Rotor Error
(High Priority Alarm)
The ROTOR ERROR screen appears during RUNNING or PRIMING, when the pump has
detected that the pump set is no longer providing sufficient tension on the rotor. See Figure 27.
The ROTOR ERROR generally results from a problem with the Pump Set tubing around
the rotor.
Check that the pump set is not damaged, and re-load the tubing around the rotor as described
in subsection "Loading Pump Sets". Press
If the error cannot be resolved, press
different pump into service. Detection of this alarm condition may take up to 70 minutes to
occur at 1 mL/hr or up to 1 minute to occur at flow rates greater than 125 mL/hr.

If the error still cannot be resolved, press
of this alarm condition may take up to 360 minutes to occur at 1 mL/hr or up to 18 minutes to occur at flow rates greater than
125 mL/hr.
Note: An occlusion may pressurize the feeding set, which can result in an unintended bolus of feed or flush solution when the
occlusion is cleared. This volume is less than 1ml.

(Medium Priority Alarm)
The HOLD ERROR screen will appear if the pump has been inactive, without input, for more than
10 minutes. See subsection "Hold" for description of HOLDING mode, Figure 26.
Press
CONTINUE to return to the previous screen. Where settings can be adjusted, the pump can

be set to run immediately, or the pump can be set to run in a specified number of minutes. See
Figures 18A-18B to see the options on the HOLDING menu screen.
If the error cannot be resolved, press
pump into service. Detection of this alarm condition may take up to 10 minutes to occur under
normal operating conditions.

Feed Error
(Medium Priority Alarm)
The FEED ERROR screen appears when the enteral formula is no longer being delivered because
the bag is empty or because of a clog between the pump and the bag. The pump determines this
by measuring the amount of fluid in the tube over time. Large amounts of foam or bubbles in the
feeding solution can also be a cause for this alarm. Check the bag to see if it is empty and re-fill the
bag as required. If the bag still contains feeding solution, remove cassette and check the bag side
tubing for excessive foam or bubbles. Clear bubbles from line and reload the feeding set or replace
with a new feeding set. Check the feed line to find the occlusion causing the blockage. If the
occlusion cannot be cleared, load a new pump set, prime it, and restart the feeding, Figure 28.
