If the feeding line is primed first, subsequent priming of the flushing line will force the air between the flush solution bag and valve
into the main line, which already has been primed with enteral formula.

Re-priming after Bag Empty

A pump set bag that has been emptied will trigger the FEED ERROR screen. In this condition the pump set bag can be refilled to
continue the feeding, but only after the pump set has been re-primed.
To re-prime the pump set, do the following:
• Disconnect the feeding line from the patient
• Refill the bag
• Press CONTINUE to begin the pump RUNNING

Pump sets should not be reused after 24 hours of initial usage. The feeding set should also be replaced after 24 hours from initiation
of feeding. This ensures that the system is operating within specified parameters and prevents bacterial growth that could be a
hazard to the patient.

Selecting Feed Mode

EZMODE Option

The EZMODE option is a limited, CONTINUOUS MODE only setting of ePump™. It feeds non-stop (no VTBD option) at a rate
0-400mL/hr as defined by the user until manually stopped. It has no BOLUS, FLUSHING, RUN MODE SCREEN LOCK, or
AUTORESUME capability and displays no HISTORY information.
Turning on EZMODE will automatically force the unit out of the INTERMITTENT (BOLUS FEED) mode if set. Although the
Continuous Mode feed VTBD will be set to 0 while EZMODE is enabled, the previous value of the Feed VTBD will be stored in flash
memory and recalled when "EZMODE" is deselected. The user can change the Feed Rate by normal means. All other user settings,
including those not compatible with the EZMODE (BOLUS VTBD, NUMBER OF BOLUSES, SUPER BOLUS, etc), that were set
before the pump was put into the EZMODE will be ignored and invisible while in EZMODE but remain stored in the flash memory
for when EZMODE is deselected. EZMode essentially has no effect on CLEAR SETTINGS; pressing CLEAR SETTINGS while
EZMODE is enabled will clear all feed and flush settings and totalizers as normal, not just those that apply to EZMODE. Selecting
the CLEAR SETTINGS option on power up will not clear Biotech Options such as EZMODE or LOCK SETTINGS.
If the user selects the ADJUST FEED option from either the LOAD A SET or SET LOADED screens, control will pass directly to and
from the Enter Feed Rate screen and bypass the ADJUST FEED screen since without the ability to adjust VTBD in EZMode, the
Adjust Feed screen is redundant.
