• The Flocare
Infinity
+ is a small, lightweight, rotary peristaltic enteral feeding pump designed to deliver programmed doses of enteral nutrition
®
™
solutions at selectable rates.
The pump is intended for enteral use only for both portable and bedside use.
• 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 battery before commencing enteral fee-
ding. The battery will be completely charged after approximately 6 hours. The battery capacity is an approximation. If you are unsure that enough
capacity remains for your intended use, recharge it.
• The Flocare
Infinity
+ pump should only be used in combination with the appropriate Flocare

™
(consult your local Nutricia sales representative for information on availbale pump sets). Others will not deliver the correct dose, may allow dange-
rous free-flow conditions, and may generate hazardous fluid pressures which may activate occlusion alarms at unpredictable pressures.
• 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 admini-
stration of enteral nutrition as well as simultaneous application of medication (e.g. insulin administration). In these cases, regular and
frequent checks, as determined by the attending healthcare professional, should be carried out to ensure correct administration of nutri-
tion throughout the therapy period. Using the Infinity
• 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.
Service Life - Under normal conditions of use, including proper cleaning and inspection, if servicing recommendations and protocols are adhered to,
the pump has an expected lifespan of minimum 5 years. The expected service life of the battery is 2 to 5 years, depending on usage and number of
charging cycles.
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 perform service work on Infinity
service and repair of pumps (see address at the back of the booklet).
