Guest guest Posted December 19, 1999 Report Share Posted December 19, 1999 Does anyone else use Elecare via a Zevex enteralite pump? we've been having a heck of time with it. Seems the pump doesnt like the formula after its mixed. we have to let it sit and settle for a good 12-15 HOURS before we can rely on the entire feed being given. This makes us cut kind of close on how long the mixed formula is good for before we can use it. it is a bit of an extra hassle we dont need. Anyone? Steph.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 1999 Report Share Posted December 19, 1999 Steph, uses the Zevex, but he is on Pediatric Vivonex. I've never heard of having to let the formula sit for that long. I'd call Zevex or Elecare & see what they come up with.

Anyone? >> I also find this problem - constantly getting no food alrams. This usually happens right after I make a new batch of formula. Sometimes it may not ber mixed well enough/ One of the things that I findf that helps - I put a little water into the bag first and then the formula. This seems to help.
