Received a complaint call stating that the pump did not alarm when the tubing became kinked or clogged overnight.The pump just continued running (attempting to pump).The pt did not receive her overnight tube feeding, and her blood sugar was "critically low", according to her mother.The mother provided additional treatment to the child herself, in the form of apple juice and increased blood sugar monitoring, and the child recovered by mid-day.No other medical intervention was needed or performed.The family's nurse "duplicate" the situation, running the pump while holding the tube kinked.The pump did not stop or alarm.
