Flocare Infinity Quick Guide

Your new pump is there to make things a bit easier for you. Remember, using your pump shouldn't mean you have to miss out on anything you like to do. Even if you are not allowed to eat normal food, you can still have LOTS of fun!

Your pump is small and funky and you can take it with you wherever you go.
