    How to fix Flow Error Alarm (FLo Err) on Covidien Medical Equipment?
    • A
      aaron19Aug 18, 2025
      If the Covidien Medical Equipment displays a 'Flow Error Alarm (FLo Err)', it could be due to several reasons: * The feeding container might be empty, in which case you should refill it. * The feeding tube or feeding set tubing could be occluded; locate and correct the occlusion. * The drip chamber might not be properly placed in the pump; ensure it's correctly locked in the drip chamber guide. * The drip chamber walls may be coated with feeding formula; try manipulating the chamber to remove the formula, or replace the set. * The sensors in the upper drip chamber guide might be blocked or dirty; clean them with a cotton swab dampened with warm soapy water. * The drip chamber might be too full; ensure the formula isn't preventing the sensors from operating correctly.

    Why is there No Audible Alarm on my Covidien Medical Equipment?
    • K
      Katie CarrilloAug 30, 2025
      If your Covidien Medical Equipment has no audible alarm, it could be due to a fully discharged battery. In this case, charge the battery for at least 12 hours. If charging the battery doesn't solve the issue, the problem may be alarm circuitry failure and the pump should be returned for technical service.
