"BATT". If this happens, either recharge the battery or select a lower rate to complete the
feed cycle.
• The lifetime of the battery is optimally maintained by using the pump on a regular basis on
battery until it is fully discharged followed by a full recharge via the adapter on mains power.
• In case of battery failure, caused by, for example, an excessive temperature condition (which
may resolve itself with time) or by a complete battery failure, the E, F and battery symbol will
flash. Turn the pump "off" and contact your healthcare provider or refer the pump to service.

Connection to an external alarm system

The power connector at the side of the pump offers the option of connecting the pump via
the Flocare ® Infinity ™ Nurse Call (corporate code 35752) to an external alarm system.
This external alarm system may be with open or closed contact.

ALARM FUNCTIONS AND SAFETY FEATURES

In case any of the problems listed on the problem solver chart occur, the pump delivers an audible
and visual alarm and stops working. The back light of the LCD automatically switches on.
Exception to this is the low battery alarm "BATT", in this situation the pump continues working.
Action in the event of an alarm:
Check the type of alarm displayed by the large display characters.
• Press the "START/STOP" key to stop the audible and visual alarm.
• Correct the cause of the alarm as described in the table.
• Start the pump again by pressing "START/STOP".
The problem solver chart on the next page gives a clear explanation of the alarms.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning:
• Always unplug the pump prior to cleaning to avoid electric shock hazard.
• On a regular basis thoroughly clean all surfaces of the pump (including the sensors and rotor)
with warm soapy water, a 5% bleach solution in water, or a multipurpose disinfectant cleaner.
• The Flocare ® Infinity ™ pump may be rinsed by holding under a stream of warm, clean water.
Do not submerge the pump!
• Always maintain the three rollers on the rotor in a clean state to ensure they spin freely.
• The adaptor normally does not require cleaning. When desired, a dry or slightly damp cloth
may be used to clean the outside surface of the adaptor. Make sure the adaptor is
disconnected from the wall outlet.
Safety notes:
• The manufacturer recommends an inspection of the pump at an authorised service centre
every 2 years.
• If any fault occurs during use, or if the pump is dropped, it should be checked by authorised
technical personnel prior to use.
UK
• Replace the Flocare ® Infinity ™ pump set every 24 hours to maintain delivery accuracy and
