Introduction
This enteral feeding pump contains an electronic circuit board. When discarding the pump at the end of its useful life,
it is recommended to remove the back label, unscrew the back housing from the pump, and remove the circuit board
from the pump. Recycle if possible or dispose of the circuit board in accordance with local laws. Avoid discarding
circuit boards in normal waste, as this may have environmental impacts. For more ideas on recycling, consider

During periods where the pump is not used for long durations of time, consider unplugging the power adaptor from
the outlet. This conserves energy and reduces carbon footprint, while maximizing the life of the device.

General Warnings

Read this manual thoroughly before using Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump.

Warnings

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. Explosion Hazard. Do Not use Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
Flammable anesthetics can ignite due to a spark within the unit, which could result in fire or explosion.
3. Free Flow Hazard. Only Use Kangaroo OMNI™ Feeding Sets with Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump.
Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump is designed to be incompatible with other feeding sets. Use of other
feeding sets with Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump can create hazardous situations, including free-flow
conditions that can result in underfeeding, overfeeding, enteral fluids in the lungs, and death to a patient.
The Kangaroo OMNI™ Feeding sets are designed with a valve, which works to prevent free flow or over infusion
when the set is removed from the pump.
4. Not for intravenous use. Do not use Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump for intravenous infusion into a
patient. Intravenous infusion of enteral fluids can result in serious complications, up to and including death.
5. 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.
6. The use of accessories not listed in this manual could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
7. Do Not use non-prescribed feeding enteral fluids. Enteral fluids made in a blender present variability of unknown
ingredients and inconsistency regarding the degree of mixing. The use of enteral fluids of smooth consistency
that would be categorized as level 2, 3, or 4 drinks within the IDDSI framework is recommended. Ensure that
enteral fluids are homogenous/smooth consistency when using a feeding pump.
8. Do Not use the Kangaroo OMNI™ Thick Formula Feeding Sets for administration of thick formula with access
devices less than 8 Fr.
9. Do Not allow interconnection of other systems to the enteral feeding line. This could cause hazards that could
lead to over infusion, under infusion, and aspiration.
10. Always prime the flush tube before the feed tube when using Kangaroo OMNI™ Feed Sets with Flush Bags. The
Auto Prime feature of Kangaroo OMNI™ will manage this for you. Priming the flush tube after priming the feed
tube will introduce air in the tubing after the feeding solution, which will require the feed tube to be primed again
to remove the air.
11. Do Not clean Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump or accessories while these items are plugged into an
electrical outlet.
12. Do Not modify Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump without authorization of the manufacturer. Modification
of any devices or accessories can result in physical hazards including delayed therapy, under-delivery,
over-delivery, electrocution, and fire. These hazards could result in patient injury or death.
13. Do Not use Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump with multiple socket-outlets or extension cords. The
use of multiple socket-outlets or extension cords will compromise electrical safety and/or increase the risk of
electrical shock.
