KANGAROO ePump™13
Enteral Feeding Pump
0-400mL/hr as defined by the user until manually stopped. It has no BOLUS, FLUSHING, RUN MODE SCREEN LOCK, or
AUTORESUME capability and displays no HISTORY information.
Turning on EZMODE will automatically force the unit out of the INTERMITTENT (BOLUS FEED) mode if set. Although the
Continuous Mode feedVTBD will be set to 0 while EZMODE is enabled, the previous value of the Feed VTBD will be stored in flash
memory and recalled when“EZMODE”is deselected. The user can change the Feed Rate by normal means. All other user settings,
including those not compatible with the EZMODE (BOLUS VTBD,NUMBER OF BOLUSES, SUPER BOLUS, etc), that were set
before the pump was put into the EZMODE will be ignored and invisible while in EZMODE but remain stored in the flash memory
for when EZMODE is deselected. EZMode essentially has no effect on CLEAR SETTINGS; pressing CLEAR SETTINGS while
EZMODE is enabled will clear all Feed and Flush settings and totalizers as normal, not just those that apply to EZMODE. Selecting
the CLEAR SETTINGS option on power up will not clear Biotech Options such as EZMODE or LOCK SETTINGS.
If the user selects the ADJUST FEED option from either the LOAD A SET or SET LOADED screens, control will pass directly to and
from the Enter Feed Rate screen and bypass the ADJUST FEED screen since without the ability to adjustVTBD in EZMode, the Adjust
Feed screen is redundant.
Selecting EZMODE
EZMODE may be selected through the Biotech Options button which may be accessed on the Biotech screen (see page 21). The
EZMODE setting will be stored in the flash memory and saved when the unit is shut off.
NOTE: If the user inserts a Feed/Flush set while the EZMODE is enabled, EZMODE will be cancelled and the unit will immediately
revert back to the normal mode. If EZMODE is desired, the user must then re-enable EZMODE through the Biotech Options
screen.
When enabled and not in CERTIFICATION MODE, a small EZ icon will be visible on the bottom of the screen near the battery icon.
However, it will not appear in the POWER DOWN, SYSTEM ERROR, or LOW BATTERY SCREENS.

Selecting Continuous or Intermittent Feed Mode
The KANGAROO ePump enteral feeding pump can be programmed to feed continuously or intermittently.
The continuous feeding mode will deliver the enteral nutrition at a steady rate, either until the programmed volume has
been delivered or until the supply has been exhausted. The Intermittent feeding mode delivers boluses of enteral nutrition at
programmed time intervals. The bolus volume and feed rate are also programmed.
To select continuous feed mode or intermittent feed mode, press4MORE on the opening menu, shown in Figures 5A-5B or Figures
7A-7D, to access the MORE OPTIONS menu, Figure 10A.
The MORE option is available either before a Pump Set has been loaded (Figures 5A-5B) or after the Pump Set is loaded (Figures 7A-
7D). See subsection“More Options”for information on the other options in the MORE OPTIONS menu.
