Section IX — Error/Warning/Informational Screens and Troubleshooting
For operational errors, the Kangaroo™ ePump™ enteral feed and flush pump display will show the error indicator icon, with specific
information regarding the error condition, and will sound the alarm.
The following conditions will trigger error conditions and will activate audible and visible alarms:
• Feed or flush containers are empty
• Feed or flush tube becomes occluded between bag and pump
• Tube becomes occluded between pump and patient
• Battery low (alarm beeps continuously, about 30 minutes before shut-off)
• Unit is left in HOLD mode longer than 10 minutes without input
• Pump set tubing is improperly loaded around the rotor
• System errors, see below
• Feeding complete
• The MISTIC connector is removed during AUTOPRIMING or RUNNING
Priority Handling of Alarms
The Kangaroo™ ePump™ has alarms that are broken into two different priorities: High Priority and Medium Priority. In all cases, High
Priority alarms are the most important and override any other alarm conditions. System Error overrides other High Priority alarms.
Other alarms are Medium Priority. These alarms all have the same priority except Low Battery alarm, which has higher priority than
other Medium Priority alarms.
Below is the listing of alarm priorities for the pump:
High Priority
0: System Error Alarm
1: All Other High Priority Alarms
Medium Priority
2: Low Battery Alarm
3: All Other Medium Priority Alarms
LED Indicator Lights
The pump status LED Indicator lights on the upper right of the pump provides a quick visual indication of the pump status, especially
in darkened rooms.
A solid green light indicates the pump is ready for operation or feeding.
A solid yellow light indicates the pump is on hold or a medium priority alarm.
A solid or blinking red light indicates a high priority alarm.
