Appendix A - Accuracy Graphs
Head Height Effect on Accuracy
The diagram below show how variation from the recommend hang height affects accuracy.
Effects of Back Pressure on Accuracy
The nominal back pressure Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump accuracy testing is established at the distal
connector on the end of the feeding set. This is compared with the back pressure that would be experienced when the
distal connector is plugged into a 6.5 fr, 36 in. long nasogastric tube. Operating Kangaroo OMNI™ at the limits of this
back pressure range can exhibit the accuracy effects seen in the graph below:

Single Fault Condition Effect on Accuracy
In the event of a single fault short circuit in Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump electronics, a maximum Feed of
3.02 mL of extra fluid delivery may occur.
