Nutricia F-800 User manual
Your healthcare practitioner has advised you to administer your tube feeding using a
Flocare® 800 (F800) enteral feeding pump.
The F800 is a stationary pump that helps you in administering your feeding regime in
an easy and safe manner.
Daily Care of the F800 pump
> Make sure that your pump, including the sensors and the rotor, is kept clean.
The F800 pump can be cleaned using a damp cotton swab or cloth.
> Always unplug the pump from the electrical circuit prior to cleaning.
> The battery should be maintained at full charge if possible. Keep the pump
connected to the mains whenever possible. If the battery is fully charged, the
pump can operate for 3 hours (at an average speed of 125 ml/h).
The “LOW BATTERY” alarm will sound when approximately 30 minutes of
operation time remain.
The battery will be fully reloaded after ca.12 hours of charging.
