Intermittent Mode Flushing

For INTERMITTENT feeding mode with a feed & flush set, the opening menu, shown in Figure 7D, will show the ADJUST FLUSH
option. Press ADJUST FLUSH in Figure 7D to program the flushing parameters from the ADJUST FLUSH screen, Figure 14A.

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 FLUSH VOLUME in Figure 14A to define the volume per flush cycle. Press the

volume from 10 to 500 in increments of 1 mL. Press
FLUSH INTERVAL in Figure 14A to define the time interval between starts of flushing. Press the

program the time interval from 1 to 24 hours in increments of 1 hour. Press
The pump will automatically limit flushing settings which exceed pump capabilities to deliver.
Caution: The Kangaroo™ ePump™ feed and flush 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 feed and flush 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
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
