Quick Guide of Equipment List for (Patient's Name) Home Caregivers

LTV 1150 In-Home Ventilator: This device breathes for the patient through
invasive mechanical ventilation. As an in-home caregiver, your job is to manage
the alarms, clean the filters daily, and keep all connections secure at all times.
The respiratory therapist adjusts the settings with a doctor's order. If you are
concerned that the settings are insufficient, you will need to call the prescribing
doctor to request an evaluation. There are instructions in the training materials
that will assist you in caring for this machine. If you have an unusual ERROR or
alarm code, you must contact the Intermountain Homecare Durable Medical
Equipment office at (801)***-****. You will ask to speak to the Respiratory
Therapist on call.

LTV 1150 Portable Ventilator: This ventilator is the same model as the in-home
vent. It will serve as a backup if the primary ventilator fails at any time. You will
care for this machine the same as the in-home ventilator. This machine is always
attached to a Sprint Pack, which you will ensure is always plugged in when the
patient is at home.

Devilbiss Suction Machine: This machine clears secretions from the patient's
nose and lungs. The suction machine must be by the patient's side at all times.
This machine attaches to the patient's wheelchair and is at her bedside.
Wherever the patient is, this machine needs to be. You will clean the suction
canister every day. You will adjust the knob on the side of the device to reflect
the pressure prescribed. If the suction machine is not achieving proper vacuum,
refer to the user manual for troubleshooting. You must act quickly. If you cannot
solve the problem promptly, you must contact the Intermountain Homecare
Durable Medical Equipment office at (801)***-****. You will ask to speak to the
Respiratory Therapist on call.

Enteral Lite Food Pump: This machine delivers food to the patient and runs on
a 24/7 cycle. The patient's nutritionist prescribes the settings. The machine uses
a bag to hold the food and automatically dispenses the food in short intervals.
You will fill the food bag five times in 24 hours. The food bag is disposable and
thrown out at precisely 7 am every morning. You will replace the food bag with a
new one. Instructions on how to do so will be in the training materials. The food
pump will be plugged in at the bedside during evening hours and will run on
battery during the day. You must plug this device in every night, or it will not hold
sufficient charge for the next day. If there are ERROR alarms, you will refer to the
user manual. If you cannot solve the problem through those avenues, you will
call the Intermountain Homecare Pharmacy Technicians at (801)***-****.

How to Set Up (Patient’s Name) Food Pump and Food Bag

Step 1:

Hold the bag upright and pour in one


carton of formula. (Figure 1) Close the
cap securely.

Step 2:

Remove the protective cover from


the transitional stepped connector.

Step 3:

Loop the silicone tubing around the


pump wheel stretching lightly. Place the
cassette into the pump. Close the
pump door.

Step 4:

Secure the neck of the bag with the


top velcro strap of the backpack. Secure
the pump to the backpack with the
bottom velcro strap. Securing the
excess tubing with the tubing straps will
keep the tubing from becoming tangled
and caught on anything.

Step 5:
5

Press and hold the ON/OFF key for 1.5


seconds to turn the pump on. While the
pump runs through a self test, the
display will light and an audible alarm
will sound. Once it has run through the
self test you will prime the line.

Step 6:

Press and hold the PRIME key. The


alarm will sound once and the pump will
begin pumping. The display will read
“TO STOP LET GO”. The line must
have all air primed out before it is
attached to (Patient’s Name). When all
of the air is removed, you will release
the PRIME key. The pump will stop, the
display will revert to the last
programmed rate, and the pump will be
in pause mode.

Step 7:

Attach the line to (Patient’s Name) g-


tube extension.
You are now ready to press the
RUN/PAUSE key to begin feeding.

Please note, this Training Material is specific to (Patient Name) only. If you have general questions pertaining to the pump, refer
to the online resource, Enteralite Infinity Pump Manual.

FAQ (5/7)

Enteralite Infinity Food Pump FAQ for (Patient Name)

I turned the food pump on, and it started beeping without pause. What do I do?
You must allow the display to cycle through all settings before pushing any buttons on the keypad. If you do not allow the display to
cycle through all settings, it will beep a long and loud tone until you turn the pump off. Once you turn the pump off, you will be able
to start over and allow the display to cycle through all settings before pushing any buttons.

The machine will not prime even though I am pushing the prime button. How can I fix this?

There are two common problems when the food pump will not prime. You must remove the cap from the bag line to prime it;
otherwise, too much pressure prevents it from flowing. The second possibility is a kink or an occlusion in the food line. Lift the door
and remove the bag from the cassette. Inspect the line from bag to tip and ensure it is straight and unraveled. Replace the bag into
the pump and close the cover. Turn the machine off to reset the alarms before trying again.
7

The food pump is alarming with a DOSE DONE error, but it is set to a 24/7 cycle and is never
"done." What should I do?

The machine is programmed to deliver an infinite dose. The pump can only track a DOSE of 10,000. When you have a DOSE
DONE alarm, you need to go in and clear the DOSE. Reset that every time it has accumulated 10,000 ml's.

Please note, this FAQ is specific to (Patient Name) only. These are frequently asked questions in this patient’s home only, This
FAQ is designed to be a personalized quick guide. If you have general questions pertaining to the pump, refer to the online
resource, Enteralite Infinity Pump Manual.
