Intermittent Mode Flushing

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.

The pump will automatically limit flushing settings which exceed pump capabilities to deliver.
Caution: The Kangaroo™ Joey enteral feed and flush pump with pole clamp 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™ Joey enteral feed and flush pump with pole clamp 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
The RUN option can be selected from the following screens, if the proper parameters are programmed and the pump set is loaded:
• SET LOADED screens (Figures 7A-7D)
• ADJUST FEED screen, continuous mode (Figure 11A)
• ADJUST FLUSH screens (Figure 12A, 14A)
• HOLDING screens (Figure 18A)
