Section 5 - System Setup 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 either the pump or the WCH. This can be done using the “slide and click” attachment feature located on the back of the pump and the WCH (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. 4
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. If assistance is needed in setting up, using, or maintaining the pump, please contact Customer Service for additional support.
Installing the Wireless Communications Hub (WCH)
Fig. 5
The WCH is designed to work with two accessories that come with the pump: the Kangaroo™ connect power cord with adapter and Kangaroo™ connect pole clamp. If it is desired to have the WCH powered or attached independent from the pump, contact Customer Support to order additional accessories. To Install the WCH, complete the following steps: 1. Remove packaging materials from the WCH. 2. Place the WCH on a tabletop surface or affix to the pole clamp. 3. Plug in the pump power adapter into a wall outlet. 4. Plug the keyed end of the power adapter into the WCH. 5. Look through the transparent window on the back of the WCH. The Power symbol should be lit up to indicate that power is being supplied to the WCH. 6. Looking through the same window, confirm that the ZigBee™* wireless icon is steadily lit with a green color. If the wireless icon is not lit or is flashing irregularly, relocate the pump closer to the WCH.

Section 8 - Cleaning Caution: Neither the pump nor the WCH is designed to be immersed underwater. Do not immerse the pump, WCH, or power adapter in water or other cleaning solutions. Failure to follow the cleaning procedures described herein could result in hazards to users, patients, and clinicians. As with any A/C powered electrical device, care must be taken to prevent liquid from entering the pump and WCH to avoid electrical shock hazard, fire hazard, or damage to electrical components. Caution: Disconnect pump and WCH from A/C power source before cleaning. After cleaning, do not connect to an A/C power source until pump, WCH, and power adapter are thoroughly dry. If any of the following events occur, do not use the pump or WCH until it has been properly cleaned and dried. For assistance, please contact Customer Service:
General cleaning directions Cleaning Chemicals: A mild detergent should be used for general cleaning. If necessary, the pump and WCH may be cleaned with a 10:1 water and bleach mixture, however, repeated cleaning with this solution can damage the plastic housings. Isopropyl alcohol, applied with a damp cotton swab, may be used for cleaning difficult-to-reach areas. However, it should be used sparingly because repeated cleaning may damage the device housings. Do not use strong cleaners such as Spraynine™*, Phisohex™*, Hibiclens™*, or Vesta-Syde™* because damage to the pump and WCH housing can result. Cleaning Frequency: It is recommended that the pump and WCH be cleaned after each feeding set use, to prevent bacterial contamination of the pump. Further, failure to clean the pump can interfere with the function of the pump rotor, which can increase the occurrence of errors and warning alarms. See below for methods for cleaning each component. Caution: It is necessary to clean and/or disinfect the pump and WCH after each use when these devices are used for multiple patients. This is to prevent spreading bacteria, viruses, and other germs between patients that interact with the same pump and WCH. Directions for Cleaning the WCH: • Refer to General Cleaning Directions before starting. • Clean the outside surface with a damp cloth or sponge using a mild detergent. • Caution: Washing the WCH under running water or through submersion will result in damage to the unit! The WCH is designed to a water resistance of IP21 per the IEC 60529 standard, which does not allow for submersion in water or under a running faucet.

• Refer to General Cleaning Directions before starting. • Clean outside surface with a damp cloth or sponge. • For difficult to clean areas, it is permissible to wash the pump under running water. Avoid submerging the pump or washing with high pressure nozzles, which exceeds the water proof rating of the pump. The pump casing has a water proof rating of “water jet resistant”. This allows for washing under running water or wiping with a damp cloth. Directions for Cleaning Power Adapter
• Wetting of the pump’s power adapter • Leakage into the pump interior • Leakage into the WCH Interior
Directions for Cleaning pump Housing
• Refer to General Cleaning Directions before starting. • Unless soiling is observed, the power adapter should not be cleaned. • If cleaning of the power adapter is necessary, unplug from outlet and wipe the exterior surfaces of the wall plug with a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. • Allow excess moisture to evaporate from the cord prior to use of power adapter. • Caution: Washing the power adapter with a wet cloth, under running water, or through submersion will result in damage to the unit! The power adapter is rated IPX0, which means it is not water resistant. Caution: Avoid exposing the power adapter to excess moisture, as this can lead to an electrical shock or fire hazard.
Preventative maintenance This pump may be periodically tested to assure proper functioning and safety. Testing may be done at the user’s Biomedical Engineering Department, an outside service, or by Covidien Factory Service. Additionally, for customer convenience, the new pump and WCH can be used together to certify the pump remotely. For instructions on Wireless Certification of the pump, see Section 7. To arrange for Covidien Factory Service in the US, call 1-800-448-0190. In Canada, call 1-877-664-8926. Outside of the US and Canada, please contact your local Customer Service for more information. If a pump malfunctions, please contact your Covidien Representative or call Customer Service for instruction.

Section 9 - Alarms and Troubleshooting Feeding Set Usage > 24 Hours Condition
LED Indicator Lights The pump status LED indicator lights on the upper right of the pump face which gives a quick visual indication of the pump status, especially in darkened rooms. 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.
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.
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 or WCH, please report any findings to Customer Service. Operator’s position 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: 1. Load a new feeding set onto the pump 2. Leave the feeding set empty! 3. Run Auto Prime
The SETTINGS LOCKED screen will appear if the Lock Settings feature has been activated in the Biotech Mode. See the Section, “Entering Biotech Mode” to access this feature. 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. Follow the instructions for Entering Biotech Mode. Next, remove the check mark in the box next to the Lock Settings option.
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. How to temporarily silence/clear the alarm The alarms cannot be permanently silenced or muted. However, by pressing the Silence Alarm button, the alarm audio can be temporarily silenced for two minutes. 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.
