Wireless Features The wireless feature of the Kangaroo Connect pump is initially disabled unless activated by a specific type of feeding set. Through the use of a wireless enabled Kangaroo Connect pump and a communications hub, clinicians will be provided with the ability to acquire and display nutritional delivery data from the pump within a website called the Kangaroo Connect Portal.
Wireless Safety
The wireless technology used within the Kangaroo Connect pump and communications hub is built on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard which transmits in the ISM band (2.4GHz). A patented combination of short range and long range wireless provides seamless wireless capability for the pump.
1. The pump only provides alarms directly from the pump to a user/ clinician. The pump does not provide real time communication of alarms though the wireless communications feature, but rather logs historical alarm events. This prevents confusion as to how the pump alarms (only through the pump itself ) and prevents the condition where loss of wireless connection could cause a missed alarm.
The following are required in order to utilize the wireless capability of the Kangaroo Connect Pump: 1. Kangaroo Connect pump with short range wireless chip (located in but initially disabled in ALL Kangaroo Connect pumps) 2. Either a: • Kangaroo Connect wireless communication hub (WCH) with 3G wireless capability, or • Kangaroo Connect WiFi/Ethernet communications module (WiFi module) with WiFi/Ethernet capability 3. Kangaroo Connect ENtelliSet Feeding Set (designed to enable the short range wireless chip in the pump when loaded in the pump) 4. Internet access
Wireless Quality of Service The wireless communication feature of the Kangaroo Connect pump was designed to add multiple features and benefits without compromising pump safety. In the event of an intermittent or failed wireless connection, the pump feeding operation is designed to work independently of any wireless connection and will continue to operate normally and safely. Therefore, the patient can be confident their pump will continue to work properly even if there is a wireless delay, loss of signal, or wireless failure. The communication system is designed to take advantage of the time when a connection is available and wait for a connection to be restored when it is not. The pump will store data for up to 30 days, for upload when a connection is available. As the pump is designed to be ambulatory, loss of wireless capability is expected to be a common occurrence. The Kangaroo Connect pump wireless system has an acceptable latency of 25 seconds for message exchanges. (Typical latency is approximately 5 seconds.) However, this latency is not a concern because the data is not being used in real time. Since the pump confirms that all transmitted data is received by the Kangaroo Connect Portal before it is deleted, any data not acknowledged will be resent at a later time within the 30 day window. Considering the acceptable latency and a low signal priority on the network, the following table shows the network access time required by the pump to prevent any loss of stored data based on the probability of network data loss: Probability of Network Data Loss Network Access Time Required (Hours)

The following pump features were specifically designed to ensure patient safety related to use of the wireless communication feature:
2. The pump is designed to operate independently of any wireless communications, allowing it to continue to provide safe and effective enteral nutrition to a patient. Therefore, the patient can be confident their pump will continue to work properly even if there is a wireless delay, loss of signal or wireless failure. 3. The wireless data communicated by the pump is encrypted for patient security and protection. No confidential patient information is communicated from the pump to internet, so privacy remains intact and secure. 4. With medical device hacking being a heightened concern, this pump has been designed from the ground up to prevent wireless intrusions seen on older medical devices. This pump was tested to the latest standard of penetration testing to help safeguard against possible intrusions.
System Configuration / Operation No additional system configuration is required to operate the wireless communication feature. Refer to Section 5 – System Setup for instructions on how to install the WCH or WiFi module.
Operating Distances and Ranges For the wireless capability to work properly, the pump must be within 300 feet of the WCH or WiFi module with direct line of sight. Obstructions such as walls and doors will reduce this range. Strength of the wireless signal between the pump and WCH or WiFi module can be determined by looking at the wireless icon on the pump screen.
Wireless Coexistence Wireless coexistence testing has been performed on the wireless communication feature of the Kangaroo Connect pump. Testing established on the intended environment included multiple sources of possible interference such as Wi-Fi connections, Bluetooth devices, cellular connections, cordless phones, and microwaves, with no degradation of signal noted. Should a coexistence issue be suspected, turn off or relocate any other electronic devices located near the pump or WCH or WiFi module which might generate interference.
Kangaroo™ Connect Enteral Feeding Pump | 4
Wireless Features Wireless Communication Delay In the event of an unexpected wireless disruption: 1. Move the pump closer to the WCH or WiFi module 2. Reduce or remove obstructions between the pump and WCH or WiFi module. Having direct line of sight between the pump and WCH or WiFi module is important to a good wireless signal. The pump will store its data waiting for the system to come back online for a maximum of 30 days while the pump is disconnected from the communication system. Data older than 30 days will be deleted from the pump to conserve data storage resources on the pump. Once communication is restored, the pump will send the backlogged data (up to 30 days) to the Kangaroo Connect Portal.
Wireless Security The wireless communications of the pump are designed to utilize a multitude of methods to protect data in every stage of the communication pathway. In addition to the use of a proprietary communications data protocol, the serial number assigned to each pump is encoded both at rest and while in transit. Pump data is encrypted at the pump before transmission to the WCH or WiFi module. At the WCH or WiFi module, the data is decrypted and then re-encrypted via AES before transmission to the Kangaroo Connect Portal.

Section 5 - System Setup Important Note: The basic Kangaroo Connect enteral feeding setup consists of the pump, AC power adapter, feeding set and pole clamp. If necessary, the car charger may be used to supplement the AC power adapter. The pump can provide remote communications if one of the wireless accessories (either the WCH or WiFi module) is installed along with the pump, and a Kangaroo Connect ENtelliSet Feeding Set is being used. The pump and WCH or WiFi module, along with feeding sets and accessories need to be installed and put into service in accordance with the information provided by this manual and accompanying documents.
Attaching the power adapter The pump may be charged directly or through use of the WCH. 1. The pump can be charged directly. a.
Plug the power adapter into the power adapter port located on the left side of the pump (Fig. 1). Plug the other end of the power adapter into a nearby A/C outlet. Or if using the car charger power adapter, plug the cylindrical connector into the car charger port.
b.
Check to see that the A/C Indicator Light is on to confirm that the pump is receiving power.
c.
Since the pump batteries are shipped with less than full charge, be sure to charge the pump for a minimum of 7 hours before initial use.
2. T he WCH is designed to serve as a docking station to re-charge the pump batteries. Quick disconnection is facilitated with the clearly visible eject button located on the left side of the WCH. Note: The WCH uses the same power adapter that is provided with the pump. To re-charge the pump in this configuration, simply:
Fig. 1
1. Place the WCH on a tabletop surface or attach to pole clamp. 2. Plug the pump power adapter into the port on the back of the WCH (Fig. 2). 3. Slide the pump from right to left into the WCH until you hear a click (Fig 3). The WCH is designed to automatically latch the pump to the base when the pump is fully seated in the base. 4. Check to see that the Power Indicator Light is on to confirm that the pump is receiving power from the wall outlet. See page 3, number 4, to find the location of the A/C Indicator Light. 5. Since the pump batteries are shipped with less than full charge, be sure to charge the pump for a minimum of 7 hours before initial use. 6. Since the WCH also provides wireless capability to the pump, check that the wireless module is activated by looking through the window on the back of the wireless communications hub (WCH). Confirm that the Power icon in the window is lit up. Reference Section 5 for icon descriptions and pictures.
Fig. 2
The Kangaroo Connect enteral feeding pump and WCH can be attached to a vertical pole using the pole clamp which is included with the pump. The pole clamp can easily retain the pump or the WCH. This can be done using the “slide and click” attachment feature located on the back of the pump (Fig. 4). To attach the pole clamp to an IV pole, place the inside elbow of the clamp against the IV pole. Turn the knob to tighten the pole clamp against the IV pole. Turn the knob hard enough so the pole clamp does not slide down the pole. Next, rotate the plastic latch plate of the pole clamp so that the “slide and click” feature looks like an upside down letter “U”. Once this step is complete, you are ready to attach the pump or WCH to the pole clamp.
Fig. 3
Table of Contents
Kangaroo™ Connect Enteral Feeding Pump | 10
Section 5 - System Setup Hold the pump and place the back face of the pump against the flat portion of the pole clamp latch plate. Slide the pump to the right until the pump hits the latch plate guide. Keeping contact with the guide, slide the pump downward until you hear a positive “click”. This indicates that the pump has been properly seated. To remove the pump, gently pull upward on the pump until it “pops” upward off the latch plate (Fig 5). Follow the same procedure as above for attachment of the WCH to the pole clamp. The pole clamp is designed to work universally with either the pump or the WCH (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6). Note: The plastic retention plate is designed to be rotated in 90 degree increments to allow attachment to a horizontal tabletop surface or a horizontal bed rail. This rotation is done by grasping the latch plate and twisting until the latch plate “pops” into the next angled position.
Fig. 4
If assistance is needed in setting up, using, or maintaining the pump, please contact Customer Service for additional support.

After two minutes, the alarm audio will restart. To re-engage the audio alarm before the two minutes is up, press the Bell button. This will restart the audible alarm and end the temporary pause of the alarm.
A solid green light indicates the pump is feeding. A blinking green light indicates the pump is ready for operation but not feeding. A solid yellow light indicates an informational notice. A blinking yellow light indicates a caution. A blinking red light indicates a critical warning. See the information below for detailed descriptions of each warning. If an unexpected operation or event occurs while using the pump, please report any findings to Customer Service.
Feeding Set Usage > 24 Hours Condition LED indicator: Solid Green The feeding set usage indicator is a reminder that will appear on the bottom of the FEEDING screen if a Feeding Set has been used for 24 or more hours (hours actually running). It is recommended to replace feeding sets after this length of usage. This icon is only an informational message and does not require immediate action.
Caregiver Alarm Notification All alarms are intended to be heard by operators that are within hearing range of the pump buzzer. The pump buzzer is located on the back of the pump. The pump is designed so the alarm can be heard within the patient’s room, at a minimum. The display and LED alarm indicators are intended to be seen by an operator within the room, facing the front of the pump. Since audible alarms are limited by distance, it is recommended that the operator conduct a check to determine at what distance the alarm can still be heard.
Settings locked Notification LED indicator: blinking green
Note: Going outside of the patient’s room may make hearing the alarms more difficult.
Verifying functionality of the alarm system The best method to confirm the proper functionality of the alarm system is to run a Performance Certification cycle (See Section 7: Certification of Performance). Another quick test that can be performed to confirm audibility and function of alarms is:
The SETTINGS LOCKED screen will appear if the Lock Settings feature has been activated in the Biotech Mode. By design, no settings can be changed while the pump is in this state. To disable the Lock Settings, you must disable this feature in the Biotech mode.
1. Load a new feeding set onto the pump 2. Leave the feeding set empty! 3. Run Auto Prime 4. Once the pump begins priming, it will detect a Feed Bag Empty condition and alarm 5. Confirm that the audible alarm, color display, and colored LEDs all properly indicate a Feed Bag Empty condition Caution: To allow proper operation of audible alarms, avoid blocking or obstructing the series of buzzer holes located in the back of the pump.
