Flocare Infinity III Feeding Pump

Description

The Nutricia Flocare Infinity II is a portable rotary peristaltic enteral feeding pump designed for controlled delivery of prescribed enteral tube feeds or water when used with Flocare Infinity Pack giving sets.

Intended use

• For continuous or dose‑based enteral feeding via Flocare Infinity Pack giving sets.

• Operates in any orientation. When used with Nutricia Pack feeds and Flocare Infinity sets (non‑air‑dependent system), a drip stand is typically not required; other reservoir types may need a stand and venting.

Performance and accuracy

• Flow rate range: 1–400 mL/h, adjustable in 1 mL increments.

• Delivery accuracy: ±5% when used with Flocare Infinity giving sets.

Controls and interface

• Keys: ON/OFF, CLR, DOSE/VOLUME (DOSE=VOL), START/STOP, FILL SET, and +/-.

• Press‑and‑hold (~2 s) required for ON/OFF and FILL SET until a beep confirms activation.

• LCD displays volume screen after power‑up, rate screen, CONT indicator for continuous mode, rotating RUN symbol during operation, and a mains power icon when on AC.

• Audible cues: single beeps on power‑on and during fill‑set priming; triple beep on START.

Feeding modes and programming

• Modes: Continuous (CONT) and dose feeding with programmable dose volume.

• Rate set with +/-; DOSE/VOLUME selects and programs dose.

• CLR clears parameters; press‑and‑hold (~2 s) resets to defaults (0 mL/h, continuous mode).

• Program lock (setup/professional menu) helps prevent tampering; additional options include alarm sound and LCD light settings for HCPs.

Priming (Fill Set)

• Manual priming via FILL SET: press and hold (~2 s) to start; press again to stop.

• Typical prime volume per cycle ~14 mL (fills the shortest Mobile Pack set; longer sets may show a small residual air gap).

• Do not connect to the feeding tube during priming and avoid overfilling.

Compatibility and safety

• Use only Flocare Infinity feeding sets; patented pump insert supports accuracy and alarm function.

• Sets include anti‑free‑flow protection; gravity feeding is not possible with Infinity sets.

Alarms and notifications (examples)

• AIR (air‑in‑line), DOOR, NO SET, OCC IN/OCC OUT (occlusions), END OF DOSE, PROG (rate not programmed), PUSH STRT (hold‑mode timeout), BATT (low battery), BATT E+F (battery failure), ER01–ER99 (electronic errors).

Memory and data

• Dual memory stores last programmed settings and volume delivered since last cleared.

• Alarm information can be retrieved via a special data cable.

Power and battery

• Battery life: up to 24 hours at 125 mL/h.

• Full recharge: ~6 hours; usable while charging.

• Low‑battery warning shown on display (BATT).

Water protection, cleaning, and care

• IPX5 water‑resistant; washable under running water. Not submersible. AC adapter is not waterproof.

• Before cleaning: switch off and disconnect from mains.

• Routine cleaning: wipe exterior with mild detergent, rinse under warm running water, use a moist cotton bud around sensors, dry thoroughly.

• Do not sterilize by irradiation, EtO, steam, or autoclave; avoid aggressive solvents (e.g., acetone, benzene, iodine). Follow local infection‑control policies and the device IFU.

Setup/use highlights

• Attach a Flocare Infinity Pack giving set to the prescribed feed or water.

• Open pump door, insert the set, close until it clicks.

• Power on, confirm volume screen, program rate and dose/volume, prime, connect to the feeding tube, then press START/STOP to begin feeding.
