The Patrol® Enteral Pump is a microprocessor (computer)-controlled rotary
peristaltic pump that provides for accurate, controlled enteral feeding in a safe,
user-friendly system. It has a large, easy-to-read display and simple controls. The
Patrol Pump uses a specially designed feeding set, which includes a bolus-prevention
feature to provide safe, accurate control of enteral feeding.
The Patrol Pump offers these features:
1. Alarms for free-flow
2. Flow-rate selection from 1 to 300 mL/hr in 1-mL/hr increments
3. Accuracy to ±10% or ±0.5 mL/hr, whichever is greater (refer to CHECKING
PUMP ACCURACY, page 12)
4. Dose setting
5. Volume-fed accumulation
6. 8-hour battery operation at 125 mL/hr, when fully charged
7. Alarms:
• FrEE FLO (free flow)
• no FLO (no flow)
• doSE FEd (dose fed)
• LO bAt (low battery)
• SEL rAtE (invalid rate, select rate)
• SEL run (inactivity, select run)
• E1-E9 (failed pump self-test)
8. Programmable HOLD timer

INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Patrol® Enteral Pump can be used for adult and pediatric patients, provided the
patients can tolerate a feeding range within the pump’s operational specifications.
Those specifications are:
• The flow rate range is 1 to 300 mL/hr in 1-mL/hr increments.
• The flow rate accuracy is ±10% or ±0.5 mL/hr, whichever is greater.
• Pumps against 18 psi (124 kPa) nominal back pressure before no FLO alarm.
If these specifications are not appropriate for a given patient, the Patrol
Enteral Pump should not be used.
PRECAUTIONS
• NOT FOR IV USE.
• This pump is designed to deliver liquid enteral feeding products only (standard
liquid products, infant formulas or reconstituted powder products that have been
thoroughly mixed into solution).
• IF THE NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT USED IS CALORICALLY DENSE, VISCOUS,
CONTAINS FIBER, OR ANYTHING IS ADDED TO THE PRODUCT, ACTUAL
PRODUCT DELIVERED MAY BE BELOW THE DELIVERY RATE SET ON THE
PUMP.
• Enteral pumps may have the potential to bolus-feed or overdeliver, which is an
important consideration in feeding volume-sensitive patients. In these patients, do
not hang more volume of nutritional product than can be tolerated as a bolus and
monitor the patient closely, or as directed by physician.
• Confirm proper placement and function of patient’s enteral feeding tube
(nasogastric, nasojejunal, gastrostomy, etc.). Failure to do so may result in
vomiting and/or aspiration. Verify the following before initiating feeding:
1. Only a Patrol® Pump Set is being used.
2. Pump set tubing is properly stretched counterclockwise under rotor and
90 degree connector is secured in the pump.
3. If the feeding set is damaged in any way (e.g. broken, cut, torn, parts
separated), replace the set immediately. A BROKEN Safe-T-Valve MAY RESULT IN A FREE FLOW EVENT.
4. Flow rate is set at the prescribed mL/hr (dial: SET RATE; refer to page 6).
To avoid enteral product bacterial contamination, pump set and container should be
replaced as prescribed on nutritional feeding set labeling. For single-patient use only.
Only Abbott Nutrition-authorized personnel are permitted to service this medical
device. Unauthorized personnel should not open the pump or repair/replace any
components, including batteries and labeling.

CONTROL DIAL SETTINGS
DIAL:FUNCTION:
OFF/
CHARGE
SET RATE
SET DOSE
Stops all pump functions. Battery charges in all dial
settings when pump is plugged in. The pump will
retain current RATE, DOSE and VOL FED values
indefinitely unless the pump is unplugged from an AC
power source while in the OFF/CHARGE setting.
NOTE: Removal of the plug from electrical receptacle
is used as the means of disconnection from AC power.
Allows flow rate to be set (1 to 300 mL/hr in
1-mL/hr increments) by pressing the keypad arrows
when the pump is in the SET RATE mode. The up
arrow increases the rate. The down arrow decreases
the rate.
NOTE: The LOC feature may be activated by
depressing both arrows simultaneously when the dial
is in the SET RATE position. Repeat procedure to
deactivate. The SET RATE, SET DOSE and CLEAR VOL values cannot be changed while the LOC feature
is activated.
Allows dose to be limited (1 to 9999 mL in 1-mL
increments) by pressing the keypad arrows when
the pump is in the SET DOSE mode. The up arrow
increases the dose. The down arrow decreases the
dose. Completion of this dose triggers the doSE FEd
alarm. Refer to doSE FEd (page 12).
NOTE: Pump will operate without a DOSE selected
(SET DOSE at 0000).
RUN
Only setting that activates feeding. Visual display shows
rate of flow in mL/hr and the dash on the left side of the
display scrolls from top to bottom when pump is in RUN
mode.
NOTE: With flow rates less than 185 mL/hr, it is
normal for rotor movement to be intermittent (e.g.
starts, stops, starts, stops, etc) while in the RUN mode.
This intermittent movement regulates the rate of flow,
conserves battery life and does not affect the accuracy of
the pump. The RUN mode should always be verified by
the top-to-bottom scrolling bars on the left side of the
display window.
Battery Operation Indication: Battery-powered operation
is indicated by periodic flashing of the displayed SET RATE while in the RUN mode. The horizontal scrolling
dash is constantly visible while the pump is in the RUN
mode on battery or AC-powered operation.

CONTROL DIAL SETTINGS (continued)
DIAL:FUNCTION:
HOLD
VOL FED
CLEAR
VOL
USING THE HOLD FUNCTION
HOLD stops pumping action. Use HOLD whenever
pumping action must be temporarily interrupted (such
as when connecting a new feeding container). If pump
is left on HOLD for more than 5 minutes, an alarm
will sound and the message SEL run (SELECT run)
will be displayed.
NOTE: The HOLD timer may be programmed for a
duration of 1–90 minutes (in 1-minute intervals) by
depressing the keypad arrows either up or down when
the dial is in the HOLD position.
USING THE HOLD FUNCTION TO SILENCE AN ALARM
HOLD also is used to silence an alarm. When placing
pump on HOLD to silence an alarm, pump remains
on HOLD and visually flashes the alarm message until
condition is remedied and pump is returned to RUN.
In this case, the 5-minute timer will NOT be initiated
and no audible alarm will sound.
Stops pumping action. The display will show the
volume delivered. Pump accumulates volume delivered
up to 9999 mL unless the volume is reset to zero by
turning to CLEAR VOL (or the pump is unplugged
while in the OFF/CHARGE mode). Upon exceeding
the maximum volume allowed on the display, the value
turns to zero and a new accumulation begins. This is
not accompanied by an alarm.
Stops pumping action and resets the VOL FED to zero.
NOTE: The pump will “beep” four times before clearing
the volume to alert users that the dial has been turned to
CLEAR VOL. The user must turn dial away from CLEAR
VOL (to any other setting) before the fourth beep to
avoid an unintentional loss of accumulated volume.

14. If desired, turn dial to SET DOSE and
select dose by pressing the arrows.
NOTE: Pump will operate without a
DOSE selected (SET DOSE at 0000).
15. Turn dial to RUN to start feeding.
16. To see feeding volume delivered, turn
dial to VOL FED.
17. To clear the volume delivered, turn
dial to CLEAR VOL. (This occurs
after four beeps.)
18. When feeding is complete, turn
pump dial to OFF.
NOTE: If alarm sounds, turn
pump dial to HOLD. Correct alarm
condition indicated by visual display,
then turn dial to RUN to restart
feeding. (For explanation of alarms,
see pages 13 and 14.)
PRECAUTION: To avoid enteral
product bacterial contamination,
pump set and container should
be replaced as prescribed on
nutritional feeding set labeling. For
single-patient use only. Do not store
for prolonged periods at extreme
temperature.
10
BATTERY OPERATION
When pump is unplugged, power is supplied by the internal, rechargeable battery.
1. If battery if fully discharged and AC power fails during feeding, pump will shut
down and no alarm will sound.
2. While running on battery power, the display cycles on for 10 seconds and then
off for 10 seconds to conserve power.
3. Pump can be used while the battery is recharging. Pump automatically charges
the battery when plugged into AC power.
Expected Life and
Charge Time:
1. When battery is fully charged, pump will operate for 8 hours at 125 mL/hr.
2. Battery will fully charge in 8 hours with the pump turned off and 12 hours
with the pump turned on.
3. The battery will charge in any control dial setting including the POWER OFF
position when connected to AC power.
4. When low battery alarm occurs, the pump will operate for approximately 30
minutes before shutting down.
5. Battery operating time will diminish with partially charged or older
batteries. Operating on AC power and keeping the pump plugged into an AC
outlet (even while OFF), will help maintain expected battery performance.
Battery Maintenance:
1. Before initial use on battery power and after extended storage periods, the
pump must be plugged into an AC power source for a minimum of 12 hours.
2. A battery that has repeatedly been fully discharged and/or left in a
discharged state for an extended period may not recharge properly.
3. If battery is rarely used, occasionally operating pump on battery power may
extend battery life. The pump should be operated on battery for a minimum
of 6 continuous hours at least once every 6 months for best performance
and battery life.
4. The pump should be plugged into AC power whenever possible. When not
being used on battery power, pump should ALWAYS remain plugged in to
AC power to maintain battery charge and performance.
Battery Disposal:
Appropriate disposal of batteries is required, and this can be done by an Abbottauthorized service center. In case of any questions on batteries, please contact the
responsible Abbott representative.
11
CHECKING PUMP ACCURACY
Fluid head height and viscosity are two variables that can affect flow rate. To check
flow rate, use the following procedure:
Select a new Patrol Pump Feeding Set for this test. Be sure to use a graduated
cylinder for volume measurement—not an enteral container or other uncalibrated
vessel. Using Osmolite® 1 Cal, fill the feeding container and set up pump according
to instructions. Suspend bag to side of or behind and 20 inches above pump (see
illustration). With the test pump connected to AC power, start the pump and let it
run for 15 minutes. Then run fluid into the graduated cylinder for 30 minutes and
compare to SET RATE on pump:
SET RATE
76 mL/hr= 34.2 mL to 41.8 mL
150 mL/hr= 67.5 mL to 82.5 mL
If amount in graduated cylinder is incorrect based on SET RATE, try a new pump set
and repeat procedure.

CLEANING
There are no routine calibration or adjustment procedures required with the
Patrol® Enteral Pump.
For trouble-free operation, check the pump daily and clean immediately after spills
occur.
While cleaning, pump should be turned off and unplugged. Do not
submerge, autoclave, heat, steam, ETO or radiation sterilize the pump.
THE PUMP CAN BE CLEANED AS FOLLOWS:
HOUSING
• Clean outside surface only (DO NOT SPRAY WATER OR CLEANING SOLUTION
INTO PUMP).
• For general cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid damaging the surface. Be
especially careful with the operator's panel. If necessary, mild warm, soapy water
may be used sparingly. Avoid the use of all strong solvents or cleaners, as these
will damage the pump.
• Disinfection is recommended for all external parts and surfaces. Clean the pump
before disinfecting it. Wipe on the disinfectant for at least one minute; then allow
pump to air dry.
• Intermediate level disinfection is achieved by using one of the following: 10%
concentration of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) or 70%
isopropyl alcohol (NOTE: DO NOT CLEAN DROP DETECTOR WITH ALCOHOL).
NOTE: These recommendations are not substitutes for official procedures that may
differ among institutions.
DROP DETECTOR
• Clean the drop sensor window with a soft brush, soft, lint-free cloth or cotton swab
and warm, soapy water. Then rinse the drop sensor window with a cotton swab
and warm water. Be sure no soapy film or residue is left on lenses. Dry thoroughly.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH ALCOHOL.
ROTOR ASSEMBLY
• Clean the rotor assembly with warm, soapy water using a soft brush; soft, lint-free
cloth; or cotton swab. Inspect rotor assembly to make sure that all rollers spin
freely after cleaning. If they do not spin freely, repeat cleaning or return the pump
to an authorized service center.
After cleaning, plug the pump into an AC grounded electrical outlet to maintain
battery charge.
