Section I: System Overview
Section I: System Overview Safety and Cautions Safety notice This section summarizes information basic to the safe operation of the equipment described in this manual. All safety precautions and operating instructions should be read and understood before installation, operation, maintenance, or repair of this device. Consult with Covidien-trained personnel before attempting to operate this equipment. Always follow product labeling and manufacturer’s recommendations. If in doubt as to how to proceed in any situation, contact your Covidien representative.
Note: For Enteral Feeding Only Description The Kangaroo™ feeding tube with IRIS technology is a single use device with a camera embedded in the distal end to aid in placement. The tube is made of radiopaque polyurethane material and features a Hydromer™* coated tip. The connectors are color coded to provide a visual indicator for enteral use only.
Indications The Kangaroo feeding tube with IRIS technology utilizes a video stream to aid a trained user during placement into the stomach or small bowel for the administration of nutrition, fluids, and medications by the naso-enteric route for patients aged 18 years and older who have an intact gastrointestinal tract, but are physically unable to manage nutritional intake through normal mastication and deglutition. A trained user, as defined per facility protocol or determined by clinical privileging, should read the Kangaroo Feeding Tube with IRIS Technology User Manual, Instructions for Use and review the training program provided. Facility protocol for insertion of any feeding tube should also be followed. Placement of the tip of the device into the small bowel should only be attempted by clinicians with expertise in small bowel placement. Prior to commencing administration, confirm correct tube placement per institutional protocol.
Actions • Acts as a conduit for food, fluids, and medications to a patient’s stomach or small bowel. • Avoid administration of light sensitive medications while the tube is connected to the interface cable.
Contraindications • Use caution with patients who have anomalies or diseases of the nose, throat, or esophagus. • The use of this product is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to its components.
Warnings • Coughing or any other symptom of respiratory distress would likely indicate that the device had been misplaced in the trachea. If this is suspected, remove the tube and guidewire and reinsert. • At any point during the procedure if continuous resistance is felt the device should be withdrawn and then reinserted. The operator should discontinue all attempts at placement after repetitive unsuccessful attempts (such as 5 or more) at device placement. • The presence of an endotracheal device tends to guide the feeding tube into the trachea. Should the feeding tube and guidewire (if guidewire is used) enter the tracheobrochial tree during tube placement, damage to the lung or esophagus could occur. If any resistance is felt during placement, remove the tube and guidewire and reinsert. Coughing or any other symptom of respiratory distress would likely indicate that the

device had been misplaced in the trachea. Misplacement of tubes into the lungs resulting in pneumothorax has been reported in neurologically impaired patients and those with endotracheal tubes in place. The operator should discontinue all attempts at placement after repetitive unsuccessful attempts (such as 5 or more) at device placement. • This device should only be inserted by a trained user. • The feeding tube is a disposable device intended for single use. Do not reuse. • Maintaining the patient in a High-Fowlers or SemiFowlers position may reduce regurgitation or aspiration. If using this position, do not lean patient forward. • The stylet must be removed prior to a patient MRI. • No modification of this equipment is allowed. • Do not use this device near flammable anesthetics or in oxygen rich environments. • There is a possibility of misconnection of the feeding tube connector and insufflation device connector with the following types of connectors: the sockets of anesthetic and respiratory equipment, conical oxygen tubing, connectors for breathing systems and driving gas applications, and conical connectors for limb cuff inflation applications. The feeding tube is specifically for the purpose of enteral feeding. The insufflation device is for use with the viewing system for connection with the feeding tube during placement, and is to be disconnected from the feeding tube after placement. Please avoid connection of these devices to devices of other applications and ensure that the tubing is appropriately connected in order to provide enteral nutrition to the patient. • Additional components or equipment connected to medical electrical equipment must comply with the respective IEC or ISO standards. All configurations shall comply with the requirement for medical electrical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or clause 16 of the 3Ed. of IEC 60601-1, respectively). If the operator connects additional components or equipment to the medical electrical equipment, the operator configures a medical system, and it is the operator’s responsibility that the system complies with the requirements for medical electrical systems. If in doubt, consult your local representative or the technical service department. • When light is emitted from tube tip, do not point directly at eye. • To minimize heat exposure of tissue, the Kangaroo feeding tube with IRIS technology should be disconnected from the interface cable after the placement is complete.
• The user should be aware of patients who have photosensitivity due to administered medications or other conditions since the device exposes internal tissues to light. • Do not autoclave. • Feeding tubes should be flushed frequently to prevent clogging. Suggested flushing schedule: a) before and after each feeding b) before and after administering medication c) once every four hours during continuous feeding or between intermittent feedings d) each time the feeding set is disconnected e) each time the feeding container is filled/changed f) each time the pump is stopped • Use only tap or sterile water to flush. Do not use solutions containing meat tenderizer to flush or open a clogged feeding tube. • Tube replacement may be considered at four (4) week intervals to ensure optimum tube patency. • Use a Kangaroo™ enteral feeding pump for accuracy and control of nutritional formula delivery. Infusion pumps that deliver in excess of 40 psi should not be used as excessive pressure is capable of causing tubes and pump sets to balloon and/or rupture. Consult pump manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations. • Administration of medications should be guided by hospital policy. Many liquid preparations contain Sorbitol™* which tends to interact with enteral formulas and clog the feeding tube. Thoroughly crush tablets, excluding enteric tablets which should never be crushed; however, always consult with your pharmacist regarding which tablets should be crushed for feeding tube administration. • The device generates light, the user should be aware of patients who have taken light sensitive medications or who may have photosensitivity. • Images from the camera going to the console may be lost or temporarily suspended during placement if performed near sources of electromagnetic energy such as RFID, diathermy equipment or hand-held metal detectors.
Adverse events Pneumothorax, intestinal perforation, and aspiration pneumonia have been reported during the use of this type of device.
Precautions • This device is not intended for diagnosis. Consult the appropriate service for diagnostic evaluation if there is concern regarding an image observed during placement.

8. Connect interface cable to console.
Position patient in accordance with facility protocol for feeding tube placement.
After entering patient information, the console will request a feeding tube to be attached.
To estimate insertion depth, use the tube to measure the distance from the tip of the patient’s nose to the earlobe and from the earlobe to the xiphoid process for gastric placement. Add approximately 10 (ten) inches (25 cm) for intestinal placement. Spontaneous transpyloric passage of the tip often occurs within 24 to 48 hours.
Start by connecting the larger end of the interface cable to the console.
Note: The Kangaroo feeding tube with IRIS technology tip is marked with an arrow on the tube near the feeding eyelets. The tip housing camera has optimal flexibility to bend in two directions, either towards or away from this arrow. Camera housing cm marks Flexibility direction arrow
9. Connect interface cable to feeding tube.

Section III: Setting Up and Using the Kangaroo Feeding Tube with IRIS Technology for Placement 10. Choose the most patent nare. Choose the most patent nare and insert the feeding tube with the stylet. Direct the feeding tube posteriorly, aiming the tip parallel to the nasal septum and superior surface of the hard palate. Advance the tube to the nasopharynx, allowing the tip to seek its own passage. Once in place, do not manipulate or pull the stylet back and forth within the feeding tube. When the tube has reached the oropharnyx, encourage the patient to swallow. Giving sips of cool or room temperature water may assist the passage of the tube.
WARNING Images of anatomical markers are for reference only. Refer to Kangaroo feeding tube with IRIS technology system training. Only a trained professional should use the system.
11. Using the insufflation device. The insufflation device is for use during placement of the Kangaroo feeding tube with IRIS technology to assist in the identification of anatomical landmarks. Slight distension of the anatomy around the camera’s viewing area can aid the visualization of the esophagus and the gastro-intestinal surfaces. Air may be needed for improved viewing of anatomical landmarks when tube tip insertion has progressed beyond the 25-35 cm mark. Additional air may be needed when advanced beyond the esophagogastric (E-G) junction. The volume of air needed for visualization will vary due to the amount of air expelled naturally by the patient during the procedure as well as the distribution of air in the GI tract. Do not administer more air than is necessary for visualization. However, it should be expected that excess air will be expelled naturally from the patient during and after insufflation. To use the insufflation device, insert the insufflation connector into the oral port of the Kangaroo feeding tube with IRIS technology. The feeding port should be closed off during tube insertion, either by maintaining the stylet hub in the feeding port or by placing the tethered cap into the feeding port. At the discretion of the clinician, air can be delivered through the feeding tube during the placement by manually squeezing the insufflation bulb, which provides approximately 30mL per hand squeeze. Monitor the patient’s level of tolerance and visual signs of abdominal distention. At any time, the clinician may press the black button on the insufflation device to release excess air. At the end of the placement, the insufflation device should be disconnected from the feeding tube and the oral port should be closed. 12. Using console for placement. While inserting the Kangaroo feeding tube with IRIS technology, utilize the console screen to correctly identify anatomical markers during placement (see path images at right).

Should the operator forget to end the procedure the system will automatically shut down after 120 minutes of the tube being powered on. 15. MR Information Card.
The MR information card provided within the instructions supplied with the Kangaroo feeding tube with IRIS technology is to be filled out and removed. The card is to be carried by the patient. 16. Confirm placement. Confirm feeding tube position per institutional protocol. Supportive confirmation includes auscultation of the upper left quadrant during injection of air using a syringe and aspiration of gastric contents. If stylet is used, placement confirmation may be confirmed with a stylet secured within the tube. These tubes are equipped with a radiopaque material for facilitating radiological (X-ray or fluoroscopic) confirmation. If there is uncertainty of the tube’s distal location after institutional placement verification methods have been performed, confirmation by X-ray should be considered. Stylet must be removed before commencement of enteral nutrition delivery.Safely dispose of all supplies according to the policy of your facility. The interface cable is re-usable, do not dispose.
CAUTION Disconnect the feeding tube from the interface cable prior to feedings. 17. View captured images. In the main menu, tap the folder menu icon. The folder menu will appear, displaying patient folders. Patient folders are named using their name, date of birth, and ID number. The patient folder holds all images captured during the procedure. Double tap the desired patient folder to view a list of images stored within. Double tapping on one of the images will display it on the screen. 18. Export images to USB. Images can be exported to a USB flash drive and opened on another computer. Plug the USB flash drive into the port on the side of the console. Then, tap the box on the left of the image(s) to be exported. Tapping the box at the left of the folder selects all images. Tap the USB icon. A pop-up screen will ask which USB port the USB flash drive is plugged into. Confirm the appropriate drive and press the check mark. If only one USB is connected, the console will highlight that option. For privacy purposes, a password has been created by an administrator.
