To Next PageTo Next PageWhy won't my McKINLEY Water Pump start?
If your McKINLEY Water Pump won't start, there are several possible causes. First, check if a battery is present and properly aligned. If the battery is depleted or very low, replace it with a new one. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the pump may be faulty and require servicing.
What to do if McKINLEY Water Pump stops before emptying syringe?
If the McKINLEY Water Pump stops before emptying the syringe, it could be due to an exhausted battery. Try fitting a new battery, turning the pump on, confirming the syringe size and brand, and selecting 'resume' to continue the infusion. Alternatively, the infusion set may be blocked or trapped, requiring you to clear the occlusion.
How to fix infusion rate issues with McKINLEY Water Pump?
If the infusion rate of your McKINLEY Water Pump is incorrect, either too fast or too slow, first check the displayed rate against the prescription and change it if necessary. It could also be due to confirming the wrong syringe brand during setup; user retraining is required to prevent this. If neither of these resolves the issue, the pump might be faulty or incorrectly calibrated, requiring service or calibration.
