operating condition for the rotor. Generally results from a problem with the Pump Set tubing around the
rotor. Check that the Pump Set is not damaged, and re-load the tubing. Press CONTINUE.
oFLOW ERROR: Downstream occlusion: occlusion in pump-patient line below pump
oFEED OR FLUSH ERROR: Upstream occlusion: Empty Bag or occlusion in bag-pump line above pump
oPUMP SET DISLODGED: Pump Set not properly loaded in pump
oBATTERY LOW: Indicates that the battery must be recharged immediately.
oSYSTEM ERROR: General Error caused by many factors: return pump to Biomedical Engineering
oFEEDING COMPLETE information screen appears after completion of the programmed feeding. Turn
pump off.
oThe Pump Set usage warning indicator (SET USE >24 HRS) will blink on the RUNNING screen if a Pump
Set has been used for 24 or more hours. It is recommended to replace Pump Sets after this length of
usage. This icon is only an informational message and does not require immediate action.
