Prime Pump The Kangaroo™ ePump™ enteral feed and flush pump may be primed automatically with a single button push, including the flushing line if a feed & flush set is loaded. The pump can also be primed in a more interactive method using the hold-to-prime feature. The flow rate for priming, whether Auto Prime or Hold-to-Prime, is 1960 ml/hr (32.7 mL/minute). Note: During priming the Flow Error alarm is disabled. After a pump set has been loaded and the status line shows SET LOADED, press4PRIME PUMP in the opening menu (Figures 7A-7D) to get one of the PRIME PUMP menus shown in Figures 8A-8B.
Figure 8A. PRIME PUMP menu for feed-only set.
Figure 8B. PRIME PUMP menu for feed & flush set.
Auto Priming The AUTO PRIME option will be available if the pump senses that the currently installed pump set was not previously primed, and that there is no fluid in the line near the rotor. If auto-priming is desired, press and release4AUTO PRIME to automatically prime the line(s). For feed & flush pump sets, the auto prime feature will automatically prime both lines, starting with the flush line. Press4STOP to cancel AUTO PRIME. When auto-priming is completed, the status line will show AUTO PRIME COMPLETE and will no longer show the AUTO PRIME option. Be sure that the line(s) are fully primed. If not, use the hold-to-prime option(s) to complete the priming, as described below.
Hold-to-Prime The hold-to-prime options allow for precise interactive control of the priming process.
Feed-Only Pump Sets For feed-only pump sets, the screen will appear as in Figure 8A. Press and hold4HOLD TO PRIME FEED until the feed line has been primed down to the stepped end connector at the end of the pump set. Kangaroo™ ePump™ Enteral Feed and Flush Pump with Pole Clamp
Table of Contents 11
Feed & Flush Pump Sets For feed & flush pump sets, the display will appear as in Figure 8B. First press and hold4HOLD TO PRIME FLUSH to prime the flushing line, and then press and hold4HOLD TO PRIME FEED to prime the feed line down to the stepped end connector at the end of the pump set. If a feed & flush pump set is used, remember to first press4HOLD TO PRIME FLUSH until the flushing fluid has reached the valve, and then press4HOLD TO PRIME FEED until the feeding fluid has reached past the valve and down to the stepped end connector. 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 • Press4CONTINUE to begin the pump RUNNING • Press4HOLD • Press4ADJUST SETTINGS • Press4PRIME PUMP • Press4HOLD TO PRIME to prime the line(s) 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.

Selecting EZMODE EZMODE may be selected through the Biotech Options button which may be accessed on the Biotech screen (see page 19). The EZMODE setting will be stored in the flash memory and saved when the unit is shut off. Note: If the user inserts a feed/flush set while the EZMODE is enabled, EZMODE will be cancelled and the unit will immediately revert back to the normal mode. If EZMODE is desired, the user must then re-enable EZMODE through the Biotech Options screen. When enabled and not in CERTIFICATION MODE, a small EZ icon will be visible on the bottom of the screen near the battery icon. However, it will not appear in the POWER DOWN, SYSTEM ERROR, or LOW BATTERY SCREENS.
EZ Mode icon Figure 9.
Selecting Continuous or Intermittent Feed Mode The Kangaroo™ ePump™ enteral feed and flush pump can be programmed to feed continuously or intermittently. The continuous feeding mode will deliver the enteral nutrition at a steady rate, either until the programmed volume has been delivered or until the supply has been exhausted.

Intermittent Mode - Adjust Bolus (Not Available in EZMODE) Intermittent Mode Feeding For INTERMITTENT feeding mode, the ADJUST BOLUS option is available in the opening menus (Figure 7C for a feed-only set or Figure 7D for a feed & flush set). Select this option to program the feeding parameters from the ADJUST BOLUS screen, Figure 13A. Press4BOLUS RATE in Figure 13A to define the rate of delivery. Press the4buttons in Figure 13B to program the delivery rate from 1 to 400 in increments of 1 mL/hr. Press4ENTER (top button) to exit the menu.

Press4NUMBER OF BOLUSES in Figure 13A to define the total number of boluses to be delivered. Press the4 buttons in Figure 13C to program the number of boluses, up to a maximum of 99. Press4ENTER (top button) to exit the menu. The number of boluses can be set as zero, in which case the pump will run until the supply is exhausted. Press4VOLUME PER BOLUS in Figure 13A to define the volume to be delivered in each bolus.

Press the4buttons in Figure 13D to program the volume per bolus from 1 to 3000 mL in increments of 1 mL. Press4ENTER (top button) to exit the menu. Press4BOLUS INTERVAL in Figure 13A to define the time interval between starts of bolus deliveries. Press the4buttons in Figure 13E to program the time interval between starts of bolus deliveries from 1 to 24 hours in increments of 1 hour. Press4ENTER (top button) to exit the menu.

The pump will automatically limit bolus settings which exceed pump delivery capabilities. For example, a bolus delivery volume of 200 mL cannot be made once per hour if a rate of 150 mL/ hr is already programmed. In this case, the maximum volume allowed would be 150 mL. Note: If the NUMBER OF BOLUSES is reprogrammed during a feeding (from HOLD mode), the pump will restart the bolus feeding and will deliver all the boluses as defined by the new setting.
Intermittent Mode Feeding – Bolus Max (Not Available in EZMODE) The BOLUS MAX option can be used to deliver a bolus at a high rate, similar to gravity feeding.

Intermittent Mode Flushing (Feed flush set only) For INTERMITTENT feeding mode with a feed & flush set, the opening menu, shown in Figure 7D, will show the ADJUST FLUSH option. Press4ADJUST 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. Press4FLUSH VOLUME in Figure 14A to define the volume per flush cycle. Press the4buttons in Figure 14B to program the flush volume from 10 to 500 in increments of 1 mL. Press4ENTER (top button) to exit the menu. Press4FLUSH INTERVAL in Figure 14A to define the time interval between starts of flushing. Press the4buttons in Figure 14C to program the time interval from 1 to 24 hours in increments of 1 hour. Press4ENTER to exit the menu. 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, press4RUN to start operation. Figure 15A shows the RUNNING screen for continuous 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 v icon.
