Intended Use; Safety Information - Nutricia Flocare Infinity Instrucciones De Uso

• 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 Flocare Infinity is intended to be used to administer enteral nutrition or hydration fluids in a safe, controlled and
intuitive manner into the gastrointestinal tract of a patient. The Flocare Infinity can be used for adult and paediatric
patients.
The pump will operate in a Home and Professional healthcare environment and can be used by trained care givers
and patients for bedside as well as for mobile use.
DO NOT USE:
• If enteral feeding is contraindicated
• For the intravenous administration (Parenteral nutrition).
General safety
• Read the entire instructions for use before using the Flocare Infinity enteral feeding pump.
• The user should be trained in the operation of the Flocare Infinity and its accessories.
• The Flocare Infinity enteral feeding pump shall only be used in combination with the Flocare Infinity giving sets. The
use of non-Flocare Infinity giving sets will generate unforeseen hazards and will not provide the required functionality
and safety. Other giving sets will not deliver the correct dose, may allow dangerous free-flow conditions, and may
generate hazardous fluid pressures which may activate occlusion alarms at unpredictable pressures. Consult your
local Nutricia sales representative for information on available Flocare Infinity giving sets.
• Replace the Flocare Infinity giving set every 24 hours to maintain delivery accuracy, functionality, allow proper
system performance and prevent potential retrograde growth of bacteria. Do not program volume and rate
combinations which exceed a 24-hour feed regimen. Dispose of Flocare Infinity giving sets properly, as required
by local law and waste management policies.
• Enteral 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.
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 nutrition throughout the therapy period.
• Strangulation hazard: avoid leaving the power plug cord and Flocare Infinity giving set tubing where infants or young
children can become caught around the neck.
• Choking hazard: caution should be taken as the Flocare Infinity giving sets contains loose parts which may be
dangerous for young children.
• Using the Flocare Infinity pump's DOSE function is recommended to program as good practice.
• The healthcare giver should verify that the patient can tolerate the programmed volume and flow rate.
• Notice: any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device should be reported to Nutricia and the local
competent authority.
