Kangaroo™ Joey Enteral Feed and Flush Pump with Pole Clamp

Feed & Flush Pump Sets
For feed & flush pump sets, the display will appear as in Figure 8B. First press and hold
HOLD TO PRIME FLUSH
to prime the
flushing line, and then press and hold
HOLD TO PRIME FEED
to prime the feed line down to the stepped end connector at the
end of the pump set.
If a feed & flush pump set is used, remember to first press
HOLD TO PRIME FLUSH until the flushing fluid has reached the valve,
and then press HOLD TO PRIME FEED until the feeding fluid has reached past the valve and down to the stepped end connector.
If the feeding line is primed first, subsequent priming of the flushing line will force the air between the flush solution bag and valve
into the main line, which already has been primed with enteral formula.
Re-priming after Bag Empty
A pump set bag that has been emptied will trigger the
FEED ERROR
screen. In this condition the pump set bag can be refilled to
continue the feeding, but only after the pump set has been re-primed.
To re-prime the pump set, do the following:
•
Disconnect the feeding line from the patient
• Refill the bag
• Press
CONTINUE to begin the pump RUNNING
• Press HOLD
• Press
ADJUST SETTINGS
• Press
PRIME PUMP
• Press HOLD TO PRIME to prime the line(s)
Pump sets should not be reused after 24 hours of initial usage.
Selecting Feed Mode
EZ Pump Mode Option
The EZ PUMP MODE option is a limited, CONTINUOUS MODE only setting of Kangaroo Joey enteral feed and flush pump with pole
clamp. It feeds non-stop (no VTBD option) at a rate 0-400mL/hr as defined by the user until manually stopped. It has no BOLUS ,
FLUSHING , RUN MODE SCREEN LOCK , or AUTORESUME capability and displays no HISTORY information.
Turning on
EZ PUMP MODE
will automatically force the unit out of the
INTERMITTENT (BOLUS FEED) MODE
if set. Although the
Continuous Mode feed VTBD will be set to 0 while
EZ PUMP MODE
is enabled, the previous value of the
FEED VTBD
will be stored
in the pump memory and recalled when “
EZ PUMP MODE
” is deselected. The user can change the Feed Rate by normal means. All
other user settings, including those not compatible with the
EZ PUMP MODE (BOLUS VTBD
,
NUMBER OF BOLUSES
,
SUPER
BOLUS
, etc), that were set before the pump was put into the
EZ PUMP MODE
will be ignored and invisible while in
EZ PUMP
MODE
but remain stored in the pump memory for when
EZ PUMP MODE
is deselected.
EZ PUMP MODE
essentially has no effect
on
CLEAR SETTINGS
; pressing
CLEAR SETTINGS
while
EZ PUMP MODE
is enabled will clear all feed and flush settings and
totalizers as normal, not just those that apply to
EZ PUMP MODE
. Selecting the
CLEAR SETTINGS
option on power up will not
clear
Biotech Option
s such as
EZ PUMP MODE
or
LOCK SETTINGS
.
If the user selects the ADJUST FEED option from either the LOAD A SET or SET LOADED screens, control will pass directly to and
from the Enter Feed Rate screen and bypass the ADJUST FEED screen since without the ability to adjust VTBD in EZ PUMP MODE ,
the Adjust Feed screen is redundant.
