My new feeding pump

my kangaroo joey pump from apria

Some of you may already know that Quality Healthcare Equipment is no longer able to service us for G-Tube feeding supplies and we ran out of supplies for their pump which was a Kangaroo 224 about a week ago around Monday give or take a day or two. I absolutely loved that Kangaroo 224, very quiet and easy to use pump. We first tried switching to one company which was a huge mistake, their representative would not stop talking while we were trying to convey my initial order and needs and one of those needs was a quiet pump du to my autism and sound sensitivity, he said that we would get a Zevex Enteralite Infinity pump. They lied, the next day they delivered a Novartis COMPAT pump which was huge and loud and very difficult to use. We tried it for a few nights and i could not sleep with this monster pump ticking and clicking in my ear. Last Friday they finally delivered the Zevex Enteralite Infinty pump which was a tiny and nearly silent pump, the problem, they sent 500ml bags when I require 1000ml bags. Which were shipped with the first pump. We got so sick of this we finally called on Saturday to Apria’s emergency line and made an emergency order which was delivered on Monday night at 9:00 PM by a woman named Jill who was very friendly got us set up, warehouse did not give her the correct clamp for my pump model but that was fixed on Tuesday. But for monday night and Tuesday morning we had the pump duct taped from the bottom to the rolling hospital table. I love this pump like I loved my old one. If you ever need a feeding pump ask for a Kangaroo pump, they are the only pump I will ever use.

I will work on getting photos of it on the pole tonight or tomorrow.
