were not cleared, 2 options are given:
o KEEP SETTINGS - to start with the same settings that were most recently programmed into the
pump. Any of the previously-programmed settings can be modified, if needed. The feed volume
totals, “mL FED” (Continuous Feed Mode) or “BOLUSES FED” (Intermittent Feed Mode) and “mL
FLUSH” are also maintained
o CLEAR SETTINGS - to reset all settings and feed totals to zero. It will then be necessary to program
all settings before running the pump.
Note: The feed totals (“mL FED,” “BOLUSES FED,” “mL FLUSH”) can be cleared at any time, and without
clearing the pump settings, by doing the following:
 Start the pump RUNNING
 PressHOLD
 PressCLEAR VOLUME
 the pump will then show LOAD A SET or, if the Pump Set is already loaded, it will show SET
LOADED

o Use new ePump Feeding Set Only.
o No more Drip Chamber!
o Hang Height 18 inches: in order to achieve proper accuracy, the bottom of the feeding set
container must be 18 inches above the top of the feeding pump.
b. Screen shows CLEAR SETTINGS/KEEP SETTINGS (Choose an Option)
o Keep settings = same patient, same prescription
o Clear Setting = resets all settings and feed totals to zero
4. Adjust Feed
o FEED RATE (This is the icon to adjust the rate)
o Select Feed Rate and press ENTER (a value must be entered)
o FEED VTBD (Volume to be delivered)
o Select Volume to be delivered and press ENTER (This is optional only if you want to use this feature)
o After these have been entered press DONE to ensure the settings are saved
5. Prime Pump:
