Step-by-Step PM Procedure

1. Confirm Device Identity

Action: Verify manufacturer, model, asset number, serial number, and assigned department.

Expected outcome: Device is correctly identified before PM work begins.

2. Confirm Pump Is Not in Use

Action: Confirm the pump is not connected to a patient and is not being used for an active feeding.

Expected outcome: PM is performed only when the pump is out of clinical use.

Why it matters: The manual warns not to perform service or maintenance while the pump is in use.

3. Visual Inspection

Action: Inspect the pump housing, display, buttons, handle, rear case, power supply port, pole clamp attachment points, and labels.

Check for cracked or damaged housing, damaged display, missing or unreadable labels, loose or damaged pole clamp attachment points, damaged power supply port, evidence of fluid ingress, or signs the housing was opened or tampered with.

Expected outcome: Pump is physically intact and suitable for continued testing.

Remove from service if housing is cracked, display is unreadable, fluid ingress is suspected, the power port is damaged, or tamper protection concern is present.

4. Power Adapter Inspection

Action: Inspect the approved Kangaroo OMNI power adapter and cable.

Check for damaged insulation, bent or loose connector, loose strain relief, evidence of liquid exposure, or non-approved adapter substitution.

Expected outcome: Approved power adapter is present, intact, and safe to use.

Why it matters: The manual cautions to use only the supplied Kangaroo OMNI power adapter. The AC adapter is rated IPX0 and is not water resistant.

5. Cleaning Condition Check

Action: Inspect the pump for visible soil, formula residue, dried fluid, buildup, or debris.

Pay close attention to the pump rotor, rotor rollers, valve actuator, occlusion sensor area, cassette seating pathway, and exterior housing crevices.

Expected outcome: Pump is visibly clean before functional testing.

Remove from service if liquid appears to have entered the pump interior or the power adapter has been wetted.

6. Clean Pump as Needed

Action: Disconnect from AC power before cleaning. Clean the exterior using the manual-listed cleaning method.

Use mild dishwashing detergent mixed at a 20:1 water-to-detergent ratio. Wipe exterior surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge. Use cotton swabs for the rotor, sensor area, and cassette pathway. Use a soft bristle brush only if needed for difficult areas.

Expected outcome: No visible soil remains.

Do not immerse the pump or power adapter. Do not clean while connected to AC power. Do not disassemble the pump.

7. Rotor, Valve Actuator, and Sensor Area Check

Action: Inspect and clean the rotor, valve actuator, occlusion sensor region, and cassette seating pathway.

Verify the rotor area is clean, rotor rollers spin freely, valve actuator is clean and unobstructed, occlusion sensor area is clean and dry, and cassette pathway is free of lint, debris, and formula buildup.

Expected outcome: Mechanical and sensor areas are clean, dry, and unobstructed.

8. Power-On Check

Action: Power on the pump.

Verify the pump powers on normally, display is readable, startup sequence completes, audible power-up sound is heard, buttons respond normally, and no persistent system error appears.

Expected outcome: Pump starts normally and is ready for testing.

Remove from service if no audible sound occurs during power-up, system error persists, display is unreadable, or controls do not respond.

9. Charging / Battery Check

Action: Connect the pump to the approved Kangaroo OMNI power adapter and AC outlet.

Verify the green power indicator light illuminates, battery icon indicates charging, power adapter connection is secure, and no low battery or dead battery alarm remains after charging is initiated.

Expected outcome: Pump recognizes AC power and charges normally.

Note: The manual states 12 hours are required to fully recharge the battery pack. If powering from AC does not restore charge to the battery pack, the manual indicates the battery pack is no longer functional and should be replaced by a qualified technician through the recommended service process.

10. Alarm Function Check

Action: Verify alarm function using the manual-listed alarm system check.

Load a new Kangaroo OMNI Feeding Set onto the pump. Leave the feeding set empty. Run Auto Prime.

Confirm the pump detects a Feed Error condition. Confirm the audible alarm, color display, and colored LEDs all properly indicate the Feed Error condition.

Expected outcome: Feed Error alarm activates with audible alarm, screen indication, and LED indication.

Remove from service if audible alarm, screen indication, or LED alarm indication does not function correctly.

11. Biotech Mode Note

Action: Use Biotech Mode to access the manufacturer-listed Manual Certification test.

The manual describes Biotech Mode as a menu location for settings generally changed by a biomedical technician. The Manual Certification / performance test is accessed from this area.

Expected outcome: Technician can access Biotech Mode and run the built-in performance test.

12. Manual Certification / Performance Test

Action: Perform the Manual Certification procedure in Biotech Mode.

Manual-listed setup: Load a standard Kangaroo OMNI Feeding Set. Fill with at least 50 mL of water. Feeding set should be pre-primed. Water should be visible in the downstream tubing.

Procedure: Turn the pump off. Turn the pump back on. During the introduction animation, press and release the upper-left arrow button. Confirm Biotech Mode appears. Select Test Pump. Press Start. Follow the screen prompts while the pump tests its operating functions. Wait for the test to complete. Confirm the pump displays Test Passed.

Expected outcome: Manual Certification completes with Test Passed.

Remove from service if Manual Certification fails, the pump displays a failure code, the test cannot be completed, or the pump does not display Test Passed. Document the failure code and contact Cardinal Health / Customer Service.

13. Optional Facility Accuracy Check

Action: Perform only if required by facility policy.

The manual provides accuracy information that can be used if the facility performs an additional delivery accuracy check.

Standard formula feeding sets, standard rates: ±5% or 0.5 mL/hr, whichever is larger.

Standard formula Bolus Max: ±10% or 1.0 mL/hr, whichever is larger.

Thick formula feeding sets: ±10% or 1.0 mL/hr, whichever is larger.

Flush accuracy: ±10%.

At 125 mL/hr, expected standard formula delivery over 30 minutes is 59.37 mL to 65.63 mL.

At 125 mL/hr, expected thick formula delivery over 30 minutes is 56.25 mL to 68.75 mL.

Starting fluid height should be 10 in. / 25.4 cm ± 0.76 cm above the top of the pump during accuracy testing.

Expected outcome: Delivery volume meets the applicable manual-listed tolerance if facility policy requires this check.

Note: Do not treat this optional accuracy check as manufacturer-required PM unless your facility policy requires it. The manufacturer-listed recurring test is the Manual Certification / performance test.

Electrical Safety Testing if applicable
