Considerations for Infants and Children

1. Thick formula is not recommended for use in infants <6 months of age.
2. Use caution when administering thick formula in patients who cannot tolerate delivery of the prescribed volume
within 10% accuracy. This includes, but is not limited to infants, critically ill patients or those who may experience a
clinical impact due to underfeeding or overfeeding.

Intended Purpose (Intended Use)

The Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump with Kangaroo OMNI™ Feeding Sets are intended for delivery of enteral
fluids, including nutritional fluids and/or water to the gastrointestinal system via nasogastric, orogastric, nasojejunal,
gastrostomy, and jejunostomy tubes. Not for use with neonates.

Indications for Use

The Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump with Kangaroo OMNI™ Feeding Sets are indicated for use in patients
ages infant and older who are physically unable to eat and swallow or who are unable to get sufficient nutrition
through eating and swallowing. The Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump and Feeding Set are intended to be used
together as a system. Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Sets for administration of standard formula are able to be
connected to access devices of all sizes that are ENFit™ compatible. The Kangaroo OMNI™ Thick Formula Feeding Sets

1. Strangulation Hazard. Do Not leave tubing and cords where infants, children, or those deemed at high risk
for medical line entanglement can become entangled. Be aware that if these items become wrapped around
a patient's neck, there is an increased risk of strangulation or death. Caregivers of patients who are at risk for
entanglement should discuss with their health care provider how to properly manage their lines and properly
monitor patients based on their needs while in use.
2. Choking Hazard. Do Not leave small components in reach of small children. Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding
Pump, and Kangaroo OMNI™ Feeding Sets all contain small parts which could become detached and pose a
choking hazard. Some of these components could be inhaled or swallowed by a small child, toddler, or infant,
which could result in suffocation and death.
3. Only use Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump for patients who can tolerate the flow rates and accuracy
of the Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump. Delivery of enteral fluids to patients who cannot tolerate
Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump accuracy can result in under or over delivery with the possibility
of aspiration.
4. The clinician will make the informed determination as to the type of administering protocol that is most
appropriate for each specific patient.
