The Flocare
Infinity™ is a small, lightweight, rotary peristaltic enteral feeding pump designed to deliver
®
programmed doses 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 commencing 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.

pump set to ensure proper fluid delivery. (consult your local Nutricia sales representative for information
on available pump sets). Others will not deliver the correct dose, may allow dangerous free-flow conditi-
ons, and may generate hazardous fluid pressures which may activate occlusion alarms at unpredictable
pressures.
• 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
consistent and controlled administration of enteral nutrition as well as simultaneous application of
medication (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 therapy period. Using the Infinity
cases (see section "To set a Dose").
• 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 specifications of the pump.
• If using any mixed or reconstituted powdered nutrition, we advise users to ensure the nutrition is prepa-
red and dissolved 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 homogeneous 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 / sub-
strate added).
• 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.
Service Life - Under normal conditions of use, including proper cleaning and inspection, if servicing recom-
mendations and protocols are adhered to, the pump has an expected lifespan of minimum 5 years. The
expected service life of the battery is 2 to 5 years, depending on usage and number of charging cycles.
The manufacturer recommends an inspection of the pump at an authorised service centre every 2 years
as indicated on the pump (indicator 9). Only authorised personnel should perform service work on Infinity
pumps. Please contact your local Sales Organisation / Nutricia Subsidiary for all service and repair of
pumps (see address at the back of the booklet).
