IMPORTANT:
Discard the used feeding bag set and use a new set every 24 hours.
Calculate the amount of formula required for 8 hours of feeding and pour only that amount into
the feeding bag at a time. Refill bag as needed after 8 hrs. This will reduce possible bacterial
growth.
The carrying case is machine washable. If case becomes soiled, it can be wiped clean or washed
on gentle cycle in the machine.
The Kangaroo Joey pump, when fully charged, will run for approximately 18 hrs. If feeding rate is
greater than 125 ml/hr, the pump battery may deplete sooner than 18 hrs.

ENTERAL PRODUCT STORAGE GUIDELINES:
General Temperature Guidelines
General recommended storage temperature ranges for your nutritional product is between
32 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The most desirable temperature range for storage of
unopened containers is room temperature, between 55 and 75 degrees F. Storage at
these temperatures will assure the highest-quality product.
Unopened products should be stored in a cool, dry area. Prolonged exposure to
temperatures below 32 degrees F or to direct heat above 95 degrees F could affect the
physical consistency of the product.
Extreme Storage Conditions
Do not freeze formula products or store at greater than 95 degrees F. Excess
temperatures, even for short time periods, can cause physical changes in the products,
rendering them undesirable or unusable.
Additional Powder Storage Recommendations
Powdered formula should be used within one month from opening. Although the powders
will not "spoil" from a microbiological perspective, some of the vitamins and fatty acids will
degrade over time when exposed to oxygen. Powdered nutritional products should be
stored in a cool, dry area. Opened powder cans should be covered; they should not be
stored in the refrigerator.
