Certifying the Accuracy of Pump Flow Rate
Use the following procedure to check the flow rate
accuracy:
• Perform test at room temperature

with a new Pump Set.
• Fully fill a new Feed-Only Pump set bag with water.
• Load the Pump Set.
• Suspend the Pump Set bag so that the bottom of the bag is 18 inche
s abo
ve the pump.
• Make sure pump is plugged into A/C power (do not run test with battery power).
• Program a Continuous Mode fee
d r
ate (see below for suggested example rates).
• Run the pump for 15 minutes to achieve steady state operation.
• Then begin collecting the water in a calibrated measuring container, such as a large-capacity graduated cylinder, for
exactly 30 minutes.
NOTE:
The amount of water collected in 30 minutes will be half of the value programmed for the hourly flow rate,
within
± 10%, or 0.5 ml, whichever is larger.
Rate Set Amount Expected in 30 Minutes

If the amount collected is outside the
range, load a new Pump Set and re-run the test procedure to confirm results.
Section VII — Cleaning
Cleaning should be performed as needed. It may also be desireable 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 power cord in water or other cleaning solution; clean using a
damp (not wet) 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 ePump

pumps:
• wetting of the pump’s power cord or leakage into the pump interior during cleaning.
• spillage of large amounts of formula onto the pump exterior, or any spillage onto the power cord.
