Section VII — Cleaning
Cleaning should be performed as needed. It may also be desirable to define cleaning intervals based on knowledge of the
environment in which the pump is used. Only personnel trained in the cleaning of medical devices should perform cleaning.
Caution: Do not immerse pump or A/C Power Adapter in water or other cleaning solution; clean using a damp cloth
or sponge. Failure to follow the cleaning procedures described herein could result in hazards to users. As with any
AC powered electrical device, care must be taken to prevent liquid from entering the pump to avoid electrical shock
hazard, fire hazard, or damage to electrical components.
If any of the following events occur, Do Not Use the pump until it has been properly cleaned and serviced by personnel trained in
servicing Kangaroo™ Joey enteral feed and flush pump with pole clamps:
•
wetting of the pump's A/C power adapter or leakage into the pump interior during cleaning.
General Cleaning Directions
Cleaning of Kangaroo™ Joey enteral feed and flush pump with pole clamps must be performed as follows:
Caution: Disconnect pump from AC power source before cleaning. After cleaning, do not connect to AC power source
until pump and A/C power adapter are thoroughly dry.
•
A mild detergent should be used for general cleaning. Allow excess moisture to evaporate from the cord prior to use of A/C
power adapter.
•
Do not use strong cleaners such as Spray Nine™*, pHisoHex™*, Hibiclens™*, or Vesta-Syde™*, or cleaners that may contain
Ethoxylated C9-C11 alcohols, 2-Butoxyethanol, Hexachlorophene, Chlorhedidine Gluconate, Subtilisins, Sodium Tetraborate
Decahydrate, Triethanolamine, or other similar ingredients because damage to the pump case housing can result.
General Disinfection Directions
The pump can be disinfected by wetting its surfaces with a 10:1 water and chlorine bleach mixture. To wet the devices, use at least
two bleach wetted lint-free wipes and wipe as necessary to maintain visual wetness. Visual wetness should be maintained for a
minimum duration of 10 minutes for the pump.
Repeated disinfection with this solution can damage the plastic housings.

Unless soiling is observed, the A/C power adapter should not be cleaned.
•
If cleaning of the A/C power adapter is necessary, unplug from outlet and wipe the exterior surfaces of the wall plug with
a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
Caution: Avoid exposing A/C power adapter to excess moisture, as this can lead to an electrical shock or fire hazard.
