Continuous Feed mode with a

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, press
to get one of the PRIME PUMP menus shown in Figures 8A-8B.

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 release
the line(s). For feed & flush pump sets, the auto prime feature will automatically prime both lines, starting with the flush line.
Press STOP 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 hold
primed down to the stepped end connector at the end of the pump set.
