INDICATIONS FOR USE

This pump is intended for the delivery of ente-
ral nutrition and hydration at controlled rates
to patient's gastrointestinal system.

INTRODUCTION

GENERAL
Upon receipt of a new pump, plug it in for a
minimum of 12 hours to charge the backup
battery. For maximum battery life, charge
the battery at least every 30 days, even if
the pump is not in use. Whenever the backup
battery is used to power the pump, charge for
12 hours as soon as conveniently possible. The
backup battery is designed to provide tempora-
ry power to the pump if AC outlet power is
interrupted. Frequent, extended operation of
the pump on the backup battery will shorten
battery life, requiring service by an authorized
service representative. The EntraFlo™ Nutrition
Feeding Pump is an easy-to-use, versatile
device for the appropriate administration of
enteral feeding solutions.
