Flush Error (Medium Priority Alarm)
The FLUSH ERROR screen appears when the flushing solution is no longer being delivered
because the flush bag is empty or because of a clog between the pump and flush 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 flush line to find the occlusion causing
the blockage. If the occlusion cannot be cleared, load a new pump set, prime it, and press
CONTINUE to restart the feeding, Figure 28.
If the error still cannot be resolved, press
of this alarm condition may take up to 1 minute to occur.
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.

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

Flow Error (Medium Priority Alarm)
The FLOW ERROR screen appears when the feeding solution is no longer being delivered because
of a clog between the pump and the patient. The pump determines the presence of a clog by
checking to see if fluid can be pumped away from the sensor below the feeding set valve while the
valve is closed. Check the line to find the occlusion causing the blockage. If the error cannot be
resolved, check the valve pocket in the pump set loading area for dampness or dirt, which may be
a cause for a false error. Clean and dry the valve pocket. If the error still cannot be resolved, load a
new pump set, prime it, and press
If the error still cannot be resolved, press
CONTINUE to restart the feeding, Figure 29.
