3. ALARMS, MESSAGES, AND INDICATIONS
NO FOOD (Figure 3-6)
Pump will sound a dual tone beep repeatedly and
display will read NO FOOD.
Why:
This alarm has occurred because pump has
detected air in the tubing. It takes approximately
1 ml of air, which is approximately 5 inches (12.7
cm) in length entering the orange colored tubing to
cause an alarm.
To correct the problem:
Press the
RUN/PAUSE
key to silence alarm and place pump in pause
mode, then check the following:
1. Check feeding bag for food. If it is empty, refill bag and prime the set to
remove air from the bag and tubing.
2. Check tubing for air bubbles. If bag is full but air is present in the tubing,
disconnect set from patient, press and hold the
PRIME
key until air bubble
has moved to the end of the tubing.
3. Check cassette receptacle for cleanliness,
especially around the air sensor. If cleaning is
necessary, refer to
CHAPTER 5 - CLEANING
(Page 29)
.
4. Check that an Infinity brand disposable set is
loaded into pump properly and door is closed.
5. Check disposable set for worn tubing. If it is
worn, replace with a new set.
NOTE: Blenderized or aggressively mixed solutions
may have foam. Small foam bubbles may collect in
the air sensor area and must be cleared in order to
avoid a NO FOOD alarm. Allowing foamy solutions to
sit for 10 to 15 minutes after mixing and prior to pour
-
ing into the bag will reduce the amount of foam.
