14. Do Not use Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump adjacent to or stacked with other equipment because it
could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump and the other
equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
15. Always refer to the Pediatric section on page 8 for content specific to the pediatric patient population.
16. The High Priority (Critical) audible alarm volume for the pump can be adjusted by a pump user or operator. Since
the alarm can be adjusted to a lower volume, there is a possibility that the auditory alarm signal volume can be
set to less than the ambient noise levels in the room. In this case, the noise in the room can prevent or impede
operator recognition of audible alarm signal conditions. Care should be taken to ensure that visual indicators can
be seen by the operator at all times in these cases or the medical device volume should be raised in the settings to
be above ambient noise conditions.
