The Kangaroo Connect enteral feeding pump is a portable rotary peristaltic enteral feeding pump, intended to provide enteral nutrition to
a patient. It can be programmed to provide patients with continuous, dose, or bolus feeding when used with Kangaroo Connect feeding
sets. The feeding pump and its standard accessories (the AC power adapter, feeding set and pole clamp) are considered medical electrical
equipment. The pump may also be used with additional optional accessories like the Kangaroo Connect car charger and either a Kangaroo
Connect wireless communication hub (WCH) or a Kangaroo Connect WiFi/Ethernet communications module (WiFi module). The pump used in
conjunction with one or more of these optional accessories comprises the medical electrical equipment system. All components in the system
are suitable for use within the patient environment.
The Kangaroo Connect enteral feeding pump is intended for hospital and acute care settings, as well as for long term and home care use. It is
intended to be used in both stationary and ambulatory conditions.
The Kangaroo Connect pump can be used for both adult and pediatric patients, age infant and above, provided the patient can tolerate the
flow rates and accuracy level of the pump. Not for use with neonates.
Use only commercially available pre-packed or commercially prepared feeding solutions prescribed by a licensed health care provider,
dietician or nutritionist. Do not use homemade blenderized or liquidized foods or other non-prescribed, noncommercially available
feeding solutions.
