INFORMATION Intended purpose The APPLIX Vision is intended exclusively for enteral feeding. It can be used with both home patients and hospital patients. It is an easy-to-use feeding pump with the application programs: Continuous, Volume/time, Bolus. The alarm functions ensure optimum reliability.

Indication  Only suitable for enteral feeding.  The user should refer to the operating conditions (see p. 35), in order to check that the use of the APPLIX pump is compatible with the clinical condition of the patient, particularly on infants and neonates.  Due to the diversity of the use conditions with a wide range of solution characteristics (density, viscosity, quantity of dissolved gasses, rheology, particles, temperature, individualized nutrition preparation, ...), the performance of the occlusion detection may not be granted under all circumstances. Therefore Fresenius Kabi recommends not using the APPLIX device without a timely and regular surveillance especially when an interruption of the nutrition delivery may lead to a patient hazard (e.g. comatose situation).

Contraindications  Do not use for the intravenous administration of infusions.  Do not use if enteral feeding is contraindicated (e.g. ileus, uncontrolled diarrhoea, severe acute pancreatitis or intestinal atony) or if the patient needs to be fed parenterally.

Complications  Even with pump assisted feeding, problems such as diarrhoea or a bloated feeling may arise. The speed of administration must be adapted individually to the patient. Regular checks are required.

Important notes  The APPLIX Vision is intended solely for enteral feeding.  When using the pump, please note the operating conditions (see p. 35).  The function of the pump is guaranteed only if it is operated with the appropriate Fresenius Kabi giving sets, (see ordering information on p. 43), and if the giving set is correctly installed (see Installing the giving set in the pump p. 11). Otherwise patients may be put at risk under certain circumstances. The giving sets should be single use only for no longer than 24 hours as depicted by Bristish Standard EN 1615.  The feeding tube should be flushed through before and after every administration of feed and before, between and after the administration of individual drugs.  The APPLIX Vision may not be operated in areas where there is a risk of explosion.  The feeding pump has a BF-classification. To conform with CF requirements in a cardiac environment where the patient has direct cardiac access, keep the pump attached on its holder.  When changing the nutrition bag/bottle/container without changing the giving set, it is recommended to open the door of the pump and check the right position of the set before starting the pump again.  In case of prolonged storage of the device, check the general aspect of this one in order to make sure it is in good condition.

Nurse call and data interface The pump holder provides the opportunity of connecting to a nurse call system. Further information about connection is available from the Technical Service department.  The function is available if the pump is properly engaged in the holder and the holder is connected to the mains.  Plug the connecting cable for the nurse call function into the connector on the holder and guide through the lateral cable fixing. Then connect to the nurse call system.  Before using the pump, check that the transfer line for the nurse call system is working properly by initiating an alarm (e.g. start without giving set) at the pump.

GIVING SET Priming of the giving set for example: APPLIX Vision Pump Set VarioLine

APPLIX Vision - Pump Sets WARNING! Operate the pump only with the appropriate Fresenius Kabi APPLIX giving sets (see ordering information on p. 43). Otherwise administration problems cannot be ruled out. NOTE: When opening the pump door, the tube clamp is closed automatically (free-flow prevention device). 1. Close tube clamp. 2. Connect food container to giving set and hang up. 3. Fill drip chamber half full by pressing gently. 4. Use preferably the automated priming process: Ensure that the set is correctly installed in the pump prior to closing the door, (see page 11 "Installing the giving set in the pump“). 5. Close the door by pushing firmly on the grey door-lever. 6. Press the automated priming key: keep the priming key depressed. Prime to the end of the giving set. 7. Release the key once priming is completed. Verify the flow by checking the liquid flow in the drip chamber after starting the pump.

NOTE: When priming the set manually, the steps following step n° 3 above are: 4. Open tube clamp Prime to the end of the giving set. 5. Close tube clamp 6. Install the set in the pump to start nutrition administration (see "Installing the giving set in the pump“, page 11 and “starting up the pump”, page 18). Verify the flow by checking the liquid flow in the drip chamber after starting the pump. NOTE: For giving sets without drip chamber, use only the automatic priming.

STARTING UP THE PUMP Mains operation With pump holder and mains lead

1. Push the pump onto the guide rail of the holder until it clicks. 2. Plug the mains lead into the mains connector on the holder (see page 9). 3. Connect the mains lead to the mains (the green "Mains" indicator on the holder comes on). The "Plug" symbol appears in the display.

Battery operation Battery life: 24 hrs Rate: 125 ml ⁄ h Battery is full

Battery is empty

Before starting for the first time, charge the batteries for approx. 5 hours! If the pump is connected to the mains, the batteries also charge during operation. When the pump is disconnected from the mains, it automatically switches to battery mode. The maximum life of the batteries is only achieved after several charge/discharge cycles. In the event of frequent mains operation, battery life may be less. Battery indicator shows 3 bars when fully charged. The "battery pre-alarm" will be activated when there is at least 30 minutes of battery life (or charge) remaining. If the pump is not connected to an electrical power source to recharge within 30 minutes, the pump will stand by and the "battery alarm" will activate for 10 minutes. If at this time the battery is not recharged, it will shut off.

Switch on Press key for approx 1 second

An acoustic signal sounds. The pump performs a self-test. The numbers 1-4 and then all the display symbols appear. The user should have a look at the display during the self test, in order to detect potential failures. The last feeding program activated including settings is displayed.

Start Press key

Flashing bars and drops indicate the start of feed/fluid administration (*).

Stop Press key

STOP appears in the display.

Switch off Keep depressed for approx. 1 second

In mains mode, the "Plug" symbol is visible in the display. The pump retains all information when switched off. This information is saved for 1 month provided the battery was fully charged at switch off.

(*) In order to detect an upstream occlusion occurred before starting the pump, the APPLIX Vision delivers a small initial volume at a higher rate, right after START, if the door has been previously opened or an upstream occlusion alarm has been triggered (see Operating conditions p. 35).

ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM The APPLIX Vision offers three different administration programs:

Continuous:

Volume/time:

Bolus:

Feed is administered continuously at the selected speed

The Volume/time program is a continuous program that calculates the feed rate according to the specified feed quantity (target volume) and administration time. The rate calculated is shown in the display.

Feed is administered portionwise at the time intervals selected. The feed speed is fixed at 600 ml/h.
