• A leaking enteral feeding system might compromise the pump's 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, replace the Flocare Infinity giving set.

• No cracks 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.

Caution: Do not use the pump if it is damaged.
• The health care professional is responsible to determine the therapy setting and clinical
needs, as well as the appropriate surveillance scheme and its frequency. If the required
surveillance scheme cannot be guaranteed by the care giver, then it is to be discussed
with the healthcare professional, who can advise the patient an alternative therapy
solution.
