22. For service or for technical information, please contact
Customer Service (Section 11).
23. Do not open the pump, WCH or WiFi module, as there
are no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening may affect
function of device and voids the warranty.
24. Cleaning frequency and practices must be consistent
with institutional policy for cleaning of non-sterile
devices. See Section 8 - Cleaning, for instructions on
cleaning the pump.
25. See icon descriptions in Section 3 - User Interface and
Section 4 - Symbols for additional safety information.
26. This device is designed and tested to minimize the
effects of uncontrolled electromagnetic interference
and other types of interference from external sources.
Avoid use of other equipment that may cause erratic
operation or degradation in the performance of this
device. Electromagnetic interference could make the
display unreadable or prevent the pump from being
able to feed.
27. Do not use feeding solutions or formula other than that
prescribed by a qualified physician, nurse, registered
dietician, or other licensed practitioner.
28. For optimal accuracy, the top of the starting volume of
formula should be 10 inches above the top of the pump.
Do not reuse feeding sets.
29. Should feeding sets require rinsing, it is recommended
that the feeding sets be rinsed while they are loaded in
the pump.
30. The feeding set should be replaced after 24 hours from
initiation of feeding. This ensures that the system is
operating within specified parameters and prevents
bacterial growth that could be a hazard to the patient.
31. Do not clean the pump, WCH, WiFi module, or the
accessories while these items are plugged into an
electrical outlet. Clean only as recommended in
this manual. Failure to clean in accordance with
this manual could result in damage or failure of the
pumping system.
32. Do not use the pump for delivery of any fluids or
substances that are not enteral solutions prescribed by
qualified medical personnel.
33. Used feeding sets should be disposed of in accordance
with current hospital procedure or local disposal
guidelines. For disposal of the pump, WCH, WiFi module,
be sure to contact local authorities to determine the
proper method of disposal of these items, keeping in
mind that the pump contains a rechargeable Lithium-
Ion battery.
34. The pump and WCH is designed to be used outdoors
for short periods of time (no more than 24 hours).
Leaving these devices outdoors for extended periods of
time (exceeding 24 hours) can result in damage and/or
fading of the pump and WCH.
35. This device is designed for use on a conventional IV pole. As with any
medical device, it is possible for the weight of the pump and/or WCH
to cause the IV pole to tip over. This could result in injury to a patient
or operator. When attaching the pump and/or WCH to the IV pole, take
precautions to ensure the IV pole remains stable while in use.
36. This enteral feeding system was designed to meet IEC 60601-1 safety
standards. For clarification purposes, the feeding set is considered an
Applied Part and has been tested and evaluated accordingly.
37. The rear label is intended to provide tamper protection and liquid ingress
protection. Do not use the pump if the rear label contains puncture marks
or looks like it has been removed and replaced. Pump functionality cannot
be guaranteed.
38. The Kangaroo Connect WCH and WiFi/Ethernet Module are not intended to
be ambulatory.
