Description

The Nutricia Flocare Infinity Feeding Pump (Infinity III) is a portable, water‑resistant rotary peristaltic enteral feeding pump designed for controlled delivery of tube feeds to the gastrointestinal tract. It supports adult and paediatric use, operates in any orientation, and is intended for use with Flocare Infinity giving sets that provide anti‑free‑flow protection and dependable dosing accuracy.

Performance and dosing

• Flow rate: 1–600 mL/h, adjustable in 1 mL/h increments.
• Target volume (dose): programmable in 1 mL steps (dose is a volume, not a rate).
• Delivery accuracy: ±5% when used with Flocare Infinity giving sets.
• Modes: Rate‑only, Volume/Rate, and Intermittent (time‑intervals) to support varied feeding regimens.

Safety and detection

• Ultrasonic air‑in‑line detection plus upstream and downstream occlusion alarms.
• Escalating visual and audio alarms with clear on‑screen status; an information (i) button provides guidance.
• Keypad/program lock and therapy lock (PIN in pause) to help prevent tampering.
• Anti‑free‑flow design of Flocare Infinity sets prevents gravity feeding with these sets.

Interface and usability

• Colour display with wide viewing angle and an intuitive, ergonomic keypad.
• On/Off and Fill Set require a deliberate ~2‑second press (audible beep) to activate.
• Supports multiple languages.
• Retains the last program and delivered volume since last clear; stores administered therapy history for up to 30 days.

Operation and priming

• Operates in any orientation. With Nutricia Pack feeds and Flocare Infinity sets (non‑air‑dependent), a drip stand is not required; use a vented reservoir and stand with other feed containers.
• Fill Set priming delivers approximately 12 mL per cycle; press to start/stop and repeat as needed to displace residual air.

Power and battery

• Lithium‑ion battery, nominal 3.7 V DC, ~3200 mAh; state‑of‑health monitored.
• Approximate runtime: 24 hours at 125 mL/h on a full charge (rate and battery age dependent).
• Recharge time ~6 hours; can be used while charging. User warning indicates when battery health is ~70% depleted. Typical runtime at 125 mL/h declines from ~24 h (1–2 years) to ~12 h (5 years); at ~70% depletion ≈7.2 h.

Water resistance and cleaning

• Rated around IPX5: washable under running water; not for submersion. External power adaptor is not waterproof.
• Cleaning: switch off and disconnect from mains; wipe with mild/diluted detergent; rinse under warm running water (do not immerse); clean sensor area carefully; air‑dry ~30 minutes before reconnecting. Do not sterilize by irradiation, EtO, steam, or autoclave. Avoid aggressive solvents.

Compatibility, connectivity, and maintenance

• Use only with Flocare Infinity giving sets; patented pump insert supports accuracy and alarm functionality. Wide range of sets available for different reservoirs.
• Compatible with external alarm systems (e.g., nurse‑call) and Patient Data Monitoring System via dedicated cables; alarm information retrievable via special data cable.
• Designed for ease of maintenance with device service reminders; periodic inspection and accuracy/electrical safety checks recommended. Certain assemblies (e.g., door/rotor) are field‑replaceable by qualified personnel.
