Innity Disposable Set Displacement
When fully primed, the Innity Disposable Set tubing
contains approximately 15 mL of uid. As the Innity
delivers uid and empties the bag, approximately
3.5 mL of air is drawn into the tubing before the
pump detects that the bag is empty. Therefore,
approximately 11.5 ml of uid remains in the
disposable set when pump stops feeding. Be
sure to account for this 11.5 ml of residual
uid when lling the disposable bag sets,
especially for volume-sensitive users.
If you want to deliver 500 ml of uid, this is how you would
calculate how much uid to place into the bag set.

Continue setting up the disposable bag set and pump according to CHAPTER
2: DIRECTIONS FOR USE, making sure to set the dose to 500 ml.
Electromagnetic Emissions/Interference
Electromagnetic emissions may aect the operation of any electronic
medical device, including enteral feeding pumps.
The Innity will not be aected by electromagnetic emissions in most
environments. However, some electromagnetic elds produced by personal
communication equipment, household appliances, or occupational tools may
cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) which can aect the pump.
Possible sources of electromagnetic interference with electronic medical devices include,
but are not limited to: cellular phones, cordless telephones, microwave ovens, anti-theft/
security systems, blenders, and high-powered tools (i.e. drills, saws, chain saws). If
electromagnetic emitting devices are operated within one yard/meter of the Innity,
the pump may automatically shut o and settings may return to their default values.
Check the pump regularly if operating near sources of electromagnetic emissions.
The Innity can safely be operated on commercial aircraft and is designed
in accordance with EN 60601-1-2, EN 60601-1-4 and RTCA DO160D
standards for electromagnetic emissions and immunity.
