INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (continued)
9. Access pump control dial by pressing PUSH. Turn to SET RATE and select flow
rate from 5 to 300 mL/hr by pressing touch pads (arrow buttons). Confirm
proper placement and function of enteral feeding tube. Attach adapter to enteral
tube.
10. Turn dial to RUN to start feeding. If cassette is not properly seated, EMPTY
alarm will sound after a short delay. For example, the alarm will sound within
30 seconds at 100 mL/hr. Always check sight chamber (if applicable) of pump
set when starting feeding to verify that the formula is dripping. If no drops are
detected, check the feeding container, the set tubing (between pump and the
enteral feeding container), and the patient's feeding tube for particles, clumping,
or kinking that would prevent fluid flow.
NOTE: If alarm sounds, turn pump dial to HOLD. Correct alarm condition indicated
by visual display, then turn pump dial to RUN to restart feeding. For an explanation of
alarms, see Page 11.
11. When feeding is completed, turn pump dial to HOLD or POWER OFF. Pump
stops and sounds an alarm automatically when the container is empty.
12. Disconnect pump set tubing from patient's enteral feeding tube, release cassette
from pump by pressing release latch downward, and discard set and container.
