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

the air between the flush solution bag and valve into the main line, which already has been primed with enteral formula.
