1INTRODUCTION
The Flocare® Infinity™III pump is a rotary peristaltic enteral feeding pump. The pump provides a variety of options
that allow for customisation for each patient and a flexible approach to enteral feeding therapy.
The Flocare Infinity III pump provides better care while maintaining the accurate and safe performance you would
expect. The Flocare Infinity III pump can provide individual tailored therapies for nutrition delivery.
2INTENDED USE
The Flocare Infinity III is intended to be used to administer enteral nutrition or hydration fluids in a safe, controlled
and intuitive manner into the gastrointestinal tract of a patient.
The pump will operate in a clinical environment or home care setting and can be used by trained care givers and
patients for bedside as well as for mobile use.
3SAFETY INFORMATION
3.1 GENERAL SAFETY
▪Read the entire instructions for use before using the Flocare Infinity III enteral feeding pump.
▪The user should be trained in the operation of the Flocare Infinity III and its accessories.
It is recommended to follow the on-line training tool or get trained by an experienced and qualified trainer
▪The Flocare Infinity III enteral feeding pump should only be used in combination with the appropriate Flocare®
Infinity™ giving sets. The use of non-Flocare® Infinity™ giving sets will generate unforeseen hazards and will
not provide the same functionality and safety. Consult your local Nutricia sales representative for information
on available Flocare® Infinity™ giving sets.
▪Replace the Flocare Infinity giving set every 24 hours to maintain delivery accuracy, functionality, allow proper
system performance and prevent potential retrograde growth of bacteria. Do not program volume and rate
combinations which exceed a 24-hour feed regimen.
▪Enteral 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.
▪Strangulation hazard: avoid leaving AC power plug cord and Flocare Infinity giving set tubing where infants or
young children can become caught around the neck.
▪Choking hazard: caution should be taken as the Flocare Infinity giving sets contains loose parts which may be
dangerous for young children.
▪Using the Flocare Infinity III pump’s VOLUME function is recommended to program as good practice.
▪The Flocare Infinity III can be used for adult and paediatric patients, it is the responsibility of the healthcare
giver to verify that the patient can tolerate the programmed volume and flow rate.
▪Do not use the pump in strong magnetic fields. e.g. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) environments.
3.2 WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS AND CONTRA INDICATIONS
General warnings / getting started
▪Only use the Flocare Infinity III enteral feeding pump for delivery of enteral feeding solutions or hydration fluids.
Do not use for intravenous administration.
▪A leaking enteral feeding system might compromise the pumps ability to detect an occlusion. Ensure the enteral
feeding system is installed and connected properly. During a feeding therapy, ensure there is no leakage
observed within the system.
In case of any leakage, tighten the connectors and closure caps and verify whether leakage stopped. In case the
leakage still occurs, the Flocare Infinity giving set should be replaced.
•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.
•Use only approved cleaning agents, using non-approved cleaning agents might harm the pump.
•To avoid electrical shock, switch the pump off and remove the plug from the mains before cleaning the pump.
•Make sure the Infinity AC power adapter is completely dry before plugging into the mains.

4
Before using or setting a feeding regimen, check the integrity of the pump for the items below.
▪There are no cracks anywhere on the pump housing.
▪The power pins of the AC adaptor socket of the pump are of equal length, not bent and not corroded.
▪The keypad is not cut or damaged and the text is legible.
▪Scratches on the display that affects display legibility.
▪Inspect the rotor; verify that the rollers are not damaged, perpendicularly in relation to the rotor and turn freely
by hand.
▪Verify the AC power socket pins are not bent or corroded.
▪Verify that the AC power adapter incl. housing and cord is clean and not damaged.
Caution: Do not use the pump if it is damaged.
Use of home brew tube feed / Powder based tube feed
▪Any nutrition added into the enteral feeding line must be of a homogeneous nature and should remain
homogeneous during the feeding regimen.
▪Use only feeding solutions prescribed by the responsible clinician, registered dietician, registered nurse or other
licensed practitioner.
▪Nutricia recommend using ready to feed tube nutrition as this is developed for the intended delivery
specifications of the pump.
▪Non-liquid food ingredients and mixed or reconstituted foods may tend to occlude the flow within the feeding
tube and Flocare Infinity giving set. Clinicians and caregivers should carefully monitor the pump during use with
these types of feeds.
▪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).
▪Mixed or reconstituted nutrition may have foam. If using this type of nutrition, allow it to sit for some time until
the foam has been dissolved before pouring it into a feeding reservoir. This will reduce the chance of an ‘AIR in
giving set’ alarm.
▪In using any mixed, reconstituted powdered nutrition or breast milk, we advise users to ensure the nutrition is
prepared and dissolved properly as to avoid particles, foam accumulation or films in the Flocare Infinity giving
set potentially hampering pump performance and a normal feeding regimen.
Technical & EMC
▪The manufacturer recommends an inspection of the pump every 2 years by an authorised service centre or a
trained and qualified technician.
▪If a technical failure occurs or if the pump is dropped, the pump should be checked by an authorised service
centre or a trained and qualified technician.
▪Do not modify this equipment. Modification of this device or its accessories can result in physical hazards
including delayed therapy, over delivery, under delivery, electrocution and fire. These hazards could result in
patient injury or death.
▪The use of other accessories, adaptors and cables than listed within this manual may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment of the Flocare® Infinity™ pump.
▪Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information provided in the accompanying documents.
▪Portable and mobile RF communications equipment (cellular telephones) can affect medical electrical
equipment.
▪If the Flocare® Infinity™ pump is used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment, the pump should be
observed to verify normal operation.

5
Alarm usage
▪Do not use the Infinity alarm systems to trigger actions related to secondary (electrical) medical devices (e.g. a
volumetric or syringe pump).
▪Do not use pump functions for any other purpose than described in this manual.
E.g. FILL SET function to overcome an occlusion or the AIR in giving set alarm to indicate end of therapy.
