Programming the pump
• The Flocare
®
Infinity
™
pump can be used for continuous or dose feeding.
• Insert the pump set in the pump, switch the pump on and prime the line (see paragraph:
priming of the pump set).
• The display shows the total volume delivered since the pump was last cleared.
• If necessary clear the volume delivered by pressing the "CLR" key.
• The last installed flow rate (ml/h) is now displayed.
• The pump is now in the "hold" mode and is ready for programming.

• Adjust the flow rate (ml/h) if required by using the "+" or "-" key. Hold either key down to
change rapidly.
• If another parameter is indicated in the LCD, it will be necessary to first press the "ml/h" key
followed by the "+" or "-" key to set the flow rate.
• The flow rate ranges from 1 - 400 ml/h in 1ml increments.
• The flow rate slows down and stops shortly at 50 - 125 - 250 ml/h.
• Press the "VOL=DOSE" key and make sure the value is put at 0 ml indicated by the word
"CONT". This means the pump will run in a continuous mode.
• Start the pump by pressing "START/STOP".
• The arcs around the word "run" start rotating.
• The flow rate (ml/h) is displayed whilst functioning.

From a hold position with the last flow rate (ml/h) displayed in the LCD:
• Set the flow rate by pressing the "+" or "-" key.
If another parameter is displayed:
• Press first the "ml/h" key followed by "+" or "-" key to adjust the flow rate. The flow rate
can be set between 1 and 400 ml/h, with increments of 1ml.
• Press the "VOL=DOSE" key and install the volume to be administered with the "+" and "-" key.
The range goes from 1 - 4000 ml, with steps from 1ml.
• Start the pump by pressing "START/STOP".
During functioning the following parameters can be found in the display:
• By pressing the "ml/hl" key the "flow rate" is displayed.
• By pressing the "INFO" key the total volume since the memory was
INFO
cleared will be visualized.

When the required volume or dose has been delivered, "END OF DOSE" will appear and the
pump will beep (or mute, depending upon the pumps' configuration (see paragraph: set up mode).

To change the feeding program during functioning
• Press the "START/STOP" key to pause the pump.
• Change the program by pressing the required key (ml/h or VOL=DOSE) and adjust using the
"+" or "-" keys.
• Restart the pump by pressing the "START/STOP" key again.
Clearing the memory
All parameters and values can be cleared one after the other in the following way:
• Press "START/STOP" to pause the pump.
• Select the parameter that needs to be cleared.
• Press the "CLR" key to clear the memory. The parameter or value returns to its default value:
ml/h = 125 ml/h
VOL = cont
INFO = 0 ml
In order to keep a clear overview of the daily amount of feed delivered, clear the total volume
delivered as each daily feeding schedule is started, as follows:
START/STOP
CLR
• When another feeding program needs to be started, or the pump will be used for another
patient, all settings (rate and dose) can be returned to default and the volume delivered can
be set at zero by simply pressing the "CLR" key and keeping it pressed for 2 seconds.

Battery operation

• The Flocare
• The battery symbol in the display is automatically replaced by the plug symbol when the
adapter is plugged in. The "fuel gauge" then indicates that the battery is charging by
displaying the segments in an ascending low to high pattern starting with the leftmost
segment. This pattern continuously repeats while the pump is charging.
• In case of power failure the pump automatically switches to battery powered operation.
• When during functioning the last block is gone, the battery symbol will blink to indicate that there
is approximately 1 hour of charge left. The display will flash "BATT" every 3 seconds, alternating
with the active display and the pump will beep every 2 seconds to remind the user of the low
battery charge condition. Plug in the charger to continue to run and recharge the battery.
• As the battery level decreases the pump may not be able to deliver tube feeds at rates greater
than 300 ml/h, even though some battery capacity remains. The pump will alarm and indicate
= No dose set. Pump will feed continuously until feed container is empty
or pump is stopped
= Volume delivered is cleared
• Switch the pump "ON"
• Immediately after the self-test the pump displays total volume delivered.
• Press the "CLR" key. The total volume delivered returns to "0 ml".
• The pump displays the previous programmed flow rate (ml/h).
• The pump is in the "HOLD" mode ready for programming.

Infinity
™
pump is equipped with a Lithium-ion battery.
• To check the status of the battery, disconnect the charger from the pump
and turn the pump on. The bars between E and F (E=Empty, F=Full) represent
the "fuel gauge" of the battery. Each bar is approximately 1/4 of a full
battery charge. If 2 bars appear the battery is half full and remaining
operating time is approximately 12 hours at a flow rate of 125 ml/h.
