• Switch on the pump.
• Immediately after the self-test the pump displays total volume delivered.
• Press the “clr” key. The total volume delivered returns to “0 ml”.
• The pump is in the “hold” mode ready for programming.
• When another feeding program needs to be started, or the pump will be used for
another patient, all settings (rate and dose) can be returned to default and the volume delivered can be
set at zero by simply pressing the “clr” key and keeping it pressed for 5 seconds.
BATTERY OPERATION
• The Flocare
®
Infinity
™
+ pump is equipped with a Lithium-ion battery.
• The battery symbol in the display is automatically replaced by the plug symbol when the adapter is
plugged in. The “fuel gauge” then indicates that the battery is charging by displaying the segments in
an ascending low to high pattern starting with the leftmost segment.
This pattern continuously repeats while the pump is charging.
• To check the status of the battery, disconnect the charger from the pump and turn the
pump on. The bars between E and F (E=Empty, F=Full) represent the “fuel gauge” of the
battery. Each bar is approximately 1/4 of a full battery charge. If 2 bars appear the
battery is half full and remaining operating time is approximately 12 hours at a flow rate
of 125 ml/h.
• In case of power failure the pump automatically switches to battery powered operation.
• When during functioning the last block is gone, the battery symbol will blink to indicate that there is approxima-
tely 1 hour of charge left. The display will flash “BATT” every 3 seconds, alternating with the active display and
the pump will beep every 2 seconds to remind the user of the low battery charge condition. Plug in the charger
to continue to run and recharge the battery.
• As the battery level decreases the pump may not be able to deliver tube feeds at rates greater than 300 ml/h,
even though some battery capacity remains. The pump will alarm and indicate
“BATT”. If this happens, either
recharge the battery or select a lower rate to complete the feed cycle.
• In case of battery failure, caused by, for example, an excessive temperature condition (which may resolve
itself with time) or by a complete battery failure, the E, F and battery symbol will flash. Turn the pump “off”
and contact your healthcare provider or refer the pump to service.
CONNECTION TO AN EXTERNAL ALARM SYSTEM
The power connector at the side of the pump offers the option of connecting the pump to an external alarm
system or Patient Data Monitoring System (PDMS).
• The Flocare
