The next generation in enteral feeding,
Kangaroo OMNI™ delivers nutrition and hydration from hospital to
home.
DUBLIN,
Ohio, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardinal
Health (NYSE: CAH) announced today the U.S. launch of its Kangaroo
OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump, designed to help provide enteral
feeding patients with more options to meet their personalized needs
throughout their enteral feeding journey.
Kangaroo OMNI™ is the first and only attitude independent enteral
feeding system in the U.S. designed to deliver thick*, homogenized
and blended formulas. With a compact size for portability, the
versatility to feed, flush and hydrate, and transmit a 30-day
feeding history, Kangaroo OMNI™ is one pump to help meet the
enteral feeding needs of patients and caregivers—from hospital to
home.
"Product innovation plays an essential role in our portfolio
lifecycle process. Kangaroo OMNI™ was designed to help improve the
lifestyle of enteral feeding patients and caregivers through ease
of use, intelligence, versatility and portability,"
said Kelley Moffett, senior vice president, Global Medical
Products, Medical Segment, Cardinal Health. "Kangaroo OMNI™
provides patients and caregivers with the lightest, smallest and
quietest Kangaroo™ feed and flush enteral feeding pump, while
delivering a wider variety of commercially available enteral
formulas to the patient."
As an industry leader in nutritional delivery, the Kangaroo™
brand has been globally recognized for more than 30 years through
its continuous innovation and improved offerings. Kangaroo OMNI™ is
the next generation in enteral feeding with new features from
previous Kangaroo™ systems, including delivery of thick*,
homogenized and blended feeding formulas, interruption monitoring
to display nutrition missed when the pump has been turned off, and
a night mode that darkens the pump screen in low-light settings to
help minimize feeding disruption.
Seanne Wedman, a clinical products
consultant with Cardinal Health Canada and a former nurse said,
"Kangaroo OMNI™ has innovative modifications for improved ease of
use and portability when compared to other Kangaroo™ pumps." As the
mother of an enterally fed child who has been enterally fed since
birth, Seanne continued, "The compact size and portability of
Kangaroo OMNI™ allows my son to be fed and hydrated while doing the
typical things that kids do—like going to school, playing or
vacationing with family."
The Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump is also designed with
the caregiver in mind, providing a familiar user interface to other
Kangaroo™ pumps to help facilitate a smooth transition; the ability
to withstand cleaning under running water as our most
water-resistant Kangaroo™ enteral feeding pump; compatible
accessories such as a pole clamp and table stand; and can translate
screen content in 19 languages.
