The Keep Tube Open (KTO) function within the Kangaroo Joey enteral feed and flush pump
with pole clamp will help prevent a blockage of the feeding set by moving the feeding solution
periodically within the tube. On regular intervals, calculated from the pump’s presently
programmed feed rate, a small and clinically insignificant portion of feeding solution is moved
through the tube. The amount of delivered fluid is monitored, tracked, and calculated into the
final feed volume totalizer amounts displayed to the user. The
KTO
feature can be activated
via the
RUNNING
screen. To activate the
KTO
feature, press the input button to the left of the
KTO
icon, see Figure 15A, to immediately input a desired time in minutes for which the pump
will remain in the “Keep Tube Open” mode before resuming the previously programmed feeding
regimen. Each press of the input button will increment the
KTO
time by 5-minute increments,
up to 30 minutes, see Figure 15B. After “30” is reached, each additional button press will
increment in larger time steps, up to a maximum of 240 minutes. Another button push after
240 will cycle the
KTO
back to 5 minutes. No other input is needed to start the countdown, as
the time immediately counts down after the incremental value is reached.
Lock Screen Feature
The Kangaroo Joey enteral feed and flush pump with pole clamp can be set to
RUN
and then
be locked out from unintended use. While the
LOCK SETTINGS
feature prevents changes only
to the input parameters, the
LOCK SCREEN
feature will lock out any button presses, including
RUN
or
HOLD
, except power off.
Use
LOCK SCREEN
when the pump is running and there is a need to prevent unintended button
activation, such as putting the pump into an unwanted
HOLD
. The
RUNNING
screen will show
a padlock to indicate that no changes can be made without unlocking the screen.
To lock the screen, use the following procedure while the pump is in
RUNNING
mode:
• Press and hold the third button from the top (with padlock next to it) for at least 4 seconds,
and then release it.
To unlock the screen, use the same procedure above.
