Introduction; Preparation; Service And Warranty - Nutricia Flocare Infinity Instrucciones De Uso

• The Flocare ® Infinity
based on the rotary peristaltic principle and is intended for enteral use only.
• Check the integrity of the pump. Do not use the pump if it is damaged. If a technical failure occurs or if
the pump is dropped, the pump should be checked by a qualified technician.
• Do not use the pump in areas where there is a risk of explosions e.g. in the presence of flammable anaesthetics.
• If the pump has been stored for any period of time, it should be plugged into the mains to recharge the bat-
tery before commencing enteral feeding. The battery will be completely charged after approximately 6 hours.
• The Flocare ® Infinity
pump set! (consult your local Nutricia sales representative for information on available pump sets).
• This pump operates in any orientation, making it ideal for ambulatory as well as bedside use.
• Check the position of the feeding tube, as advised by your healthcare professional, before commencing tube feeding.
• Pump fed patients should be regularly monitored and supervised. Specific patient groups require consistent
and controlled administration of enteral nutrition as well as simultaneous application of medication (e.g. insu-
lin administration). In these cases, regular and frequent checks, as determined by the attending healthcare
professional, should be carried out to ensure correct administration of nutrition throughout the therapy period.
Using the Infinity ™ pump's DOSE function is recommended in these cases (see section "To set a Dose").
• For bedside use, the multi-position pole clamp (figure 3) can be attached to the pump with the screw
provided. The pump can be fixed in any position (rotatable in 360°).
• Where possible, we recommend using ready to feed tube nutrition as this is developed for the intended
delivery specifications of the pump.
• If using any mixed or reconstituted powdered nutrition, we advise users to ensure the nutrition is prepared
and dissolved properly to avoid particles or accumulation in the feeding set potentially hampering pump
performance and a normal feeding regimen. Any nutrition added into the enteral feeding line must be of
a homogeneous nature and should remain homogeneous during the feeding regimen.
• Also, users must ensure that any substrate used for any mixed or reconstituted powdered nutrition is
indicated as suitable for enteral tube feeding delivery (refer to instructions for use on nutrition / substrate
added).
• Mixed or reconstituted nutrition may have foam. If using this type of solution, allow it to sit for 10 to 15
minutes before pouring it into a feeding reservoir. This will reduce the chance of an alarm due to air in the
tubing.
The manufacturer recommends an inspection of the pump at an authorised service centre
every 2 years as indicated on the pump (indicator 9). Only authorised personnel should per-
form service work on Infinity
Subsidiary for all service and repair of pumps (see address at the back of the booklet).
