Indications For Use; Precautions - Abbott PATROL ENTERAL PUMP Manuel

INDICATIONS FOR USE

®
The Patrol Enteral Pump can be used for adult and pediatric patients, provided the
patients can tolerate a feeding range within the pump's operational specifications.
Those specifications are:
• The flow rate range is 1 to 300 mL/hr in 1-mL/hr increments.
• The flow rate accuracy is ±10% or ±0.5 mL/hr, whichever is greater.
• Pumps against 18 psi (124 kPa) nominal back pressure before no FLO alarm.
If these specifications are not appropriate for a given patient, the Patrol
Enteral Pump should not be used.

PRECAUTIONS

• NOT FOR IV USE.
• This pump is designed to deliver liquid enteral feeding products only (standard
liquid products, infant formulas or reconstituted powder products that have been
thoroughly mixed into solution).
• IF THE NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT USED IS CALORICALLY DENSE, VISCOUS,
CONTAINS FIBER, OR ANYTHING IS ADDED TO THE PRODUCT, ACTUAL
PRODUCT DELIVERED MAY BE BELOW THE DELIVERY RATE SET ON THE
PUMP.
• Enteral pumps may have the potential to bolus-feed or overdeliver, which is an
important consideration in feeding volume-sensitive patients. In these patients, do
not hang more volume of nutritional product than can be tolerated as a bolus and
monitor the patient closely, or as directed by physician.
• Confirm proper placement and function of patient's enteral feeding tube
(nasogastric, nasojejunal, gastrostomy, etc.). Failure to do so may result in
vomiting and/or aspiration. Verify the following before initiating feeding:
1. Only a Patrol
2. Pump set tubing is properly stretched counterclockwise under rotor and
90 degree connector is secured in the pump.
3. If the feeding set is damaged in any way (e.g. broken, cut, torn, parts
separated), replace the set immediately. A BROKEN Safe-T-Valve MAY
RESULT IN A FREE FLOW EVENT.
4. Flow rate is set at the prescribed mL/hr (dial: SET RATE; refer to page 6).
To avoid enteral product bacterial contamination, pump set and container should be
replaced as prescribed on nutritional feeding set labeling. For single-patient use
only.
Only Abbott Nutrition-authorized personnel are permitted to service this medical
device. Unauthorized personnel should not open the pump or repair/replace any
components, including batteries and labeling.
