Manual Reference
Kangaroo Joey Enteral Feed and Flush Pump with Pole Clamp, Programmable, Operation and Service Manual; the separate System Performance Test procedure and certificate supplied with the user-manual media; and current Cardinal Health product/support documentation. Older controlled manuals carry Tyco Healthcare or Covidien branding; use the current Cardinal Health document, exact revision, serial applicability, and regional instructions. The separate OEM performance-test document governs the complete recertification sequence.
Manufacturer Recommendation / AEM Status
- Every two years: Perform system performance testing/recertification to verify proper function and safety.
- Whenever improper performance is suspected: Repeat the performance tests before return to use, including after unexplained delivery, alarm, set-detection, power, or mechanical concerns.
- As needed: Clean the pump based on use and environment, following the approved methods and trained-personnel requirements.
- Condition based: Replace damaged or failed customer-serviceable items—top door, approved battery pack, battery door, AC adapter, pole clamp, and specified plugs—using exact authorized parts and qualified personnel.
- Battery: A new, fully charged approved battery is specified for at least 18 hours at 125 mL/hr. Charge a replacement for six hours before off-AC use and investigate failure to meet the applicable controlled battery test.
Service boundary: The main housing contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open it. Electronic assembly repair by non-authorized personnel can affect accuracy. All service personnel must be trained and qualified; repairs beyond the listed external items belong to Cardinal Health or an authorized service provider.
If the facility changes the two-year interval or task set, manage the change through its approved AEM program, documented risk assessment, service history, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Never immerse the pump or adapter, permit liquid into the enclosure/shaft opening, bypass alarms or set recognition, use a non-approved battery/adapter/set, or open the main housing.
Step-by-Step PM Procedure
1. Remove From Clinical Use
Action: Confirm the pump is not connected to a patient, stop delivery, remove formula/water and the used set, provide an alternate feeding plan as needed, label the pump unavailable, and complete infection-control preparation.
Expected outcome: The pump is isolated and safe for maintenance without unintended feeding or flushing.
2. Verify Identity, Configuration, and Interval
Action: Record asset tag, Cardinal Health Kangaroo Joey model/catalog, serial number, software and flash versions from the BioTech screen, certification interval counter, feed-only/feed-and-flush and ENFit configuration, lock/EZ Pump settings, approved battery and AC adapter, pole clamp, backpack, and accessories. Confirm the two-year due date and exact manual/test revision.
Expected outcome: The asset matches the CMMS record and the correct recertification procedure, set, interval, and configuration are identified.
3. Review History and Field Actions
Action: Review prior recertification, repairs, accuracy results, formula/water complaints, flow/feed/flush/set-dislodged/rotor/system errors, battery runtime, charging, drops, fluid entry, cleaning damage, service bulletins, recalls, and field actions.
Expected outcome: Recurring faults and all due corrective work are known before testing.
4. Clean and Dry the Pump
Action: Disconnect AC. Use a damp cloth or sponge and a manual-compatible mild detergent or disinfectant. Clean the housing, loading area, door, pole clamp, and external surfaces. Do not spray, immerse, or use prohibited strong cleaners. Clean the AC adapter only when soiled, unplugged, using an isopropyl-alcohol-dampened cloth. Allow everything to dry completely.
Expected outcome: The pump and adapter are clean, dry, free of residue, and show no evidence of liquid entry.
5. Inspect Enclosure, Labels, Door, and Mounting
Action: Inspect the housing/soft-touch coating, serial and safety labels, display window, keypad, LEDs, alarm opening, top door, hinges, latch, battery door/seal/screws, AC jack, serial I/O port, pole-clamp stud, pole clamp, cord retention, backpack, and all accessories.
Expected outcome: All surfaces, labels, doors, seals, controls, ports, mounting parts, and accessories are complete, legible, secure, and undamaged.
6. Inspect and Clean the Rotor Area
Action: Inspect rotor rollers, shaft, set-loading guides, sensors, and MISTIC connector for formula residue, wear, binding, cracks, or damage. If manual-authorized rotor removal is necessary, trained personnel use the 5/64-inch (2 mm) hex key, prevent moisture entering the shaft opening, clean/dry the rollers completely, align the set screw with the shaft flat, and reinstall without overtightening.
Expected outcome: The rotor turns freely; the shaft area, sensors, guides, and connector are clean/dry; and the rotor is correctly retained.
7. Inspect Battery and AC Power System
Action: Inspect the approved lithium-ion battery, harness/connector, compartment, door, watertight seal, wire routing, AC adapter, cord, plug, strain relief, and output connector. Check for swelling, leakage, heat, corrosion, pinching, looseness, or incompatible parts. Charge a replacement battery for six hours before off-AC use.
Expected outcome: Approved power parts are undamaged, securely connected, correctly sealed, and safe to energize.
8. Verify Startup, BioTech Data, and User Interface
Action: Power the pump using the approved adapter and battery. Verify startup, display, touch buttons, status LEDs, audible alarm, battery icon, language, date/time if applicable, BioTech serial/software/flash data, certification interval counter, lock setting, EZ Pump setting, and communications status. Preserve the approved configuration.
Expected outcome: Startup completes without system error, all controls/indicators operate, identity data are correct, and no unauthorized setting change remains.
9. Complete the OEM System Performance Recertification
Action: Install the correct recertification pump set and run the complete current System Performance Test exactly as described by the separate OEM procedure and certificate. Follow every prompt, record each pass/fail result, and do not substitute a normal clinical set for a dedicated recertification set where the controlled procedure requires it.
Expected outcome: Every required self-diagnostic and performance item passes, the certificate is complete, and the certification interval is correctly updated only by the authorized workflow.
10. Set Up the Independent Flow-Rate Accuracy Test
Action: At 22 ± 2 °C (72 ± 3 °F), fill a new feed-only set bag with water to the 500 mL mark and load it. Suspend the set so the top of the water column is six inches above the top of the closed pump door. Connect approved AC power; do not run this test on battery. Program Continuous Mode at 125 mL/hr.
Expected outcome: The new set, water column, temperature, power source, and programmed rate match the manual's accuracy-test conditions.
11. Measure Flow-Rate Accuracy
Action: Run for 15 minutes before collection. Then collect delivery for exactly 30 minutes in the calibrated cylinder. Record the measured volume. If outside range, load another new pump set and repeat once to confirm.
Expected outcome: At 125 mL/hr using water, the 30-minute result is 60.63–69.38 mL. A confirmed result outside this range fails.
12. Verify Feed-Only and Feed/Flush Set Recognition
Action: Using correct new sets and no patient connection, verify MISTIC recognition of feed-only versus feed-and-flush sets, loading prompts, automatic anti-free-flow behavior, priming, rotor operation, set seating, and door protection. Do not reuse a set beyond its labeled limit.
Expected outcome: Each supported set is identified correctly, loads securely, primes, and operates without set, rotor, flow, feed, or flush error.
13. Verify Delivery Modes and Hold/Restart
Action: Exercise the applicable Continuous and Intermittent feed functions plus flush programming when using a feed-and-flush set. Verify rate/VTBD entry, bolus/interval functions where applicable, output totals/history, RUN, HOLD, restart, Keep Tube Open, and program lock/EZ Pump behavior.
Expected outcome: Programming, delivery, hold/restart, totals/history, and configured restrictions operate correctly without unintended delivery.
14. Verify Alarms and Safety Responses
Action: Under the controlled performance procedure, verify applicable System Error, Flow Error, Pump Set Dislodged, Hold Error, Rotor Error, Feed Error, Flush Error, and Battery Low indications, including audible alarm, display message, status LEDs, and safe pump response.
Expected outcome: Each tested condition is detected, annunciated, displayed, and cleared correctly; alarm volume and visual indicators are effective.
15. Verify Battery, Charging, and Power Transfer
Action: Confirm charging on the approved adapter, battery indication, operation after AC removal, expected alarm near depletion, and clean transfer between sources without losing the program. Perform the controlled battery-capacity test when due or indicated.
Expected outcome: A new fully charged battery meets the applicable specification of at least 18 hours at 125 mL/hr, or an in-service battery passes the current controlled acceptance criterion; charging and source transfer operate correctly.
16. Inspect Customer-Serviceable Parts and Accessories
Action: Confirm the top door, approved battery/battery door, AC adapter, pole clamp, electrical plugs, and accessories are the correct parts and fit securely. Replace only under current instructions and with appropriately qualified technical personnel. Do not open the main housing.
Expected outcome: All external serviceable items and accessories are correct, secure, compatible, and functional.
17. Perform Electrical Safety Testing
Action: Test the configured pump and exact AC adapter as Class II, internally powered, Type BF equipment under the facility's applicable standard and current controlled service procedure. Record analyzer, method, limits, and actual results.
Expected outcome: Required enclosure/touch, applied-part, adapter, and accessory measurements pass; protective-earth testing is recorded N/A unless the exact configured accessory requires it.
18. Restore, Retest, and Document
Action: Remove test sets and fluid, restore authorized lock/EZ Pump/language and clinical settings, reinstall all covers/accessories, verify no test program remains, complete a final startup/functional check, clean/dry the pump, and document the recertification certificate, measurements, parts, corrective work, and disposition.
Expected outcome: The pump is correctly configured, clean, complete, traceable, and formally returned to service or quarantined.
Electrical Safety Testing
The reviewed manual classifies the Kangaroo Joey as Class II, internally powered, Type BF, using the approved 5 V DC, 2.4 A AC adapter. Protective-earth resistance is normally not applicable to a double-insulated Class II configuration. The public manual does not provide one universal numeric leakage limit for every regional adapter and test standard; use the current controlled service procedure, exact labels, facility policy, and applicable standard.
