of enteral nutrition solutions at selectable rates. The pump is intended for enteral use only for both portable and bedside use.
• Check the integrity of the pump. Do not use the pump if it is damaged. If a technical failure occurs or if the pump is dropped,
. the pump should be checked by a qualified technician.
• Do not use the pump in areas where there is a risk of explosions e.g. in the presence of flammable anaesthetics.
• If the pump has been stored for any period of time, it should be plugged into the mains to recharge the battery before com-
mencing enteral feeding. The battery will be completely charged after approximately 6 hours. The battery capacity is an
approximation. If you are unsure that enough capacity remains for your intended use, recharge it.

, proper fluid delivery ! (consult your local Nutricia sales representative for information on available pump sets).
• This pump operates in any orientation, making it ideal for ambulatory as well as bedside use.
• Check the position of the feeding tube, as advised by your healthcare professional, before commencing tube feeding.
• Pump fed patients should be regularly monitored and supervised. Specific patient groups require con-
sistent and controlled administration of enteral nutrition as well as simultaneous application of medica-
tion (e.g. insulin administration). In these cases, regular and frequent checks, as determined by the attending
healthcare professional, should be carried out to ensure correct administration of nutrition throughout the the-
rapy period. Using the Infinity
• For bedside use, the multi-position pole clamp (figure 3) can be attached to the pump with the screw provided. The pump
can be fixed in any position (rotatable in 360°).
• Where possible, we recommend using ready to feed tube nutrition as this is developed for the intended delivery specificati-
ons of the pump.
• If using any mixed or reconstituted powdered nutrition, we advise users to ensure the nutrition is prepared and dissolved
a properly to avoid particles or accumulation in the feeding set potentially hampering pump performance and a normal feeding
. regimen. Any nutrition added into the enteral feeding line must be of a homogeneous nature and should remain homogene-
ous during the feeding regimen.
• Also, users must ensure that any substrate used for any mixed or reconstituted powdered nutrition is indicated as suitable
for enteral tube feeding delivery (refer to instructions for use on nutrition / substrate added).
a • Mixed or reconstituted nutrition may have foam. If using this type of solution, allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before
pouring it into a feeding reservoir. This will reduce the chance of an alarm due to air in the tubing.
