
