Kangaroo Feeding Pump Operation Instructions

If you or a loved one has a condition or an injury where you need continuous feeding through an IV system, it can be hard to keep up with daily feeding schedules. The Kangaroo Feeding Pump takes out the work from this procedure, keeping the patient fed through a timer and pump system. Once the pump is installed properly, you will be able to operate it using the system control panel with little trouble.

Instructions

• 1

  Fill the feeding bag portion of the Kangaroo pump according to instructions from your doctor or nurse. When the bag is full, clamp the bag closed to secure the contents. Press the "ON" button on the control panel of the pump to power on the device.

• 2

  Do not press a button until the display screen finishes a start up check and you see nothing on the display. Press the "VOL" button followed by the "CLR" button to erase the previous settings on the feeding pump and to enter in new settings.

• 3

  Press the "Up" or "Down" arrows on the control panel to adjust the delivery rate of the pump to match your doctor's instructions. When the display matches the correct rate, press the "Dose" button followed by the arrow buttons to adjust the dosage level.

• 4

  Push the latch of the pump and pull it downward to release the loading arm. Insert the drip chamber into the chamber guides located under the loading arm. When this is in place, insert the tubing from the bag into the loading arm.

• 5

  Open the clamp on the tube and allow the line and the drip chamber to fill with fluid. Allow the fluid to reach the fill line in the drip chamber and then close the clamp. Attach the pump connector to the end of the feeding tube and close the loading arm by turning the latch to the left until it closes. Press the "Start/Hold" button to begin operation.
