Enteral Feeding Pump Operator’s Manual
vi
patient and pump delivery should be monitored with special attention
given to those patients who may not be able to inform the clinician or
care provider of discomfort or other concerns related to the feeding.
• If a continuous feed is desired with the innite dose setting, the
delivery should be monitored and proper amounts of additional food
should be added prior to food depletion in the bag or bottle.
• If the innite dose setting is used with a planned discontinuation
after food is delivered from the bag or bottle, allow all food to
move through the pump. The pump will alarm when the feeding
cycle is complete. Monitor the pump and feed ow to ensure
the appropriate dose has been received by the patient.
• Use ONLY commercially available pre-packed or commercially
prepared feeding solutions formulated for use with a feeding pump
that are prescribed by a licensed health care provider or dietitian.
• DO NOT USE HOMEMADE BLENDERIZED OR LIQUIDIZED FOODS, OR OTHER
NON-PRESCRIBED, NON-COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE FEEDING SOLUTIONS.
Use of homemade blenderized or other non-prescribed feeding solutions
may cause sticky solids which could cause an obstruction of the optical
sensor. It is recommended that all users clean and maintain the pump
and optical sensors according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
• The use of commercially available blenderized formula (HCPCS Code:
B4149) can impact pump accuracy and performance. It is recommended
to follow the formula manufacture guidelines for pump use.
• The Innite Dose or Interval Feeding programming option listed in the
operator’s manual should NOT be used for adults or children who are
seriously health compromised, or who are extremely sensitive to receiving
air in the stomach with an enteral feeding. It is recommended that a single
feeding regimen for specic dose be used for this particular user group.
