Note:
The nature of two intermittent processes, periodic bolus feeding and periodic flushing, is such that occasional
conflicts can arise where each process needs to be running at the same time. The flushing process is assigned precedence
over the feeding process for Feed & Flush pump sets. “Flushing precedence” means that a flush cycle will run to its end
even if a bolus delivery is scheduled to begin. It also means that a flush cycle will interrupt a bolus feeding cycle that
is already in progress. The feeding cycle will pick up where it was interrupted after the flushing cycle is complete. It is
therefore possible that the net feeding volume is reduced from what may be intended, over a given time period.
Press
4
FLUSH VOLUME
in Figure 13A to define the volume per flush cycle. Press the
4
buttons in Figure 13B to
program the flush volume from 10 to 500 in increments of 1 ml. Press
4
ENTER
(top button) to exit the menu.
Press
4
FLUSH INTERVAL
in Figure 13A to define the time interval between starts of flushing. Press the
4
buttons in
Figure 13C to program the time interval from 1 to 24 hours in increments of 1 hour. Press
4
ENTER
to exit the menu.
The pump will automatically limit flushing settings which exceed pump capabilities to deliver.
CAUTION:
The KANGAROO ePump enteral feeding pump flushes at a rate of 1960 mL/hr (32.7 mL/minute). Use care
when programming the flush volume so that it matches the patient’s need.
NOTE:
The pump will automatically flush an additional 25 ml of water after completing the programmed delivery of
formula, as long as at least one flush had occurred during formula delivery.
Run
The KANGAROO ePump enteral feeding pump will only run when a Pump Set is properly loaded and the necessary
feeding parameters have been programmed. For a Feed & Flush Set, the flushing parameters do not have to be set for the
pump to begin operating. If flushing parameters are set as zeros, there will be no flushing.
After the pump has been programmed, press
4
RUN
to start operation. Figure 14 shows the
RUNNING
screen for
RUNNING
RUNNING
continuous feeding with flushing. The status line will indicate
RUNNING
, and the droplet icon will move vertically on
the screen. The green LED indicator will be illuminated to give a quick visual indication of positive status in a darkened
room.
The
RUNNING
screen shows the feed rate, amount fed, flushing data if a Feed & Flush Pump Set is used, and the
remaining volume to be delivered (remaining VTBD). The remaining VTBD is shown next to the v icon.
